Carburetor Restortation/Rebuilders???

[blake_hughes]

Anyone know a good mechanic who can restore/rebuild old carbs... I have a 86 Yamaha BigWheel 200 with a gummed up carb. I'm soaking it in cleaner, but I'm thinking it's going to take more than that (possible bad o-rings/incorrect settings).

Anybody know someone locally who could tackle something like this? I'd rather not send it to the dealerships.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

[Nellie]

Yes

[blake_hughes]

Nellie,
Can your guy take care of this?

I might've stumbled across a pretty good deal. Turns out my neighbor restores old bikes... Specifically old bikes that haven't been running for a couple years. He claims he'll rebuild the carb, check the valves, blah, blah, blah... But he didn't say anything about cost. :wink:

[ktm300hater]

This isn't a hard job, if your smart enough to take the carb apart you can do it yourself. You can pm me if you need some help. I accept paypal.....lol

[justme168]

+1 do it your self

[blake_hughes]

I agree... And I originally thought, 'What a kick-ass project! A little clean-up and I'll be back in business.' Since then, I've found that there might be more to it than that. :evil: I've thoroughly cleaned the carb... Everything else seems in order... But she isn't even trying to start. I'd rather play it safe than take a chance of ruining something co$tly.

Blake,
Did you figure that thing out yet? I happen to be a mechanic working in the atv/mc business for the last 12 years. This should be fairly easy to fix that you could do yourself. But if you can't find someone to do it properly in your area and you want to ship it to me, I would inspect it thoroughly and let you know what it might need at no charge. I am tring to start my own business out here in Texas ( I moved here from Riverside,California about five months ago) and would be happy to help someone like yourself who needs help. I understand you might be leary to send your parts to somone you've never met so if you would rather meet me out at village creek mx park someday I would look at it for you while you wait. I always bring a full tool box with me to be able to repair most anything that might happen.I'll be there in the next few weeks to help out a racer that i'm working with getting his bike ready for the upcoming season.Good luck! Let me know if I can be of any help to you.

[blake_hughes]

Ken,
I cleaned it up, re-installed it and she started up, but... It's still not right. I could've done a better job of cleaning, but I was convinced that it was shot. Since then, I ordered a new carb. If I have any issues I'll give you shout.

By the way... Thanks for the offer... That's a hell of a deal!

[kendawg22]

No problem Blake. I know there are a lot of smart people on this forum that have screwdrivers in there tool box but i don't think some of them have ever used them for anything but picking their noses. Anyway, Good luck with the BW!

[AR616]

beings that this is a 1986 model and this is 2009, thats a 23 year old piece. so this is way before your 12 year experience
window kenn, sorry!!

[kendawg22]

AR616,
I said i've been working in the industry for the Past 12 years,I didn't say I only have 12 years experience. Let's see, I was born in 68 so that makes me 40 now. I got my first minibike when I was 6-7. Moved onto a 76 XR75when I was 11. I rode that for a few years till I got a KX 80. My dad said he wasnt going to pay someone to work on it when it broke.So ive been working on my own bikes since I was 12. I moved up to a KX 125 the first year of high school Then sold it so I could buy a RD400 when I got my m/c license when I was 15. Anyway I've worked in various machine shops doing crankshaft rebuilds,boring,honing,resleeving,valve jobs on everthing from Toyotas to Ferraris. Then moved into the aerospace industry for about 3 years, then on to a plastic injection mold shop setting up and programming cnc edm's, cnc machine centers. From there I went back to what I loved-Motorcycles and Atv's . So over the past 12 years I've been doing everthing from welding aluminum cases and re -machining them to building complete bikes from the ground up to dyno tuning and product developement for a company in Southern California. I could send you a resume if you want to hire me. Anyway 1986 was not way before my time.Thanks for your concern though!

