Put a few drops of fuel in before replacing the plug...forgot to put the plug wire back on and kicked it over a few times and then once I realized the plug wire was off and put it on...it ran for a secon...

Re: where to buy bearings and seals?

Got mine for the Aero and Dio from the same cyclepartswharehouse, shipping time is the biggest bummer. I called and talked to a real live person there even and found out they order direct from Honda and don't actually "wharehouse" anything. So if time is important go straight to the sourc...

Re: any small block Chevy guys here?

if you have lots of corn around... you can run ethanol. I wouldn't ever buy any E85 as you can't get a good enough price break on it ever but if you get your EtOH for free then that is a different story.

Re: baby blue 72

Big carbs with low air flow thru them tend to need bigger jets because the low air velocity thru the venturi tends to not pull fuel like it does with and appropriately sized carb to engine choice. Too much carb causes poor low end and mediocre mid-range engine performance. Over carburation is the b...

Re: 2001 Elite S

From what I see, both bearings on a crank. sound like the cases had lots of miles. the crank bearings need to be tight into both crank case. if bearings dont hold good on case, then ,need to get another crank cases. This is true it has 8000+ and they look spun. I am not getting another case... can ...

Re: 2001 Elite S

Greetings: I have the bearing separator shown above. The price is considerably less than a good one from Snap-On. That's because it isn't a good one... It needs a lot of work to get it to "bite" under the bearing. The edges are very blunt and it tends just to crush the outer race rather t...

Re: baby blue 72

funny that it ran before but with same plug. so the gap HAS to be checked with a feeler gauge or something right? to bad i dont have that or a new plug. autozone sells sh*tty ones for very cheap.. they are by the check out. not the most accurate but they are close. and there is a easy way to tell i...
