Separating the MEN from the boys (carb)

Summer's Eve....

Hi,

Mr. teddux contacted me and we've shared a couple of PMs about what he may have to offer the community. He may be a bit eccentric but basically a reasonable sort. It seems we (Mr. teddux and us forum members) may have gotten off on the wrong foot. Why don't we try to get to know each other a little better? Someone a lot smarter than I once said "Seek first to understand, then to be understood."

What do you say guys? What do you say Mr. teddux?


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I will stay a little boy I think... A little boy with 2 perfectly running highly modified motorcycles

I must say you are a strange guy but if you can work out an ignitor & are willing to let others have the recipe I am sure it will be much appreciated.

How do you cope with the later years where the advance curve is electronic rather than mechanical? They are the ones that are hardest to replace.

I don't like to ignore people like this. It ruins hours of fun.

WOW...I just tuned in this morning and it seems as though I may have missed a thread or six, not to mention a post or two.

Josh, you're correct. Carb tuning is as much an art form as it is a lesson in science and factory spec.

I'm not sure if he determined the "Who-is-Who" as far as carbs are concerned but I'd be happy to show him a collection of 50+ jets, neatly packed and numbered that fit the many Holley carbs that I've run over the years. Brought them with to the tracks every night. You know how Minnesota can be in the summer time...95 degrees and 10% humidity one night and 50 degrees and with 90% humidity, the next.

It does make a difference, a very notable one, at that...

The stock cv carb NEEDLE is virtually STRAIGHT compared to a slide carb. Adjusting it is senseless and mere LUCK if at all semi-successful.

You have made it pretty apparent you either have NO experience tuning stock needles or just don't know what you are doing because I have made MANY bikes run great with stock needles on modified bikes! Come here with useful info & comments or go back to where ever it is you came from & stay there please. Don't try to insult those of us that have experience you don't. Ray.

Worthless trolls should be ignored, not fed....

Griffin is right!!!

Please everyone, let this thread die. No more responses (yes, I get the last word). I'm pretty sure ted is being at least partially misunderstood so no more piling on please.

What do you say guys?

The only thing he can offer this community, is to be a member who has respect for other members as we ARE REQUIRED TO DO.

respect doesn't include the power trip He is trying to use, nor does it include any "offer to the community" which on it's surface still appears to be a power trip. what product or knowledge He has can be shared, sold or neither, that's entirely up to Him. it doesn't matter to most people on this board if "anyone" has even the slightest bit of helpful information or a full blown replacement for the later ignitors, all members are considered equal. most of the members on this board will go to almost any length to help each other expecting nothing in return. but it sure makes it difficult to help others when someone gets their kicks out of playing some kind of game.

as I see it, the only thing he can offer is respect towards others and up to this point I still haven't seen it.

He has my forgiveness and I pray I have his.

the ball is now in his court.