See I have you beat, born in 67, been working on bikes since I was 10.......Aerospace........so your a rocket scientist.......figures

[kendawg22]

Age and Wisdom don't always go hand in hand, but i think you make up for it with your sense of humor! Only worked on electronics boxes for f16's and Patriot missiles and that kind of thing. Oh S... your right again! a missile is a type of rocket isn't it??? Sorry my bad. You win.

[ktm300hater]

You win.

I know...

[AR616]

most people stick with what they are good at. So since you have done quite a bit of stuff, you must not be real
good at anything!!

i doubt working on motorcycles pay as good as working on f16's or ferrari's but hell what do i know.

im an ASE master tech, BMW master tech and an AUDI expert tech and from my experience in a dealership for
19 years, technology is a mf'er..it changes every year. And honda has alotta technology. So if there injectors
clog from a spec of dirt, thats a joke. Thats part of the reason FI runs high fuel pressures. i seriously doubt
the fuel bleed off is from dirt. a piece of dirt will not last long at 50psi.......

[kendawg22]

When you get bored with something, you move on to new things. No matter how much money you make if you arent happy whats it all for? Being stuck in a service bay isn't my idea of satisfaction, but maybe for you it is, I don't know. Getting to travel and work on one-off handmade scooters flips my switch.Making parts from a peice of aluminum or steel ,then seeing it on the vehicle when your done is something most people don't have the ability to do. How many bmw's have you seen caked with mud, then the customer messes with it and somehow gets something a.f.u. and then brings it to you to fix and says "I don't know what happened I was just driving and then......" so you probly don't see anything that challenges you from day to day. I don't know. Every day for me is different working in this industry. Doing oil changes and replacing brake pads isn't my idea of a challenge. How many motors have you worked on that make 250hp per liter? Maybe if you work for a La Mans team,yeah. Nothing like that at any dealership. You don't know me so you wouldn't have any idea of my skills or what I am good or not good at. Some people also don't have the capacity to apply what they've learned in one field and carry it over to another field. So if your only good at one thing stick with it ,If your good at many things then opportunitis come your way to be able to do different things. I've been unhappy at jobs that pay 80k a year and moved on because money isn't everthing.

Why is everyone on this sight so butthurt because someone offers a solution to a problem that they have no answer for??? Do you all talk just to here yourselves speak??? Don't hate the player, hate the game.

[ktm300hater]

Wow are you sure your only 40, thats alot of stuff to pack into 20 years and be really good at all of it

[AR616]

well ken, i must be doing way better than you cause you dont seE me on here trying to drum up business!!
i challenge you to show up at my place of employment and do my job. with all your skills it should be a
walk in the park. id prefer to work on luxury cars than scrap mud of my honda rancher to clean dirt from
fuel injectors!!

lick some balls!!!

[jank315]

I see a toilet in the future...sweet

[kendawg22]

So just what are your ase credentials. What series of tests are you master of? As far as drumming up work, I offered my service here free of charge unlike other folks with hourly rates etc. I only expressed that I want to start my own business soon. Oh, and sorry again, I only lick gash.

[blake_hughes]

Your 'free' offer is very rare... And kick-ass!

[AR616]

my ase credentials are im a master in knowing your full of shit..after reading everything youve done, i say your just a glorified apprentice. Never been anywhere for long enough to amount to shit!! your sort of a dipshit, cause if you knew anything then you would know, factory trained techs fix cust jacked up stuff all day long.

and if your only making $80 a year using all your skills, then you really suck. somebody with all your knowledge
would be worth way more than that!!

if you would like to drop by, i will take your for a ride in the twin turbo 4.2L rs6 that i just built. i know it doesnt have
250hp per liter but its not a race car either. its an everyday street driven pump gas family 4 door.

so go like some gash(ass) and keep your goals high!! someday you'll find a place to land and make a real living!!

shit, i say even my buddy redhead has you covered by miles!!!!!!!

