SPARKY’S PLUG
by Ron Spargo
In the March newsletter I was complaining that I really wanted to get out and ride.
It seemed that our Minnesota winter was never going to end. Well, here we are in June
and the winter has ended (but not without one last shot of snow in May) and the riding
season is in full swing. The riding has been great and we have already had several great
riding and show events.
By the time you read this the Viking Chapter National Meet at the Minnesota State
fairgrounds will be only a week or so (June 14-15) away. This year’s event promises to
be the largest and best National Meet the Viking Chapter has put on – ever! For those
of you who are new to the Viking Chapter or for those of you who have not been able to
attended this event I invite you to come see and participate in the best antique / vintage
motorcycle event in the Midwest. Shine up your favorite old (35 years or older) ride and
bring it to the fairgrounds for everyone to enjoy. It doesn’t have to be a restored or show
bike. While there are many restored and show quality bikes in the show most of them
are everyday rides and we want to see them there. This event is about old bikes – including yours! As an added bonus the Viking Chapter has invited the Vintage Japanese
Motorcycle Club to hold their annual show and meet along with our show and meet.
Both events will be held in the Progress Building near the water tower on the north end
of the fairgrounds. The VJMC members turn out some outstanding machines that will
be a great addition to the event. We are also trying to get a few other clubs to bring out
their best but at this writing nothing has been confirmed. You’ll just have to show up
and see what is there. As usual, we welcome all the help we can get to take a shift at the
gate, meet folks or be available to answer questions and promote the club. You too can
wear an orange vest and look official. If you want to be a part of this event call Sean
O’Neil @ 612-508-4855.
Check out the event schedule in this issue and mark your calendars. If you need
additional information or have questions about a particular event contact any officer or
board member and they will be able to provide the information you need.
One event that I would like to bring to everyone’s attention is the August picnic
at Firemen’s Park in Chaska. The club provides most of the food including the beverages, corn on the cob, chicken, burgers and dogs expertly prepared by our own Jerry
Richards. Club members will receive a post card or e-mail with suggestions of what
they can bring to complete the meal. The club motto “Ride To Eat – Eat To Ride” is
certainly true for this event. No one has ever left hungry!
I mention this event specifically because it is also the general meeting where we request nominations for club officers whose terms will be expiring at the end of the year.
If you have ever thought it would be fun to be more active in the operation of the club
or would like to nominate a fellow member for a club position, this is your chance to
become more involved in your club. If you are thinking about it but have questions, call
any of the club officers or board members. It doesn’t require much time or effort and I
think you may enjoy it. Don’t just stand there watching the bikes ride by. Get involved!
It’s your club.
Now let’s go ride!

Vacancy on the Board
We’d like to say THANK YOU to outgoing Secretaries
Deb George and Jim Petsch for all of their hard work over the
last two years in the shared role as Secretary on the Viking
Chapter Board of Directors. Recently elected for another two
year term starting last month, this dynamic duo has opted
to venture off, thus creating an open position on the Chapter
Board. In addition to helping keep the club and club events
working smoothly, this position requires attendance at our
monthly Board Meetings to take minutes of the meeting.
Kathi Rimnac has volunteered to fill this void until someone
steps up. Please, get involved and help your club - Step Up!
We’ll be having our annual Sturgis Get-Together again
this year at the cabin. This is always a good turnout for
Viking Chapter and other AMCA members that are in the
area for the Black Hills Motor Classic. This year’s date is
Monday, August 5 from 12:00 noon until 6:00 p.m. Chili
and beverages provided. So motor over to 21432 U.S. Highway 85 South near Lead, SD (605-584-9082). The cabin is
.09 of a mile southwest of Cheyenne Crossing Restaurant
(intersection of U.S. Highway 85 South in Spearfish Canyon). Look for the slow moving triangle sign at Fire Marker
21432.

