amazed newbie and doohickey

Post by Ms Fran » Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:55 am

Again many thanks After hearing so much about this doo hicky thingy, and while doing my first Oil change on my P/O 99... I decided to see for myself what this thing is... Took the side cover off and using a borescope light, it was obvious it was broken.... 1st Amazment - Fred Hinks.... A two day turnaround from order to receive date is unheard of this day and age.... Fred will continue to get any business I can give him.... 2nd Amazement - Russ Coley of Kissimee FL... I inquired of the list if anyone would lend me the tools.... A couple of days later, a brand new, never been used set of Doo tools showed up and all he wanted was postage..... A complete stranger..... Then he called and offerred to assist me in changing it....Now he wants to meet 1/2 way between the Fl West Coast and h is place.... He'll get his postage, his tools and dinner.... 3rd Amazement - Changing the doo is pretty much straight forward and being careful, can be done by anyone.... BUT only after reading/studyiing Eagle Mike's explanation and the explanation and pictures of several others on other forums. The Green Thing and I will head to Alaska, the very end of May for about a month. Then we'll return to our place on the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC for a month. Then it and I are headed back to my home town in the Adirondacks where I'm going back and ride dirt roads out in the puckerbrush that I hiked/camped and fished along as a kid. If there are any on the list that I can help in any way... Do not hesitate to call... If the majority of folks who ride Klr's are like the few I've already come into contact with, then I'll be a happy camper for a long time. Again, many thanks to all Wayne Barcomb 352-597-5854 Home (Fl West Coast in Winter) (Who knows in Summer) 352-428-0100 Cell (on the road) --------------------------------- No need to miss a message.

0W30 still gives good oil pressure in mine in even warm weather. Try monitoring oil pressure and you may be surprised. Norm [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