[kendawg22]

That's what I thought, you can't even answer the question, can you. You also can't read. 80k as in thousand.Who's the dipshit here? Why don't you go to the ase website and put in your password and download yor creds. and then post them here. The RS6 comes with twin turbos, and makes 450hp from the factory,so what exactly did you do to it? Oil change,new brakes ,rotate the tires? Yeah like most luxury car owners are working on their own stuff.1/1000 maybe. Here I'll make it easy for you. Are you master A,B,M,E,S,T,P,C ? All of them?

[kendawg22]

Thanks Blake,
Most places want your money before they will tell you whats wrong. If you are honest with people and are up front with them and don't try to overcharge for stuff thats not needed people will use your services again and again. Instaed of bending them over once and they leave pissed off and never come back. Yeah, honesty is rare these days. As you can tell from all the lame ass posts on here.

[AR616]

sorry for the typo dipshit, i meant $80k and you dont know shit cause the rs6 makes 550hp.. go back to cali and bullshit people cause any mexican can do what you do!!!

haha. your a pussy!!!!!!!

[Nellie]

Unbelievable! Just unbelievable!

Kendawg, stick around and keep posting, please.

[Blue573]

This is Bullshit! I've got screwdrivers younger then all of you. I've had them since Christmas! Now what bitches! I even have a three stack tool box. It's got over 50 tools in it by now. I like to keep them new looking so I don't even use them. I was in the aerospace industry by the time I was 19. That's right mfers I was building a real rocket that goes to space. So what if the boss pulled the plug and it never got there at least my shits in a museum now!! OH oh oh and one more point for you so called mechanics. I've been back in aviation for close to a year going to school and working on warbirds and shit. Thats right I work on conuder valves, widgets, flux capacitors and types of shit yo. I mainly specialize in cleaning oil pans and floors at the moment but i keep my shit tight dawg. Yo yo yo check this shizzznit out this is some of my work yo........

I can't believe its' still on the runway!... thanks to your supreme mechanical skillaz.

[MICKEYMEANIE]

Blue... that custom prop is TIGHT!! Nice work yo'!


kendawg22... you might catch less flack if you post your offer in the "for sale/wanted" section of the forum...

[blake_hughes]

Post your offer in the for sale/wanted section... Why?


Anyone know a good mechanic who can restore/rebuild old carbs...


Anybody know someone locally who could tackle something like this?

Sounds to me like he answered my post... Why should he catch any flack at all in this thread?

[MICKEYMEANIE]

I'm not saying he "should" catch flack in this section, and I agree he did answer your question... I just know these guys aren't going to let up on him, so rather than agitating the natives, the for sale/wanted section might be less controversial for these guys... or a PM to you directly... I say the for sale/wanted section because he's also trying to drum up business for himself...

[ktm253]

WOW I was having a really crapy day and forsure didnt have time to read this whole post but man it just makes me love TX motocross.... Hater your just awsome and AR616 we need to hang out more your post are forsure the best and I dont care if you can even adjust your chain or put air in a bmw tire! Nobody gets to take a shot at piper cause he dang shop is WAY to clean..... Anyhow thanks everyone for making my day alot more happy.

Gotta run going to look on ebay for some old scew drivers so I can offer up some advice and try and build some motors today, OH never mind the only advice I have is just read the bible! :))))

Shud up Blue! You are the bigest tool in your tool box, you walleyed jackalope. The only rocket you have ever worked on is your flesh rocket getting it ready for a trip to UrAnus. Smurf!

I don't know who the new guy is, but this is Hater's House. If he does not know the answer, he will tell you just that! but most of the time he is spot on before you get a description of the problem out of your mouth. It is not polite and you should'nt come in blowin shit about yourself, without payin your due's first. There are a lot of great people on here, and most think they are factory level tuners. Truth told there's about 5 who actually walk the walk. You may be really good! but, calling someone out and being a newbee is not gonna get you anywhere.

[AR616]

thats what i was thinking tank! if haters too busy to reply-no worries..i have plenty of time to type
a smart ass reply for him.

