Afternoon. 

Ticking off a few to-do's today.  Supposed to be in the Mtns w/the girl gang (who I miss and need) but you know... dog capers interfere.  It's what I signed up for.  So... will get a bike ride in hopefully before the sun sets. 

I signed the dog up for a feeding tube during her liver and GI biopsy that's scheduled for Tuesday.  That will be fun but "they" say if all goes good, will improve her (my) QoL long term (tube will be weeks, a few months at most).     I've done all I could to get answers to questions, talked with a number of vets not on her case so decided that's what we're doing.

What a big joyful grin  ,,, lovely

i love that bike , i would   love to own it LOL

KOKO the pilot jet is .40 ,, same in my M750 which is perfect   the manuals usually say 37.5  for 750ss

Also usually the Horizontal cylinder needs 3.5 turns on Airscrews like my M750  BUT the Vert cylinder has always needed  4- 4.25 turns   which is again an anomaly   ,   

But as i have said once off tickover the 750ss  pulls evenly and smooth like a rocket  up to over 125mph

i have done that  , i also took the coils and pickups off the Monster 750  and tried them and it made no difference to the 750ss ,, when i put the     750ss coils and pickups and HT leads etc on the M750 it runs absolutely sweetly at tickover , even and crisp... 

Thats why i am sure its  not electrical  ..mind you when i swop the carbs to the M750 they also seem to run  better at tickover   Over last 5 years I have looked at this Anomaly several times ,,  I have even changed  the long intakes  from M750 to 750ss and all the rubber carb mounts and seal,s


even the cold compression is OK on both cylinders at 146psi front and 145 psi  rear  .

it make just be because the 750ss is a very early 1991 bike number 693   and the M750 is a year 2000???

im going to check the valve  clearances  on rear cylinder again, before i put the carbs back on  but I did them only 18 months ago and the bike has only done 700 miles in that time , as i have so many other rides ...

That's a reasonable question.

I should be on the phone every time it goes down, but I don't have the patience to sit on hold for days on end waiting for one moron to transfer me to another moron.

We shoulda switched when GoDaddy bought mediatemple.

We were having issues with the server going down. I came up with a plan to restart it every morning. Was working great until the day before yesterday. The server stopped being responsive at midnight.

Restarted...all good when I went to bed. Last night 3 am the make the beast with two backsing thing shuts down again.

Servers should never need to be restarted. They can't configure an SSL correctly so ours needs it regularly.