MidAmerica Spring Auction
2013 Donnie Smith Show Report
by Jerry Richards & Trudi Johnson-Richards
by Sean O’Neil
Viking Chapter members volunteered at the MidAmerica
25th Annual Motorcycle Auction on Saturday, April 27, 2013
in the Progress Center Building, Minnesota State Fairgrounds, St. Paul, Minnesota. Members handled vintage motorcycles for sale: Tom Broich, Steve Clough, Dave Glennen,
Gene Hostetler, Mark Jilk, Stan Mewhorter, Doug Nelson,
Dan “Doc” Nylen, Kerry Rasmussen, Roger Rimnac and
Jerry Richards. Kathi Rimnac, Secretary and Membership
Chair signed up new memberships. Trudi Johnson-Richards
assisted.
Ron Christianson generously offered to pay half of
all new membership fees for the Viking Chapter ($15) and
AMCA National ($30). Viking and AMCA National now have
11 new members. In addition, Viking receives a contribution
for assisting at the auction. Thank you to Ron and Sandy and
the volunteers who made this auction a success.
Despite the unseasonably cold and crappy weather, the Viking club came through with another amazing display at the
Donnie Smith show. With a lot of guys still snowed in, Stan
Mewhorter and Ivar Natins came through big time and helped
haul bikes for other club members. Our display spot was
the same primo spot as last year which prominently showed
off club’s unique mix of machines. Ron Christenson came
through in a pinch and contributed two bikes to help fill in
for last minute cancellations. Special thanks to everyone that
showed their bike and volunteered at the booth:

Club Spring Ride Report
The Annual Spring Ride was rescheduled due to “SNOW”
to Saturday May 25th. Led by Doug Nelson and his partner
in crime Dianne, nine of us headed off on a cool and cloudy
day along the Mississippi River Valley. The weather did not
have a negative impact at all. We had our fill of some perfect
alphabet roads in WI, good food, and good times. The late
Spring/Summer did provide us with a tasty surprise. Seems
the Morel Mushroom harvest in the Stockholm area was just
getting started and the group rode off with no less than six
bags of these awesome little fungi.

FREE ADMISSION TO THE NATIONAL MEET FOR MEMBERS
Although we’d love to think that all members can recognize all other members, in order to get you quickly and easily
through the gate, cut out and bring this fancy-schmancy
ticket to whisk you quickly past our crack-security team. But
don’t worry if you forget to bring the pass. The membership
rolls will be at the show and you can easily check in once
you get there. Just say you’re a member and proceed to the
registration desk.
One of the new benefits you got with the increase in
yearly chapter dues from $12 to $15 this year, all Viking
Members (and their spouses if they have a joint membership)
will get into the National Meet for free. This change was primarily made to shift revenue away from the Meet and to segregate revenue we gather from members apart from revenue
gathered from non-members. This helps immensely with our
non-profit tax status. It also is a great way to encourage all
members to attend the meet.

New Book:
RIDE MINNESOTA
It’s spring! (I think) and I’d like to
tell you about a book I’ve just published.
My husband and I have spent the
last two summers riding some of Minnesota’s most scenic highways on our
2002 Victory cruiser. The result is Ride
Minnesota: 23 Great Motorcycle Rides in
the North Star State. I’ve packed as much
motorcycling information as I could into
this 196-page book, including route descriptions, road conditions, maps, photos
(some of them taken from the back of the
bike) and recommendations on places to
eat, visit or sleep. It’ just 6” x 9”, so it fits
easily in a saddle bag.
Looking for a biker bar in Brownsville? Or the road conditions along the
Minnesota River Valley Scenic Byway?
It’s covered in Ride Minnesota.
The book is only $10, and it would
make a great Mother’s Day gift for a motorcycle mama. You can order it directly
from me. Just send an e-mail to me at
the address below. (Add $3.80 for shipping.) Or, you can order it from Amazon.
com. I’d be happy to put together a group
order, too. Just ask!
Thanks for your time. Let’s get out
and Ride Minnesota!