[mxtx45]

spot on!

[ktm300hater]

thats what i was thinking tank! if haters too busy to reply-no worries..i have plenty of time to type

LMAO thanks buddy. Yes Im am actually busy sometimes running my own business that I started 9 years ago.........

[AR616]

good job hater! but do you actually ever have to clean the mud or other stuff of a quad before you work on it? cause if you do than you know the feeling! thats way better than working on ferrari's or anything of higher quality.

[mxtx45]

Booby, I need to add to the order! Call me before you ship anything.

[ktm300hater]

good job hater! but do you actually ever have to clean the mud or other stuff of a quad before you work on it? cause if you do than you know the feeling! thats way better than working on ferrari's or anything of higher quality.


Ya id much rather work on shit and mud covered 4 wheelers.....its the highlight of my day. Its SOOOOOOO rewarding.


Trust me if I were in a position to work on Ferarris I would or be able to machine one-off parts, or, or, or ........

[AR616]

im with you 100%---

[kendawg22]

LMAOROTF!!! AR616,Still waiting after 3 more posts from you, for what you are ASE certifications are.Don't have any do ya. You went and shot your wad a little early huh? Got called out and have no answers.I made it multiple guess for you,all you had to do was pick one. You're now dismissed from class, report to the principals office if you can find your way there.
Hater,
so you admit that you never been in a position to work on anything Ferrari and are not able to machine your own one-off parts. If you weren't on the internet posting almost 1900 posts in two years,you may have been able to learn more than just how to type really well. You are also dismissed, Follow AR616 so you can both get lost together. Don't forget to hold hands so you don't get separated.
To everyone else here,
My apologies for ruffling the feathers of all the pea****s in the yard.Hope ya'll didn't get any on ya.
As for paying my dues, being a newbie to this forum, If I had 1900 posts does that make me and my answers more or less credible? You can decide for yourselves. I didn't come on here to call anyone out, take over anyone's "Turf" or to make anyone feel stupid. Again sorry. Looks like I accomplished all three without trying. So this will be me last post on this topic. I'll wait for the next one to appear, unless I get an encore from the crowd.WHOOOOOOO!!!
P.s. you really represent your title well here Hater,for being the official blah,blah,blah of this site. I'm really not an ass, but, when in Rome,do as the Romans. I'll try to be more civilized next time. Again,my apologies to the natives, and thanks for the support from those who know b.s. when they read it.

[ktm300hater]

Aww you caught me, I have no idea what im talking about. The thing is tho, is why is this forum your posting in have my name on it......hmmmmmm


now go play with your rockets and Ferarris and leave the bigboy talk to people with the knowhow

[AR616]

sorry sir douche bag einstein, i am certified in all 8 areas to be a level I ase master-1-engine repair 2-automatic trans/transaxle 3-manual drive train and axles 4 suspension and steering 5-brakes 6-electrical/electronic systems 7-heating and air conditioning 8-engine performance

did not continue on in level II due to the fact that german auto manufacturers do not recognize ase test-i have been certified since 1998-

i am not ferrari certified or mud/shit scrapping certified.

ask anybody who knows me, you aint shit in my book till you prove me your worthy! your lame ass attempts to solicit business on her are weak and your answers are total bs.. you may buffalo the average guys with all your shit-ive done this and that crap, but obviously you havent won your bosses over because you have had more jobs than the average mexican.

keep up the good work ken, you surely make my day!!

I built a house made out of ice cream sticks once for a art project in the 4th grade! And I also built a bird feeder from a one pound coffee can.

[kendawg22]

Wow, it only took you four days to find that on the ase website..........Brilliant.
Ask anybody that knows me.................
I wouldn't let you walk my dog.

yo ferrari builder, come on down to 1701 airport freeway in euless tx and you can hold my cerftficate in your hand
and my dick in your mouth!

its ok buddy, dont be jealous because you failed at everything youve tried! it happens!

keep trying and soon enough you will be pumping slurpees at 7/11 with the best of them.

