STABIL ???? read the back of your seafoam can !!! when i pickle generators for my customers for the off season , i pull the fuel line from the gas tank , stick it in a can of seafoam and run the engine until it blows white smoke , turn off engine reinstall fuel line , put the rest of the can in the gas tank [ at least 2 oz. per gal. ] if it is water cooled , drain and flush , here we only use 50/50 antifreeze , remove the battery , if you do not remove the battery , remove the neg cable , change the oil .

my # 2 has been driving me nuts , for no reason i would lose it and than it would come back it even backfired a couple of time , i did everything i learned on this site but rebuild the the carbs , the #2 spark plug would sometimes be black . when i syn. my carbs. it syn.ed out good . any way to cut this short , i found a split under the clamp on the back side of the vac. hose going from #2 carb to the cruise control , i cut off a 1/2 in. got all 4 back ! i am putting all new vac. line on this week and hopefully that will allso fix my dropping cruise control ? -

the strobe i used in the headlite is from autozone - pilot ip-400 14.95 and for the brakes pilot - wi-101w . 24.95 maybe you can see 1 of the strobes in the bottom left side , it is hard to see . the control box is stored behind the headlite . i just drilled 2 holes in the bottom of the headlite bucket and glued the strobes in with clear r t v . for the brake lites i removed 1 bulb form 2 of my running lites and put a strobe in it place , the strobe comes with sticky tape on the back , just peel and stick , the last 2 i stuck under the to tail lite bulbs in the tail lite . by the way these lites are all randya,s fault:rasberry: i do not take the blame i just copyed his :confused24:but for the money saved , i got my new bars and a lot more stuff:cool10: less than 50 bucks for front and brake strobes :cool10: -

i guess nobody here has run a straight alcohol motor before ,one of the 1st things you do is ream out the jets , the biggest problem alcohol motors is that they run to lean . alcohol fires to fast so the cylinder runs dry before the piston gets to the bottom of the stroke . alcohol has a fast burn time and a small expansion witch is good for a short stroke engine , gas has a long burn time and long and large expansion , witch is good for long stroke engines [ us ] it is why small motor do good in Ca. but a 440 can't get out of it own way , ok i don't teach school no more , it been 35 years .:bang head::rotfl:

i use the strobe sys. that randya uses , autozone 14.95 . 2 small strobes in the head lite bucket , draws very little power , i also use a small sw. with a blue lite in it , mounted on the key bizal , when it starts to get dark the windshield turns blue never forgot to turn it off . i have stopped using my driving lite and high beams during the day ,don't have to charge bat. as much anymore . the local leo's even like it ! -
i wish 10 in. tires where sold more up here , they are very rare up here . that disc brake sys. sounds great , what brand , size ? how about doing a write up and pics ?
