    I just took one of the OEMs and matched it up in stainless at ACE Hardware... Edit: And the ones I found were phillips. 'Bout $.40 cents each...

    Blip that throttle while you're parked, and you're gonna take a knock down........

    Ahhhh..... The peace maker... Geeze I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers...... Uhm...?? Yes I did...

    I don't know... I always thought it might be nice to see the clock and the odo at the same time.... Funny... So what you're saying is when I go to sync the carbs or set the idle, I don't need no tach to mess with my concentration?? Cutting off the heel pad is on the list....and Ponch is working on the center stand for me. I'm going to make this thing equal a 1stGen even if it kills me.... Knock on a big ol' wooden plank....

    Ebay will have mufflers listed from time to time. There are actually two different attachments for the 1stGen mufflers. 83-85 and 86-93. The early years can be adapted to the later, but not the reverse.

    The only way to appreciate a 1stGen is to buy a 2ndGen. Didn't realize what I had until I picked up the 2nd. Where's the tach?? You call that a gas guage.... Charge rate... what's that?? What time is it?? Toe down..heel up..toe down....heel up..yesch! Slow speeds...feet down. Now how can I adjust the grips?? What did they do with the center stand?? I'll keep riding it because I'm stubborn, and will finally get these short comings taken care of....., but I'll never again think about it being an upgrade.....

    Before buying any vac make sure it doesn't take one of those hepa filters. And if it does find out what the price of the replacement is.... Or maybe someone has already mentioned this... ??

    I think it's the best bang for the buck modification we can make. The second best would be the beefed up fork braces... Sorry for the cheap plug, but I still have left overs from the last group buy....

    Shop Vac for the dust bunnies.... Then you can reverse the hose and dry off the scoot....

    Thanks for the link Dave. I lost it during the HD crash, and had basically forgotten all about it. Going to do it to the '91 and the '99. How many other mods can you say will get your .30 cent investment back in the first gallon....

    OK, it looks like a previous owner got rid of the tank and went to mixed. We'll do the same..... Thanks for the help Monty....

    Know where that oil tank is located??
  17. Condor
    Not on this one Monte. The fuel is drawn directly into the cylinder thru the carb via a double reed valve thru a lower intake port which is exposed when the piston approaches BDC.. . The motor also has an oil pump. Why does it need an oil pump if the bottom end oil is only there as a bath to take care of the tranny and clutch??? EDIT... OK I read the wiki article on 2 strokes. The double reed makes sense in the moving picture. And apparently this thing may have an oil injected fuel system. AKA oil pump... There is a section that covers that kind of system. I had a Johnson 115hp VRO outboard once and even tho a lot of owners disconnected the oil injection, I didn't and it never failed me for a lot of years. I'm going to dig into this thing a little more to find out if this one has been removed or is still running. All I know at the present time it sure runs great with straight gas, but the exhaust tip is covered in oil.... Thanks for all the input.

    OK, I guess it's a mix, and the bottom end oil is only there to lube the clutch and tranny. I'll go with the 32:1 mix... quick.... before something burns up.....

    It a KD 80 Monte. Here's a pic of a sistership bike. Thanks for the info, and I'll take you up on that offer for the manual. LMK what the mailing cost is. What I'm having trouble with is in a mix engine, the oil is in there to lube the bottom end. The fuel actually enters the engine via the bottom end and then goes into the cylinder. On this thing it's carburated directly thru the reed into the cylinder. It doesn't lube a thing. That's why the first question. I don't want to burn anything up, but my brain is telling me that there is no need for oil in the gas. http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2009/11/13/bikepics-1828803-800.jpg

    You have a PM....

    Don't let them kid you Herb. A 2-gen ain't gonna be any different. I'm finding that one out. I've developed a new therory. If it has 2 wheels, it's a project....

    Are you taking the bikes off the ferry when you get to Juneau?? It's a water access only town, but thought it wouild be cool to wander around on a bike, and then hop back on a ferry. Sort of 'town hop' up the coast. Skagway I think is the only town with access to the AlCan if you want to go into the Yukon.

    My grandson picked up a Kawi 1980 kd80 non-runer. Kinda proud of him as it now screams like a banchee. The question I have is.... it's a 2-cycle with an oil reserve crankcase like a 4-cycle... does it need a gas/oil mix, or use straight gas?? All my experience with 2-cycles deals with a mix engine...
  24. Condor
    Hmmm... One Carbtune and three wrestling over it so far. For those of you who lost out read this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=48861 Buy a new one....

    As long as you have to replace the bleeders why not go this direction. 8125L is the stock number you need. 4 total. 3 for the brakes and one for the clutch slave... http://www.speedbleeder.com/