[AR616]

hey can anybody scan my certificates and post them on here.

ken, do the same and we will see if you have any creditbility

please ken, just come see me!!

[kendawg22]

Well I'm just sayin if I am a master tech(A1 thru A8), and had to get recertified every 5 years,i would have that info "off the top of my head", Wouldn't you think, if he's so smart and factory bmw master,audi expert with 19 years in dealerships. What if a customer walks in and asks him the same question, he'd look like a dumbass. "I'll let you know in four days". Would you leave your "Luxury Car" there for him to work on? C'mon Hater tell us the truth now.I'm just sayin......................

[AR616]

i take those test in my sleep, like i said german auto manufactures do not give a shit about ase's. i do it for myself just to keep fresh(like your bullshit) so anytime you would like i will let you hold my certificate-i know it will be the only ! you will ever hold-ase's dont make my ($90k a year-got you beat) so who gives a **** if they are on top of my head-by the way einstein, they expire every 4 years!!

haha your 1 tool a tool truck doesnt sell!!!!!!!

[AR616]

where are your aerospace and ferrari certs?? dont have none! jackass....you havent work long enough anywhere for
anybody to invest $$ into your dumb ass..

you probably arent even from california-more like from some pig farm in wyoming

What, don't you have a camera on your phone? Or does it need to be a super duper quality image, in which case, I do have a flatbed scanner.

I wasn't planning to go to Village tonight now that I'm out of beer. Wait, I do have a lot of liquor though don't I? Hmmm....

[kendawg22]

The person I had to answer to in the aerospace industry is the Quality Control Person who is certified by Boeing,Ratheon,Hughes,Mcdonnell-Douglas,Etc., who inspects each part you build to a file cabinet full of specifications and o.k's the parts. Each heli-coil tang,rivet,chem-film process, must be accounted for and is documented along the way. Of course you wouldnt know anything about tight tolerance work cause you don't have your "M" certification do you? You need more than a tape measure in your tool box to do that kind of work.

Nahhhhhhhhh, you still got me beat!

I have a bunch of certificates hanging on my wall! But mine are for stupid entrepreneure of the year and other silly shit like that. Dawg, where can I buy me one of those rocket science certificates? hell even a ferarri certificate would be good! :roll:

[AR616]

sorry kenny, no M here. dont need one. I work on german cars with gas and diesel engines-so what brand motocycle has a jet engine? i know some 4 wheelers are diesel, are those the ones you scrape mud off of before you pull the thorn out of
the tire and install a new tube?
you got me on the M-but your M doesnt pay what my A1 pays-so YOU SUCK!!!

[SMF]

Hey, I used to build F-16s. Does that count?

I just remembered, I have 2 blue ribbons from the 2005 Texas Scottish Festival. 1 for a brown ale, and one for a Scotch ale. So while I may not be certified, I'm damn sure qualified.

[kendawg22]

All you have to do is type in your password on the ASE sight to access your Certs.Then save to your computer(you do have one of those don't you?), then post it here.............

[kendawg22]

LMAO, SMF!!!!!!

[mxtx45]

Scotch beats everything, you win again.

[AR616]

sure do, do you? mr.M..

i have nothing to prove to anybody on here, just you. Come see me in person if you would like to see my certificates-
i have a wallet size card you can have as your own-

as a once in a lifetime chance, i will have the full 8x11 cert with me tonigh at village, please feel free to stop by and take a gander-

you still aint certified to work on an 09 honda 450!!

[kendawg22]

An "M" cert is for an engine machinist. Thanks you just proved my point.

[AR616]

guess what stupid-read what i said-i aint a machinist-im a german auto technician-im not machining 1 off parts-therefore i dont need a M-so where on a dirtbike are you machining anything? so you can do a valve job or bore a cylinder-good for you. but that proves you can diagnose anything.

so prove your point or not-no i didnt know what a M stands for nor do i care-

if i were a cerftified machinist, i wouldnt be working on muddy quads for a living!

you proved my point, no matter what i or anybody will say, you are still a dumb ass!!
dont worry i can handle the heat-keep it coming cause im an attention whore like so many
others on here. I love this shit!!

