  1. I've seen mechanics use propane out of a small tank to find vaccum leaks. It pulls the propane in and revs up . I think wd-40 does the same thing
  2. Heat !!! put it in the oven, get it nice and hot, then try and remove it.
  3. Mine ended up being a bad wire betweeen the ignition switch and the starter.. do a search on starter issues and the jumper thread should pop up.
  4. at this point your going to have to ad some heat to get that pulley off. Small butane torch woud work i bet.
  5. I was using Purolator's, but that didn't matter for me as I had mounted the filter housing at a point lower than where the adaptor screwed onto the block.
  6. I was never happy with how long it took for oil pressure to build with dual filter remote setup. I could hear the lifters tapping for a second or two before they would get oil pressure. Put a stock filter back on, and had the oil light go out immediately after sitting overnight. Maybe on a modified engine with a high volume oil pump this might make more sense. I just need to pull the front wheel to change the filter from now on...
  7. I didn't unbolt the pahhard bar either.
  8. Installed the ES3000's last night. Now I'll say that I had put new shocks on my Pathy less than 10,000 miles ago, but they were the cheap (Brand x) yellow ones from the local parts store. I wasn't happy with the front end especially, so that's what led to the new pro comp's. Wow !!! The shock shaft is noticeably thicker than the Brand X. I installed the stiffer urethane bushing in the lower eye of the shock (supplied with shock) . The front end sits up higher ( feels like 1/2-3/4's of an inch), the front end is much more suple over speed bumps and potholes. The only issue is now the old rear ones feel like crap... Money well spent !
  9. just ordered a set of 3000's...will report next week
  10. I've got a new big blue relay you can have....mine used the newer smaller one.
  11. here is a link to thread about this issue...good luck !!! Starter
  12. I had been getting the intermitten "click" and no start from my 95'. I performed the jumper wire mod from the ignition switch (black wire with yellow stripe) to the wire coming out on the backside of the battery (black wire/pink stripe) that heads to the starter. It has started everytime since (50 times) so i'm calling it fixed !!! Thanks for all the help ! I would have never troubleshot this issue on my own ( I had already bought a new starter and blue relay)
  13. Anybody else notive the oil pressure is slow to build up if it sits for a few days with the dual filter relocator installed? I even reinstalled mine to a point lower than the oil filter outlet in case the oil was running back down into the pan after it sat.
  14. Thanks guys...It only has 83,000 miles on it. Bought from an older guy in sunny Florida, so no rust and i swear the paint on the frame still shines.. ( had to rub that is a little..ha!) The damn starting issue is still so intermitten that i can't troubleshoot it yet..I'll wait till the bitch flat out refuses and then I'll go from there. thanks for all the responses !
  15. Thanks for the reply !!! My "big blue" is actaually a "small blue" it sems.... I'm going to dive into my ignition switch tomorrow....Thanks !!
  16. I have a 95 Pathy. I'm wondering if they made a production change as this is what i see...I'm trying to deal with the "sometimes it won't start" issue Thanks, Troy
  17. I't can't hurt ,especially with how much these things cost...
