No inspections?
Aah the halcyon days of shoving any engine you could find into any frame it would fit into..

We can but dream Leigh...

[Leigh]

You mean dream like this?

[mindtrip]

You mean dream like this?

awesomely awesome.


@ ohsam:

I think we're gonna make the seat out of wood. I've seen some really nice tail and seat sections made out of finishing ply and expandable foam overlaid w fiberglass. Lucky for me I have all the wood working tools i need at my disposal.

[pete]

But is that a dream or a nightmare???!!!

I would imagine new undies would be required on a regular basis...

[oohsam]

LOL wat the hell!

Hahahahaha see what happens to your thread when you go off rally driving and leave it unattended?

How was the driving? That'd be a blast I reckon!

And have you got a pic with that seat on yet?

[Sci85]

Wicked cool. Love the imagination and creativity on that beast. Would love to see that thing fly down the quarter mile haha.

hahaha...
The driving was unreal. We were in a Magna rally version vehicle, was a small track but they really let you give it to it in the car.
We got some HD videos of the experience, so I'll put em up soon!

Would def do it again!!

Nah not yet, I've actually pulled my carbs apart pete, as I was having hanging idle issues, so they are soaking now in parts wash, and waiting for my rebuild kit to arrive (should be here tuesday or weds), then Ill put it all back and the seat will be ready by then!

Nah I called a few places they had none. Yamaha dealer said would take a few days to come in. So I went to bursons and bought 'parts cleaner' aka Carb wash 20 liters! Will see how it works.

20 litres!!?? What else are you gonna clean? Haha just kiddin... glad you found something

Is it supposed to be good for old gunked up carbs tho? Most stuff I found was just to weak and pathetic to do a good job and you need the real caustic bad-for-you stuff to do it right...

[Hoosier Daddy]

...boil in distilled water with lemon juice... really works for me.... just sayin.

It only came in 20 Litres so I had no choice :O
haha..
I'm sure i'll find a purpose for it somewhere else, always more things that need a cleanin!
Its spose to be really good for carbs and gummed up gunk. I think alot of places use it in the ultrasonic cleaners. Speaking of, I was looking at buying one (a small one) and do one carb body at a time. It only takes a good 5-10 mins in the ultrasonic. Watched some youtube vids on it. Looks the part.

Hey Hoosier,
I did lots of reading with the whole lemon juice thing. I noticed that the carb bodies go chalky afterwards and lots of ppl complained about it.
Not sure if the distilled water helps. Did you find this happend with yours?

Cheers

[Hoosier Daddy]

Not yet anyway... (?)

[pete]

The ultrasonic would be good actually, but doing carb parts you'd need a quality one I think rather than the plastic ones I've seen that are cheap...
