    What is that rifle????

    BTW molybdenum disulphide attacks copper, which is an ingredient in some clutch friction materials.......

    Does the bulb that came out of the assembly have any nubers on it??? They might be on the glass or on the base.

    Thanks for the reminder from Jerry (Motorman) Palladino. Four great points to help us control our machines at a higher skill level!!!!! I have seen a lot of "duck walkers" on bikes as well as mopeds lately, or maybe I did not notice them until I saw Ride Like A Pro to learn that it was a bad habit!!!!

    Sorry, I am used to a kitebuilders fourm that allows me to put in code that makes the images clickable to a URL, but this fourm does not support... I fixed my first post and if you click HERE you will go to their store.

    I was in a ship that ran into THAT cairer (it looks like the USS Roosevelt to me), and NO I WAS NOT DRIVING. I hope you have better luck with your carrier.

    I too thought they were out of production due to some EPA regulation, but I used about 400 different Internet searches till I found them. Just click on the photo of my first post in this thread. they are INEXPENSIVE compared to the other options and they will not go out of adjustment. Buy em before they run out. But do be careful with handling and storage of them.

    Click HERE for that thread. I used very little, like the size of a pea, or about 1/4 teaspoon.... you dont need much.

    It depends on what year the bike was made in.

    I think it is quite possible, but not very probable. You would have to multiply it by the universal constant of 42 to get an answer though. this number is provided by Deep Thought the second most powerful supercomputer ever built. BTW, DON'T PANIC This is the largest, friendliest letters I could post.

    AFAIK Honda Moly77 is out of production. HOWEVER there is another 77% moly grease on the market. Dow sells Molykote® M-77 and I would BET that Honda Moly77 is just repackaged Molykote® M-77. I used Molykote® M-77 when I was in the US Navy to grease the gear train on a firecontrol RADAR that had almost zero backlash. HIGH pressure and they wanted HIGH lubricity to lengthen the service life of the expensive gears. Oh and according to Dow's website the shelf life is only 1080 Days

    I have a Local CAR tire shop mounts motorcycle tires for $15 each. Balances for $8 more.

    A lot of us here use Shell Rotella T synthetic 5W-40 oil in our bikes. It costs a lot less than most other synthetic oils as we pick it up at Wall-Mart in the one gallon jug. It costs just a little less than $20 it is compatible with the wet clutch. It is in the blue jug NOT the white jug http://www.truckinginfo.com/images/news/Shell-RotellaSynthetic5W40.jpg The white jug is Dyno oil based. http://www.thelauders.com/Gilco2/images/shell_rotella15w40.jpg

    YES!!! Click on the photo of the four channel mercury manometer in my first post.
  17. KiteSquid
    Nope, but it is a 59 year old bike... Oh, the potential rider has to start it without any coaching on my part..... Kick start, tank shift, foot clutch is a little difficult for some... Oh, there is one sweet spot on the enriching to get it to fire..... Better watch the timing (adjusted by twisting the left hand grip) or it might throw you over the handlebars................BEFORE you kick it for the first time! Actually I should sell the bike, but I really don't want to, as how often do you find a 1950 bike from any manufacture for sale??? it would be hard to replace.

    I am to far away to attend, but if you do attend, PLEASE post something that you learned to this tread!!!!!!! Also, did you view the Ride Like a Pro DVD before attending the class? If not, did you buy a copy for refresher purposes?

    So Squeeze, what tool do you use?????
  20. KiteSquid
    They probably don't have any. I got mine at my local NAPA but they had to order it.... they don't sell many. Search the Internet. IIRC Harbor Freight carries a digital one for $5, if there is a store near you.

    All of the motorcycles I have ever purchased, I did not test ride beforehand. only one was new. That said, If you want to test ride the 1950 H-D FL I have for sale, it will cost you rental fee of $19,500. Then if you want to buy it, I will sell you the bike for $500. What a deal!!!!!! BUT if you want to buy it without a test ride, the cost is $17,500 in cash.

    TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The problem with that type of system is they only show the difference between the channels not the actual vacuum on each carburetor independently. The Mercury and murcery replacement manometers like the Motion Pro SyncPRO and the Mercury carb sticks will always show true vacuum, until the earth's gravity changes. The problem with moving a one or two channel indicator between cylinders is your operating conditions will not be the same as when you ran it before, they will be similar, but not identical. This adds a chance for an error to enter the process. I am still convinced the four channel mercury manometer is the best value with the highest accuracy without the possibility of going out of calibration, until the earth's gravity changes.

    AFAIK there are four affordable (Under $100) carb sync tools on the market for four cylinder motorcycles. The Morgan Carbtue which uses stainless steel rods do indicate vacuum levels about £55 (aprox US$82) or £62 (aprox US$92) with a tool pouch (Mechanical) http://www.carbtune.co.uk/Images/SSL11411SC.jpg Emgo Gauge Set which uses four vacuum gauges to indicate vacuum levels about $70 (Mechanical) http://www.denniskirk.com/denniskirk/b2c/product_images/3/8/0/600pix/38040005.jpg Motion Pro SyncPRO which uses "New mercury-free design uses non toxic manometer fluid" (Liquid) about $100.00 http://www.motionpro.com/images/enlarged/08-0411.jpg And my personal choice the mercury manometer (AKA mercury Carb Sick) that costs about $55 and will NEVER go out of adjustment, however the mercury is not a nice substance to have around your home... and to transport it you need to drain it. (Liquid) http://www.saber-cycle.com/store/media/parts/08-010.jpg CLICK HERE TO BUY ONE if they still exist Does anybody know of any other affordable (under $100) for the home mechanic Carburetor Synchronizer tools that are on the market???????
