I usually gently roll the throttle in, when hot and it starts long before 1/2.

You got the job Bear! I crown you the new Court Jester! I still have tears coming out of my eyes from laughing so hard. I have ordered an extra portion of grool for you! Eat hardy and enjoy! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You will be the abused on. Sort of like this, http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r206/B...

Figures.. Thats what my Dad was thinking. Thanks for the info burnt toast. :wink: good luck, you need to find somewhere that has metric bolts. its like 1 x 6mm thread, 95mm longs, with a 10mm hex head. there is a place about 20 minutes from me that had like 24 in stock, only 50 cents each, but all ...

It doesnt shut off itself, it will run for as long as you need. Its just when I hit the kill switch, then it wont restart. The motor turns over fine, it doesnt even sound close to catching on and starting. Let the scooter cool and it will fire in seconds. The scooter runs great all the time, its ju...

I did find a 1/2 inch aluminum "tube" that is the same diameter as the oil pump. Any ideas on how to mount a tube to the aluminum plate? I think it would need to fit flush like the oil pump does. I've never seen an aluminum weld but think it might work just having it welded and grind the ...

Now that you mention it, I did see a flash of light just before its guts squirted out under my shoe. I thought it may have been a lightning bug but now I see it may have been that light saber you mentioned. HAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahahaha Take this http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r206/Bear-45-70/...

I went for a quick ride and couldn't notice a difference. But it is cool and wet out, actually a tornado just hit in Paw Paw which is close to me. It's been raining all day so I will have to test some other time. One thing I noticed was it runs really smooth now, i'm running 20:1. My mother-in-law ...

When it shuts off, will the starter turn the motor over? If it does then you either have a fuel feed problem or an ignition component getting hot and quit working. Get a peice of hose and by pass the petcock and any filter if there is one. Go straight from the tank to the carb and test run it. The e...

I like that one. Its just that your Knight looks like a bug I stepped on yesterday. Keep em coming. I'm starting to crack a smile. I'll bet that bug didn't breath real raspy like and carry a light lazer. But if you push to hard you could end up like orange hat here. http://i145.photobucket.com/albu...

The Spree is spec.ed at 180 pounds for max rider weight. But I rode mine when I weighed everywhere from 200 to 300 pounds. I haven't weighed less than 195 since high school. It just seems to bottom out the suspension if you aren't careful.

DL the service manual form the tech docs section and whip out your multimeter. I went and bought a multimeter as I didnt have one and have never used one and downloaded the Service manual and I honestly dont understand how I am suppossed to test it. Please enlighten me in laymens terms. Thank you O...

That was worth it just see another one of your cartoons. Hondaman needs a new court jester to entertain him. I think you will fit that opening perfectly. How can I be demoted from King First Class to jester by a mere Hondaman. My First Class Knight will not allow it, http://i145.photobucket.com/alb...

Expandable boat drain plug...not good idea. It soaked up ALOT of gas overnight and is very swollen. So I ended up filling the end of oil pump (gear removed) with the 2 part liquid JB-Weld, let it harden, drilled small hole in center of it and screwed a screw into it. Then I got the 2-part JB-Weld t...

I think that the bottom line is that 1) No one here has tried it before 2) We can't think of a compelling reason why it wouldn't work. I know no one tried it and that's why I brought it up. Since I plan on doing the SB 50 manifold mod, it was a viable option to premix or drilling and tapping the ma...

Why Bear 45-70 are you saying I was correct in telling him to check his plug wire? Why that would mean you have finally realized the greatness and superior knowledge of the all and powerful HONDAMAN! Yes you may kneel now and pay me homage! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA "I'd rather have a sister ...