Them are Good Carbs - part 2
by Mike Brown (reprinted from Walneck’s Cycle Trader® - May 2006)
(continued from the March 2013 Re-Cycle)
If it passes the screw test it’s time
to take the carburetor apart, paying
close attention to the float bowl and the
base of the carburetor that fits on top.
If opening up the carburetor reveals
a plethora of fine white powder, yer
sunk mate, this is terminal cancer
to a carburetor. What you’re looking at is extreme corrosion, generally
caused by water getting inside of the
body. Not only are the passages most
likely blocked; they will also be pitted,
something we can’t effectively remedy.
Even cleaned out, the pitting will cause
running problems. Junk the carburetor
body, but save everything else, as many
other parts may be perfectly serviceable.
This hole, the fuel intake for the pilot
system, may or may not have a jet screwed
into it. Watch this carefully when testing,
as you should get a good shot of fluid out
of this hole. If only a dribble or nothing
comes out, you have a blocked or partially
blocked pilot system.
If you find no abundance of white
powder and a serviceable’ air-adjustment system, it’s highly likely you can
now bring this critter back to good
functioning form, although there are
other maladies that often need attention
beyond the pilot system. The most common problems here are slide/body wear
and flange distortion, but these are also
correctable.
Excessive slide/body clearance will
require, specialist work though, while
fixing a warped flange can be accom-
plished with a flat piece of glass with
a sheet of 600 grit sandpaper glued on
it. Use WD 40 as a lubricant and sand
the flange in circular motions until it’s
perfectly flat and able to hold a seal
without leaking air.
Use a thick piece of glass with 600 grit
sandpaper glued onto it as a cutting tool
to make a perfectly flat flange surface.
Move the carburetor in circles and check
frequently. Warped flanges on Amal carburetors are as common as Lucas jokes
and cause just us many problems.
Pilot to Ground Control
OK, now we need to strip the carburetor body and test the pilot system
for proper flow. For this test you need a
can of either carburetor cleaner or WD
40 both of which should come with a
thin plastic hose attachment.
Remove the air screw completely
and insert the plastic tube firmly in its
place. With your other hand, block the
same hole on the outside of the carburetor mouth you did to check the air
system. Now squirt the fluid and watch
what happens.
If all’s well you should get fluid
out of three places, two are inside
the carburetor, one just inside of the
spot where the slide runs and one just
outside of it. These are called the pilot
bypass and pilot outlet, respectively.
These two inside holes are very
tiny, but they are most commonly free
and working. The same is most definitely not true for the little threaded hole
in the carburetor base, the pilot fuel
intake which may or may not have a jet
6
screwed into it.
Regardless of internal or external
jet, you should get a decent amount of
fluid out of this opening. If you only
get a tiny dribble, or none at all, you’ve
got a blocked or partially blocked pilot
system. The good news is that this is
very fixable.
Check the air adjustment screw as explained in the text and remove it for testing the pilot system.
Our first step is to tank the bare
carburetor body in a can of commercial
carburetor cleaner. This is an extremely
nasty concoction of hazardous, carcinogenic chemicals, so dangerous that it’s
unavailable in some areas.
Seriously, chemical carburetor dip
tanks work wonders, but only use one
in a very well ventilated area and keep
the stuff off of your hands. Several
companies make special rubber gloves
for this sort of work too.
Dip the carburetor body and other
parts in the tank and let it sit a good
spell. Directions often say for only 30
minutes, but overnight is often required, and I’ve forgotten parts for days
to no apparent disadvantage. Generally,
this won’t free up a stuck pilot system
on its own, but it will soften up most
obstructions so that we can work ‘em
out one way or another. If you can’t get
the nasty stuff, lacquer thinner is an acceptable, although inferior substitute.
Rinse the carburetor parts thoroughly in cold water after the tank dip
to remove as much left over cleaner as
Them are Good Carbs - part 2 (continued)
possible. Spray the body and passages
with WD 40 afterwards to remove any
leftover water and to prevent corrosion.
For all of this, wear a good set of
safety goggles as carb cleaner in the eye
can be very painful.
To blowout the carburetor passages,
use an attachment similar to the one
pictured with at least 50 PSI of pressure and repeat what you did for the
spay test, blocking the outside hole as
