electrical smoke

And sorry - that link I posted doesn't work either. Just google " Lucas replacement smoke kit" and you'll end up on the webpage.

Sheesh...Did you and Carver graduate from the same tech school??

Hahahahaha.....

Because the gasoline and matches repair didn't work, you'll need This tool from Aerostich

Well I started it today and as I figured - no smoke. I smelled around and nothing. Battery connections are tight. So I tried the gasoline and matches thing but all that did was melt stuff. Now I can't get the key out because the wind screen melted onto the ignition. So I'll replace that and I won't have to worry about it being a problem(the ignition. I can wait on a new windscreen. can probably pick up a used one on the cheap.). But now my ignition key and my saddlebag keys won't match so that's a pain. I don't know if the coolant was serviced but i don't need to worry about that now. The fire must've melted a coolant line because that's what helped put out the flames. Funny thing was the more coolant that leaked onto the fire, the more smoke I got. So I'm wondering if maybe the previous owner put magic smoke into the radiator and forgot to tell me. I don't know why he would do that. That's pretty stupid. So now the bike won't start, I can't adjust the wind screen, and the whole damn thing smells like smoke but there isn't any. Oh, I had plenty of smoke this morning but know it's all gone. And if any wires were chaffing together I can't tell now. Nothing has insulation on it. I guess I'll look at the owners manual and see what it says in the problem-solution section. Ya never know.....

This post is awesome. :drinks:

You need to come out and play with us after you get your smoke contained and get rid of the oncoming (eventually) winter.

In my original post on this thread I was trying to recall a joke I have had at my work desk for several years. So with great pleasure and in the spirit of contributing to the continued mayhem of this thread I present you with The Philogiston Theory of Electronics.

He's been huffing the smoke.. :lol:

With all the years I've been doing my own repairs on cars, bikes, heavy equipment, trucks, I never new how important smoke was to any type of electrical system. Now that I do, it explains a lot.

I'm proud of the nearly 20 years that I worked designing and producing ion implantation equipment for the semi-conductor field. For all this time I helped make the equipment that installs magic smoke It's hard work being a smoke blower

Not for Bust. He's so adept at blowing smoke up peoples' asses, he'll make you think you're a tuba!

OK then, tomfromhull- good to have another '05 from these parts. and a good sense of humor too. FYI, the '05 can take a severe amount of electrical farkling and still be 100% rock solid in the reliability department. You'll eventually discover your little wiring gremlins and get them staightened out and be out tearing up NE roads with the best color FJR.

Sorry that may not make sense- the kids have been decorating the tree tonight and I've been dispensing yuletide advice- powered by cheap cabernet!

Why do you think he invented and marketed the Anus Shaver. Mizz Bust hates it when Bust comes home with hair in his teeth.

Cheap Cabernet FJReady? I hope your not telling them how to wire the tree. I rode home tonight and got a little smell when I started it. I wonder if maybe there's something on an exhaust pipe that's cooking up. I'll take a look when the sun's out. Until then I'll keep riding. 35 degrees ain't that bad.

I had slight coolant leak that smelled like burnt wiring.
