nice design.. smooth edges so easy to hold and won't cut the material.. Fits the groove perfectly.. Good find

What's a Sirius? I thought it was a satellite radio receiver.

Guitar picks worked really well and made the engine sound great!

It's an obsolete item that only first gens. had. To make the rider think they were going faster than a second gen. Royal Star Venture!

...but ya gotta admit... It sounded good, though!

Too technical for me, I'll ask someone else.

See once again 2nd genners have that all bassakwards. Siriusxm is a radio system that can be added to a 1st gen to entertain us while we are waiting for the 2nd gens to catch up.

 

On the other hand, Sirius Consolidated Inc is a maker of replacement diaphragms.

 

That "tool" looks a lot like @skydoc_17 special thumb nail that is kept trimmed (or worn) looking just like that for the purpose of replacing diaphragms.

I used to have a bunch of those special tools back when I was much younger and had delusions of having talent.

Are you referring to the shape or the color?

Hey Yamagrl,

That guitar pick idea is VERY clever! The special "thumbnail tool" That Flyinfool is talking about is posted in the First Gen. Tech Section for the install of the Sirius Carb. Diaphragms.

Not everyone has the thumbnail tool, but the pick would be an excellent replacement for that tool. A wittled down popcycle stick also works very well. Don't use anything metal, it will cut the inner lip of the new Diaphragm you are trying to install.

I used a harbor freight gift card. Rounded edges & plastic, and right there in my wallet.

 

Don't have a guitar so no guitar pick. Drumsticks are too thick, unless I whittled one down...