[kendawg22]

Geee, let me see , where should I start? Blueprinting motors, setting the correct deck heights for proper squish clearance, cc'ing heads, raising/lowering compression, trueing crankshafts, welding and re-machining damaged or obsolete parts, resleeving cylinders, boring, honing to fit piston/cylinder wall clearance, machining custom brackets for nitrous systems, making custom triple clamps from billet,machining cam gears to be able to change valve timing/overlap,cheating....I mean gaining a competitive advantage in otherwise stock classes Should I go on? If you had to ask you,obviously don't know anything about improving performance except for what you can bolt on.

[kendawg22]

Do you think Pro Circuit, for example, doesn't machine heads or cylinders to gain performance? Or they just wish they had more power and bam, they make more power. It's not just about raising or lowering port heights and thicker/thinner gaskets.

[AR616]

good job ken. You got me. But nowhere did you say diagnose. People bring you their motor and say make me some hp. But when they ask about fuel in the oil you have no clue cause your a machinist. Leave the diagnosing to hater. He knows his shit. So proud of ya for now but there is always tomorrow!

[mxobserver]

Mxobserver notes kendawg22 is a douche! Mxobserver also notes said douche should spend time with motocrosslittlebittienuts34. Mxobserver notes they appear to have the same level of intelligence!

[11kphotos]

Damn, why does Andy go hiding all his good material in the wrenches forum? This is main screen material.

BTW, Joe is in the market for a Ferrari (not kidding). When he decides on his purchase maybe Ken can hook him up with a free tune-up? Those things cant be maintenance heavy, can they? Something about clutches or whatever. But shit, i'm just a dumbass photographer so please dont get too technical.

Donny Elmer did all that in his dirty ass trailer at the track...........

lets see, machining obsolete parts....now just guessing here but unless your working on vintage bikes, parts are avaiable on a wide scale

releeving and boring cylinders....that hasnt been done since the eightys. Pretty much all bikes since then have plated cylinders

nitrous......Ive never seen anyone put nitous on a dirtbike and ive been doing this for 30 years

machining cam gears.....these are pressed on from the factory and arent removable

making custom triple clamps? theres 20 companies that do that so why bother


Should I go on..........

[blake_hughes]

Hey guys, here's an update... I'm still waiting on my new carb to be delivered.

[blake_hughes]

It should be here pretty quick... I hope.

[AR616]

dont know about a ferrari but a lambo diablo clutch cost around $10,000-just for labor!
a bugatti veyron 1st major service is $75,000-
so tell joe to save some cash!!

i think ken just is trying to fit it, but maybe just went about it the wrong way-
o well, hes a ****ing machinist for gods sake!!

piper got cerftified by budweiser as a machinist-he cc's a mean head!!!!!

[Kasberg187]

Hey guys, here's an update... I'm still waiting on my new carb to be delivered.

haha, exactly what i was thinking. you have problems with a moto carb and everyone's ranting and raving about ferraris and jets.

[kendawg22]

