Hi KLRistas...
I too am interested in changing the dreaded Doohicky... I've had a
replacement (in my parts box for over a year) so perhaps it's time. I live
on the NJ/PA border about two hours from NYC... I have all the tools,
compressor, Handy lift table but; no pool, so perhaps Richy's place on a
weekend is better? I can bring an extra set of KLR specific tools so we can
work on more than one bike at a time.
Right now I'm free any time after July 18th. To move this forward, let's
select a coordinator to "take names and best times" and move forward from
there... Since Devon is providing the expertise... He's "key" as to
availability. Maybe Tammy can join us?
Feel free to call me at the numbers below if you want to discuss this.
Best regards,
Ingo Lahnemann

It would be great if Tammy could come, because she's done more of these
than I have. Then I could work on my favorite project, which is drinking
beer while watching other people work on bikes.
Seriously, just a question of when work and family allow. I can turn up
anyplace within 2hrs of NYC or so, with whatever I can carry on the bike.

After July 18 is definitely better.....

Depending on where/when it winds up, I'll be in too. I've still not gotten
to doing mine yet.
I'd host it here but I have no shop nor shelter yet to work in.

Loren,
I'm not sure if having fuel in the carb bowl negates this theory, but
seeing as how you have a California model, it could have been a vapor
lock. The short term fix is opening the gas tank cap. The long term
fix is a process commonly refered to as "decalifornication".