you apply air pressure. Now retest with
spray. Sometimes now all’s well, but
often it ain’t. So now we go to step two.
Locate a piece of multi-strand copper wire, about 14 gauge, strip a section, and pull off a single strand of wire.
Measure various pieces of wire strands
until you find a single strand that measures close to .014, just a little smaller
than the standard pilot jet opening.
Ignore all the warnings you’ve
heard about putting anything into a jet
now because this really works well and
isn’t likely to damage the jet because of
the relative softness of the thin strand
of copper. This is also why we had to
soften up the obstruction first.
To make a pilot jet cleaning tool, first
strip a piece of wire, about 14 gauge, and
measure a strand with a caliper. You need
a piece about .014 in diameter.
Insert the piece of wire into the air
screw hole and keep poking until the
wire goes completely through the jet.
You can tell when it does by how far it
goes intO the carburetor body. Once it’s
through the jet, turn the wire around a
bit like a drain snake and then blowout
the jet and passage first with a spray
of aerosol carburetor cleaner and then
compressed air. Retest now. Most often
this does the trick, but there are harder
cases.
After cleaning out the factory plugged
passageway, you’ll have to again block
it off. A small allen setscrew works great
for this job, and allows for future access if
ever needed. If this isn’t a concern and an
ultra permanent plug is desired, just use a
high grade thread locker when installing.
With a real toughie, you might have
to use a very fine drill bit and a drill
press with the carburetor firmly secured
to the press base. Line the passage up
very carefully as this time it’s very easy
to go wrong and do irreparable damage. You’ll need a tiny #78 drill bit,
and don’t expect to find one down at
the hardware store. Try a specialty tool
house.
Another similar but easier option
is drill out the jet entirely. In that case,
you will need to install a new external
jet. This is very easy because even
carburetors made .with internal jets
retrained the threads for the former jet.
Just screw one in and you’re done.
Sometimes even after freeing the
jet, you still can’t get the system to flow
properly. At this juncture it’s time to
suspect the passage behind the jet is
full of gunk. Also, if you do free up
the system and it runs fine at first, but
later begins acting up again, suspect the
passage behind the jet after ruling out
contamination from something like a
rusty fuel system.
The passage referred to here is the
one behind the tiny silver colored plug
on the rim of the carburetor intake. I
7
read somewhere this can be removed
using a tiny drill bit and easy out, leaving the plug useable for reinsertion after
cleaning. I never could get this to work
well, and also don’t trust reinstalling a
part that is just a simple interference fit.
Here’s abetter way, one that will leave
you with easy access years down the
road if ever faced with another cleaning
job.
Here’s what you’ll need to open and close
the blocked off pilot jet passageway, a
9/64” drill bit, 10/24 tap and matching
allen setscrew.
Take a 9/64” drill bit that is just
slightly smaller than the passageway diameter and line it up centered with the
carburetor plug. Be sure the carburetor
body is. well secured to the drill press
base. Drill out the plug; it will generally
come loose and spin on the bit once it’s
pierced. Now you can thoroughly clean
out the passageway and then blowout
remaining debris with both air and carburetor cleaner. Next, use a 10/24 tap to
thread the opening about 1/4 inch into
the passage and fit a matched allen head
setscrew. That’s it!
May all your carburetors carb, your
generators gen, and your pistons... oh
never mind.

Wanted:
I am looking to publish a collection of
handy fixes for riders.. I am collecting,
old fixes or things that you/or someone
you personally knew did, make shift fixes,
practical/space saving stuff other good low
tech bodges that are now beginning to be
lost and forgotten. In particular, road side
repairs, and tips for traveling, things you
know or were passed down by older riders
of your youth. Any pictures, or drawing
welcomed. Please include your name and
contact info. Right now the topics include
bike repairs/tools/and camping. Thanks!
Tim okeeffetim@hotmail.com
Wanted:
The club is in need of an outside parking /
storage space for the club trailer. The trailer
is a 6x14 tandem axle enclosed trailer the
club uses for storage of show and meet
items. It usually only gets pulled out once
a year at National Meet time and spends
a few days at the fairgrounds. Otherwise
it just sits quietly. It is not necessary to be
able to move or tow the trailer. If you can
provide such a space please call Ron Spargo
