Update: I got it figured out thanks to you guys. I’m a dummy sometimes. I can safely close the vapor service valve at the tank, connect my long hose and burner and crack the valve a tiny bit and flare off the contents of the tank. All without blowing anything up. Shoutout to you crazy guys answering stupid questions in the middle of the night. You guys rock!!!

Ok. I’m in a pickle. I have an RV with a stuck solenoid plunger and a full tank of propane. I have removed the solenoid coil and tried tapping on the body of the valve, magnets…no change, plunger stuck closed. I have called every single propane supplier and rv shop in a 40 mile radius to see if they will pump the system out but no one will. I cannot change the valve without emptying the tank and I don’t want to empty it by the vent valve for safety reasons. I’m looking for the connector that is used to fill the pictured fitting. It’s 1-3/4” acme thread. My plan is to get the connector and make a hose with regulator to safely flare off the contents of the full onboard tank using a large propane burner I have on hand. Can anyone send me a link or the specific name of the fitting I need? I’ve found the same type I need but not in 1-3/4”. Desperate, and don’t want to risk blowing anything up by venting using the bleeder.

Picked this up at an antique/junk shop the other day.

Hey guys and gals. A friend/client of mine brought his SV to me to fix his clutch issue and it looks like someone swapped the fairings out for the naked style headlights or maybe they just put clip-ons instead of the naked bars. Either way the clutch cable is too long and has snapped off the adjuster at the perch. It gets squished up between the headlight and the bracket. It appears the 90° in the cable end combined with the extra 3”-4” of length is the issue. Does anyone know if the S clutch cable would work here? Will it clear the bracket and not bind? Thanks for the help.

3rd year in the ground, upstate New York, amended the soil with black kow garden soil when planted. Full sunlight out in garden. Letting the rain water them, it has rained fairly regularly, soil at base is moist. No signs of insects. New spring leaves already dried and curling. Buds dried and brown. This makes me so sad. What am I not seeing?
