Re: [emrat:10019] Re: BMW Rider on the road in need of mechanic for old airhead.

Don owns and has owned a number of old air heads and has rebuilt a bunch of them, but he was on a ride today.  He did say if that guy didn't get sorted out today to let him know and he would get him back on the road tomorrow.  But it sounds like he is sorted :)

Yeah I friended him on facebook, if I ever hear back from him I will let you know. Diaphragm was our top contender when talking about it last night as well.

Was curious what it was.  My buddy was guessing diaphragm.  Either trashed or torn diaphragm, but you said they were rebuilt and he added OR didn't get the screws on the diaphragm tight and they came loose. With the disclaimer "ask me how I know about that one".   :)

Update: Thanks for everyone with suggestions, he got sorted out and back on the road. I didn't hear what the problem was but that he was well on his way by this evening when I heard back.

All,

   My wife was up in Wyoming for the Eclipse and ended up riding back with a guy on an older BMW airhead and is in need of some assistance. He is having some trouble with the carbs not refilling properly at speed.  He is going to head over to foothills this morning, but just in case they can't sort it out I wanted to reach out and ask if any of you know of someone who could help him out in short order. 

He is traveling through on his way to Maine from Tuscon, AZ. He was up in WY for the eclipse with some other folks, but is on his own now. It's always interesting the people you meet on the road, and to help out when you can. Someday that will be me in need and I would hope to run into a group like ours. 

          Thanks guys!