Ok Hater,
Bolt-on timing gears- the newest of CBR street bikes,CRF/TRX hondas, Earlier GSXR's,Raptors/Rhinos, To name a few.
Obsolete bikes-Harley,Crocker,Indian, yeah Vintage for sure. All with cast iron sleeves.
Nitous on dirt bikes-Common on hillclimbers and atv's.
Twelve bolt triple tree clamps-BEFORE they were made by any aftermarket companies.Haven't made those for about 10 years,but for custom Harleys, a lot more recent.
I would have thought for someone doing this for as long as you have , you wouldn't have tried to argue those points, because you are 100% wrong on this. I don't usually make it a point to call anyone out on anything, but when people say I'm wrong and have no facts to back it up,I don't give up. Don't know why you would want to get into a pissing contest with anyone here. Maybe it's peer pressure from all your friends here saying I'm calling you out on an issue or point. There is no prize or checkered flag here to "win". I've worked on everthing from y-zingers to nitro Harley's Drag bikes, And I will admit I don't know it all, just like you don't know it all.(please don't take this out of context and use it for another arguement,Like the"You Win" in previous post).
AR616,
You plug in your diagnostics computer into the electronics service port and punch a few buttons. The computer then tells you what error codes have faulted out. Then based on the code, it gives you an idea of what MIGHT be wrong. So you either have a wire harness short or break in the wire somewhere, a faulty sensor ,or a mechanical issue causing a sensor to give the computer or ecu a false signal. That's the short version. I can use an ohms meter, read a wiring diagram, and service manual too. After all, it's not (sorry for the pun) rocket science.

CRF/TRX,Raptor/Rhino- dirt machines.
Nothing to do with motocross?
BRILLIANT.
I'm gonna refer to you as Gomer from now on.

[ktm300hater]

And on a side note, the first shop I ever worked at we specialized in restoring old bikes....Nortons, BSAs, Beemers. Not to mention our customers were riders of Aprillias and Ducatis. So if you want to start measuring dicks, bring it.

My point is this, this is my forum and your very first post was busting my balls because I didnt give the answer you thought was right. You want to give your opinion, than give it. I could give a **** if you sucked Obamas dick. All your I did this and that rhetoric just makes you look like some blowhard.....

Of those models yes the CRF, the rest are 4 wheelers tard.

From now on ill refer to you as kentard

[AR616]

your showing your stupidity machinist, is that what the called in in cali, electronic service port. since 1997 its been obd II connector. next subject.......and in 19 years(yes 19) i have only replaced 3 completed wiring harnesses. so germans dont have wiring problems-and check your facts-most late model cars are fibre optic-so go back to 1991 and machine a 1 off piece of shit to put up your ass!!! and also now days every thing is on the computer, havent seen a service manual in years-see your behind on technology einstein-

im pretty sure they are hiring here, come fill out an application-you should be a shoe in-and will
even top your $80k a year-

but wait, you probably cant even read a scan tool can you? you a ****ing loser!

go hog out cylinders and put nitrous on street bikes and build triple clamps for harleys, cause thats
what you do? whats your name? exactly, i havent heard of you either!!!!

[mxtx45]

I love it when a new fish comes to the fish pond. I did see nitrous on a 4-wheeler at badlands about 2003 or 4 at one of the moonlight series races. never seen it since in race trim.

[kendawg22]

Gomer
Go back and read the posts. I never busted anyone's balls til ya'll started slinging it. I gave nothing but a courteous and respectful answer to the orignal question.Which is more than I have recieved here from ya'll. Again i think most of your advise is well meaning and correct, and again you continue to attempt to belittle someone with sarcastic crap,for no reason other than to save face with your buddies.

[ktm300hater]

Im not saving face with anyone, you gave bad info. Let me recap, you told him there was a pebble in his fuel injector. I called you out on it and it began. Can you please explain to me how a pebble would pass thru the screen and the fuel pump and finally make it way to the injector.

If your so awesome maybe you should start up kentard racing and put Mitch Payton out of business.

[AR616]

the 1st thing to learn Kentard is nobody here are buddies!! you better have thick skin coming around here.

good day!!

