Had to fly up to Connecticut and been there all week. I'm back!!! You miss me or what? A

Gonna start trimming the pile down. Got a frame, handle bars, maybe a couple A arms, tranny, left case, right case with small hole, wiring harness, a Keihin 34mm, some other crap too. Anybody got needs? Will trade or sell, will ship, too. Whole enchilada or or just one piece. No set prices...

It's drizzled every friggin' chance I get to go ride. Mother Nature sucks! Come on, spring!! A

Heres a before and after. Was '72 non hp with A/C and the crap cam. I Ported out the 906's and stuck some double springs on new valves, pretty nice cam, intake and a Holley to breathe through. This will be the first motor in the car and as time and money allow I have the '69 block in storage...

Packed 'em up and ready to ride!!

For starters here's the simple basics for getting the FIRST round of numbers for a motor. Bore= the simple diameter of the hole. Stroke= the distance the piston travels to it's highest point from it's lowest First note, again this is first round stupid simple stuff. Note that the only...

Me, momma and the boy were joined by our oldest child, who was home from college. She still smokes alot and the power was flaky. Oh well, back into it i go!! At the very end she does come up in third a little. Oh yea, and that's Wheelie Boy putting around, he is getting there. Actually did some...

Vito 240, Toomey B1, Keihin 34mm, open lid with a K&N Uni, Amsoil premix at stock (40-1) with pump gas (93) elevation under 4000 and temp 30-70F. My question is what is the set up? Main jet? Pilot? Needle most of all? Slide ( I got a 60 now and have 40)? Float height? and what about...

I imagine a few here have heard that you can stick a penny in the gears to keep them from turning as you loosen/tighten another to keep hands free. Sometimes the sh*t is REALLY, REALLY tight!!

Well, was out ridin' and noticed these nice little hole shots have removed any clearance I once had. Nice lower center of gravity, but any set of ruts is ride stopper. Anybody have good thoughts on this? Since most of the quads out there are bigger, wider axles and what not won't help. Seems...

Anyone have crafty ways of locking your ride? I have mine in the back of my P/U and think I will chain a compressor to it or lock onto a tie down while she sits in there. I've seen alot of cools ways of making it hard to snag an object. Who's got ideas? A

Warming up the Vito 240 through a Toomey B1. Warm Up

I just fired up Blaster #2 today. Has a 310 jet in the Mik 28mm. The rest is stock, well no lid, just a foamy. Barely smokes and runs like crazy. Sure would of thought that would be all but, too rich. Seems to be not the case. I'll play with the jets later, just wondering if anyone...

Was thinking about doing the frame in bed liner. Nice tough finish, easy to apply and touch up..... Don't look real purty, but, I'm not looking for a beauty queen, I want one that looks consistant and wears like all get out. A

Well, been running the thing without one, can't find one in any schematic or part log. I am used to there being a washer under the main jet. Many times it holds the plastic gig on. The Mik has one... Anybody have a washer on? Looks like that is a neat little diff. between carbs. Hmmmm...

Fired her up today, 1 kick, warmed up went to a nice idle. Ran up and down the street a couple times. Runs kinda eh, well crappy. Still some oil smoke. That and the putting oil from the case that increases with rpms has to be a seal. Might mean I have to paint thev frame after the engine...

I have oil burping from the crankcase breather tube. It's nice clean oil, but just puts at idle and puts faster when I gun it. I think I have more than recc. in it. Wondering if maybe I sucked a seal or something bad? Or is that what it;s for? A

Anyone else have to or want to bump up the spark plug heat range? I had a 6 laying around and it runs like an Etheopian chicken. Have not put it on the road, but, throttle respo. is superb! Anyway, just checking, being all aluminum I'll probably stick with the 8, but the 6 rocks! A

OK, had some questions about piston wear and I pretty much crushed some opinions. I want to show why what I believe is pretty much straight up. Soooo..... In the first two pics: You see a piston that has alot of use on the exhaust side. This is what all pistons should die from. It means...

Figured they may help others, too. 2 views of the Toomey flange hook up. If you send me pics I can do better in helping. Mine went together uber easy every time. A
