Does it work with the guns we have? Is it more or less aggressive than the garnet I currently use?

Speaking of paint stripping, the oil tank had oozed quite a bit it seems and the leaking oil combined with dust and dirt created an incredibly tough layer of crud on the underside of the frame and the outside of the transmission housing. I had to use two applications of aircraft paint stripper to ge...

i too am interested in an inexpensive blaster.

It works great. The issue is having a compressor with enough umph to run it for any appreciable amount of time.

what kind of sand blaster are you using? I'm thinking of building my own cabinet for sandblasting. This is the gun I have- http://www.tractorsupply.com/tools/sandblasting-tools-accessories/sandblast-gun-with-hose-3434614 and this is the material I use- http://www.tractorsupply.com/tools/sandblastin...

This will be a journal tracking what I hope to be a unique scooter when I am done with it. The starter bike is a 1984 Honda Aero 80 that is not in the best of condition- http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/GIJoeBob/Speeder%20Bike/HPIM3405.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/GIJoeBob/Speede...

It's not half as good a site as this one, but the only one devoted to those bikes.

Here is the meat and potato section of expressly mopeds-

I think it's expresslyhonda.yuku.com and I went through a bunch of work to get registered over there only to find out there is almost no content. I have better luck here so I stay here. I'm collecting parts to restore a GREEN 78 express . This site needs an NC50 section. I don't know about an Expre...

Lemme know what you find. I have two myself that need work.

Those colors look great sugarshane. Good job!

I revisted the bike this weekend and figured it out. There is a plastic bushing that fits between the intake tube and the throat of the carb that was not seated all the way that was making the bike run lean. I fixed that and ran the bike around the yard and churned up dirt and grass much to the deli...

air leak elsewhere. are you certain that the slide is in correctly? can you see it moving up/down from the back of the carb? intake manifold cracked? squirt with WD /brake cleaner while running and see if it changes revs. weather strip cement will seal it from the outside. allow to dry... leaking c...

I have a 1975 TY80 (two stroke trials bike) my 8 year old rides. It started having issues (not getting fuel) so I rebuilt the carb. After putting it back on it starts up great but immediately revs to a very high rpm like the throttle is being held wide open. As far as I can tell the carb slide and c...

through in my 2 cent i just cant figure out what grammer has to do with the way a rench is turned? i am not a good speller or writer of the english language and got into a few exchange of nasty words in a previous post. as long as it gets the point acrost i think it should fly. :b2t: but im getting...

There are some real good ones in there but not enough Hondas.
