Where's the highly touted 800 number that was supposed to be manned 24/7 by english speaking persons? You know, the one that the tourism reps and the mayor of Rosarito alluded to in their recent counteroffensive on all the "unfair" press the area was getting in the US.

Al...

What's up? Are you having problems up there?

Al G - 2-6-2008 at 12:04 PM

Thanks.. Diane, very much appreciated...
Issues not serious, clutch fan for hill climbing not working correctly, so I bought a new one at Napa auto parts today. Will have it replaced some where in Ensenada or San Quintin...I am going to ask in a new thread. I have this bike, but I am so late now and my friends cannot change their departure time, I cannot stop in Bahia Asuncion:(:( I have to be there by the 10th...I feel really bad...

Hey,
We are more concerned with your mechanical problems! Bahia Asuncion and the bike club will still be there and we do hope you will visit in the future.

Hope you can get your RV fixed in Ensenada before the hills. Good luck, have a safe trip and stay in touch.

Al,
Isn't that the same problem you had last year when I saw you at the Serinidad? Hope you can get it fixed soon. Are you headed this way (Mulege)?

Al G - 2-6-2008 at 12:54 PM

Art...your right in a way, the clutch fan was kicking in and I thought it might have been the transmission...after a while I realized it was all working as it should. I am now aware it is not working...it was going bad then, I guess, as it was kicking in too much. Exhaust from a large truck would cause it to engage..:lol: Hopefully I can find someone in San Quintin to change it...only need it to climb hills. I may just remove my AC condenser too...have only turned it on once in 5 years:lol:

DENNIS - 2-6-2008 at 01:04 PM

Al....

If you have an idea what time you could be in Maneadero, I can meet you with my mechanic. He's good. He's better when he has a Pacifico drinking audience.

DENNIS - 2-6-2008 at 01:16 PM

Do you know where Costco Ensenada is? Their parking lot will be perfect.


Don't know what to tell you about San Quintin. I guess it will depend on the job.

Al G - 2-6-2008 at 01:20 PM

No...which side of town? oh I remember, south across from Wall Mart? East side of road? NO?

DENNIS - 2-6-2008 at 01:22 PM

Al G - 2-6-2008 at 01:27 PM

DENNIS - 2-6-2008 at 01:30 PM

Yes I plan on overnight the 9th, and will see your new owners...but without sail switch which is what I suspect is wrong, may only be able to advise...Maybe he/she is a quick learner and I could teach them how...after all this is not rocket mumbo jumbo.
Albert

capt. mike - 2-7-2008 at 06:23 AM

march 9th? or april? - or feb??

i don't get in for a few weeks.

he doesn't take over till April 1st and i head for the frozen tundra of WI.

BTW - any body monitoring here around WI? we can meet for beer and brots.

and he - new owner - lives in colo - will only be in baja about once a month or less - flies direct from Denver privately.

so - what's a "sail Switch"??

i can bring one down early mar when i arr.

Mike...I am leaving this AM be there 9th Feb.
A sail switch has a little flag that is moved in the exhaust of the blower that tell the brain that there is air so that it can spark the gas as it releases it...this switch sticks a lot, so the brain does not know if the blower is running.
You will need the make and model to get the switch.

shari - 2-7-2008 at 08:11 AM

Gosh Al...too bad about the issues but everything happens for a reason amigo...take heart...now, the bike...if you want, you can drop it off at Los Caracoles Hotel with Sirenita and someone from the bike club can pick it up in GN no problema or possibly someone could even meet you in Vizcaino at he gas station to pick it up....have a safe trip and see ya sometime!

capt. mike - 2-7-2008 at 01:19 PM

it can spark the gas as it releases it...this switch sticks a lot, so the brain does not know if the blower is running

ok - not sure if this relates to the problem or not - but what do i know??

it DOES ignite and blow heat fine, but the blower sometimes squeels when it runs, usually after it heats up.

well if you're around when i'm there we can look at it, if not another time.
thx Al
