Southern ingenuity

one morning three alabama good old boys and three yankees were in a ticket line at the birmingham train station heading to atlanta for a big football game.

The three northerners each bought a ticket and watched as the three southerners bought just one ticket among them.

"how are the thre of you going to travel on one one ticket?" asked one of the yankees.

"watch and learn" answered one of the boys from the south.

When the six travelers boarded the train, the three yankees sat down, but the three southerners crammed into a bathroom together and closed the door.

Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around

to collect tickets.

He knocked on the bathroom door and said, "tickets please." the door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket

in hand. The conductor took it and moved on.

The yankees saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea.

Indeed, so clever that they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save some money.

That evening after the game when they got to the atlanta train

station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip while

to their astonishment the three southerners didn't buy even one ticket.

"how are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one of the

perplexed yankees.

"watch and learn", answered one of the southern boys.

When they boarded the train the three northerners crammed themselves into a bathroom and the three southerners crammed themselves into the other bathroom across from it.

Shortly after the train began to move, one of the southerners left

their bathroom and walked quietly over to the yankee's bathroom.

He knocked on the door and said "ticket please".

There's just no way on god's green earth to explain how the

yankees won the war....

      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N

      I WANTED TO UPGRADE THE CARBURATOR ON MY 1992 BIG BEAR 350, SO I ORDERED A NEW CARB FROM EBAY.  ACCORDING TO THE WRITE-UP IT WAS A GOOD FIT FOR BIG BEARS FROM 1988 TO 1996.  WHEN I REMOVED MY ORIGINAL CARB I NOTICED THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE NEW CARB MY CARB HAD TWO THROTTLE  CABLES THE NEW CARB ONLY HAD ONE CABLE.  HOW CAN I MAKE THIS CARB WORK ON MY TWO CABLE THROTTLE?

      Hi Guys!

      New member and could really use your advice. I would have to believe this has been an issue for others but a search here came up with nothing......? (Probably me not doing search correctly)
       
      I have an 87 Big Bear 350 YFM350FWT
      The OEM Mikuni BTM carb is shot and would rather replace than rebuild.
      It is no longer made and I have had good luck with NICHE carbs so I ordered a #K-CRB-0006 This was what they said was replacement when ordered. This Carb only uses 1 Throttle cable. The Slide is linked so it uses one. (OEM had 2nd cable coming through top to move slide)
       
      Problem is when I ordered a replacement Cable from NICHE (#C-CBL-0061) the Cable wire is a little short, not allowing Throttle to return all the way down to Idle position. I called NICHE and they are at a loss. Haven't gotten back to me after 2+ weeks.
       
      What would you recommend other than a carb rebuild?
      Can I just use 1 of the OEM cables (It is the right length) and snip/disconnect the other that went to top of Carb for Slide?
      Or ??
       
      Thanks in advance for any advice you have!!

      Hello there
      I'm having a problem finding a quality carburetor for a 1993 Suzuki Quad Runner lt-f 250 2x4. I find a lot that have 3-4 star ratings. And all so far don't have the right throttle Cable inlet at the top. The last one I got 4 star on Amazon has a threaded cable sheath rest that could be partially drilled to work. I would prefer to get one I don't have to modify. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
