when it stops raining. and when i get it running better.

@@jimt162 I sold them cheap. I was sick and couldnt work on them. One of my many fails. They were nice bikes but rather complicated and heavy to work on. Cheers JT

Well long story, I thought the cdi box was working ok but the first venture still ran shitty. I made a bogus compression check which i thought was too low and pulled engine. Short story due to pain and health and motivation at the time I gave up and sold both ventures. I always wanted to ride a nice venture royale for a while. These were nice smooth powerful bikes in their day. It seems to me that once these bikes were left outside in the elements. The cdi boxes leaked corroded and were damaged over the years. To me they seemed fairly over complicated to work on. You can buy aftermarket cdi boxes online (used too) but they were about 300$ then. I may try to get one going again but it would have to be given to me with a fairly clean fuel tank. You can take the cdi box apart like i did and look for any obvious visual signs of damage. Better yet make sure all interlocks, switches and relays are making contact so that all the correct conditions are met to fire the cdi before you blame the cdi. fairly complicated bike, should get a manual, and study it if you got time.

@@sixlegsnimrod Been through this one every which way. Definitely TCI. I opened it up. Waaay worse condition than your video. So the bike is a paperweight and poster board until a replacement is found.

groovy baby

It never put out enough heat. It was difficult to control, and never burned very clean. I dont have it any more. Oh well.

for the sake of any future readers of this: it didn't burn clean, because you removed the top baffle. it didn't put out enough heat because you let half the heat go up the stack, because of what you did to the baffle. i didn't see you have the stock blower on it either, that would have utilized the built in air channels to move the heat around the room quickly. user error :)

@@derrickito it was worse when it was all stock. Thats why the prior owner got rid of it also.

Thats what I was hoping for with this one.It smokes, smolders, and goes out if the air is closed down all the way, and the secondary burn stops after about 30 seconds. It burns fine with more air but does not put out much heat. Im skeptical that yours burns for that long with any decent heat output. This one will smolder for 6 or 7 hours.

Not really giving up, maybe just postponing the work or just doing a little at a time.

@sixlegsnimrod sounds good. Ya I have a couple old mac 10 10s I'm trying to get fixed up have to replace the crank seals and it's cold here I don't have a heated garage to work in unfortunately

why do want me to move it there?

i burn anything i can get

One damn dangerous M F er

👍

a few inches i guess

I have the opposite problem in that my stove always gets too hot. I have a new gasket. I am getting too much air and no way to slow it down.

nah, its just a shitty low btu stove.

But you could be right, I should have blasted some compressed air in behind where the tubes mount. Could be a mouse nest in there.

I found out that it was my door gasket

yes thats it.

I just looked up that blaze king. those burn times sound too good to be true for a stove that size. if its true, that is great

i got more

Thank you!!

why?

@@sixlegsnimrod gas escape,- carbon monoxide

​@@sixlegsnimrodin order for secondary burn to work good the fire box needs to be sealed good so no air leaks preventing it from doing its thing. A small half inch hole toward the bottom to feed the lower half of the fire is all that's needed when the stove gets hot enough.

It is an old stove, When I first rebuilt it I did not even know about secondary burn I should have sealed it up better then. Now I dont want to redo it. I am just messing around.

Its probably from 60 to 100 years old and was never designed to be airtight.

The pot will glow red. The sheet metal has been upgraded to a thicker stronger metal. No melting or warping occuring. She is a solid efficient heater. you're just jealous.

to watch. nothing cracked warped or broke. fuel for the wood stove.

im doing some more

Hmm maybe I will try it someday. thx

why do you ask my friend

Just curious. WRIF is well known around here. Looks like one of their banners from the 80’s!

Anyway yes, im in michigan. Used to listen to JJ, Dick the bruiser, Bullwinkle, the mayor of the fair city of detroit, Al Kaline, and Mr Stess all thru high school and beyond. Great stuff back then.

Yes, I always wanted one of these. Ive owned many bikes. This is my 1st Venture Royale. They are new to me. I really like the smooth ride. My 79 and 84 goldwings didnt have half as many issues as this thing. These old ventures seem somewhat problematic, but I still like them. Yes Ive been all over the web sites and service manual for info. This was almost a basket case. alot of issues but I think Im getting close. if the pistons and rings are bad, I might quit. Thanks

Thanks, Ive used jb weld mainly for metal repair. It doesnt seem to stick to plastic that well. I used gorilla super glue to stick the fairing together. Then a thick coat of automotive goop for reinforcement on the backside. The automotive goop sticks like sh-- to your shorts, remains flexible, and is quite tough. Ive used it to repair a lot of plastics

Thanks Leon

The way the fire works now is it burns downward through the grate and along the bottom of the barrel then up the back and it sends a considerable amount more heat through the garage instead of the chimney

A vertical wall blocking the top completely and only open at the bottom at a grate? Im trying to imagine. As long as the draft is strong enough to draw the burn wherever it goes, sounds like it would work.

@@sixlegsnimrod Yeah that's pretty much it and it worked tremendously well. Mine was just a test. I used some sheet metal I cut and a great out of a Coleman grill and it got hot enough to melt both. But when I go back out to it, I'll put a thicker wall in and a heavier grate and it should work quite well. I would like to add secondary air but I don't think there's a need my fire box isn't big enough

I guess you can tell how clean its burning by looking at the smoke while its burning where you like it. No visual smoke then its already burning good.

These cast iron wood stoves are acceptable for insurance while home made stoves are not! So with a home made stove and your house/shop burns down lots a luck getting your insurance to pay up!

I dont know, This is new to me. We will see how it goes

?????

Like Joe Pechi said, Im funny how? What am I some kind of clown? 🤡

haha

@@sixlegsnimrodYou’re feeding a troll…

Im trying. Im afraid I dont have a very smooth and accurate deliver, but I mostly know what Im doing.

Please be more specific. What is your issue.

Sorry, Im not the best communicator, I just do stuff.