[kendawg22]

So lets say the bike has mud and crap underneath the gas tank and whoever is working on it disconnects the fuel line at the injector cause the bike is new enogh ,he may not know that the line does or doesn't have to be disconnected there and debri falls into the sytem at that point. The injector line is past the pump and the filter, so the debri is introduced into the sysem past these two things that may either break up said debri or filter it out of the sysem. However unlikely it is , do you think its possible? It was just one possibility. That's a better answer than "I don't know".
I asked one of my buddies from cali this morning about this and his simple answer was that the rings are not yet seated.Is this the answer to the question no-one else, even Honda techs, has a solution for? Could be. Maybe not.It's one possibility.
So from there is where the slinging began,cause you haven't seen a customer do something like this, I have on a LTR quad. So no matter what you say the possibilties are or aren't, I have seen this before. And 50lbs. of fuel pressure may or may not break up a very small stone.
Hopefully we will all have an answer to the problem if and when the problem is solved.
I'm surprised this topic hasn't been flushed into the toilet.

[mxobserver]

Mxobserver states GO AWAY kendouche22! you loose! Mxobserver states you sir are a complete idiot!

[ktm300hater]

so now its a stone..........

[AR616]

no need to disconnect fuel line on 09 honda-tank has a tether that holds the tank out of the way!! no chance of debris then-haha

and 50 psi thru the injector will blow anything thru it unless piece is too big in which case you would have no fuel at all!!

so someone in cali is as smart or smarter than you? was it mitch payton? or was it rex b. hoy?

[AR616]

i give you credit ken, you may be able to google search things better than me, you may be book smarter than me and i think thats about it. but actual hands on abilities, you lose.

a certificate may get you a job but it for sure will not keep you a job. so until you put in the time holding a job anywhere, you have no creditibilty with me or it seems a few others. keep dreaming and pumping up your own head. im sure bobby could use your skills-he deals with a lotta dirty quads-im sure redhead could use your help with nitrous street bikes but i also feel very strongly he knows what he is talking about-saw some of his work-so sorry bud, keep trying to out smart us. you may be winning but i dont think so!!

Ken. Never, ever start a discussion with Reynolds unless you have a means to an end. He is the resident "NO BS" enforcer. Normally this is Haters job but he's too busy in the moto sections to be of great assistance here. What you can take from this: These guys know their shit. You might know your shit, which is cool, but you cannot bullshit the bullshitters. Rest assured sir, txmotocross will flank you in this area.

MxObserver, 11k insists you step off because Ohms law is his territory. He also request "dont make him bow up".

[mxobserver]

Mxobserver wonders since you dont want to "bow up" would you then bow down to Mxobserver?

[Kasberg187]

i call for a meeting at cabela's!!!!

or on the playground at 3:45, after school. i'll tell the jr. high kids.

[mxobserver]

Mxobserver should note he is,however,impressed with a code monkey's knowledge of Ohms law! Mxobserver also states the following:11k ist eine wunderbare fotografen aber gerne manner!

[AR616]

tell your buddies kasberg!! do they run #'s on their bikes or are they like you #w0w?? do you run m0m on your 450?

hahaha

[Kasberg187]

they stopped running numbers after i put w0w on my bike...they knew they couldn't top it.

if i had a 450, i'd probably run p00...or m00. unless my mom bought it for me, then of course i'd run m0m.

hell, i'd run anything just to have a 450.

Mxobserver should note he is,however,impressed with a code monkey's knowledge of Ohms law! Mxobserver also states the following:11k ist eine wunderbare fotografen aber gerne manner!

11k insists he is no code monkey. Asks, would you take your car to a service center to get the oil changed if you wanted to retool the manufacturer for the latest model? He also prefers inductance conversations over OHMS or anything in the industrial physics realm. 11k used to be educated but remembers politics getting in the way that eventually alterted his career path. He reminds the democrats with a somber "thanks".

11k also asks, German was it? 11k thanks MXO, he thinks?

[ball34]

So AR616 is a German car mechanic, and Ken is a rocket scientist, and Hater thinks hes the Dahli Lama of motorcycles, yall are all gay.

[AR616]

and ball34 is the pivot man-call me worse, my mom has--

[AR616]

o and scottball34, its technician-mechanic is too close to machinist and im not M certified-just a clarification!

thank you-and sometimes i wish i were gay-18 years being married and having a 15 and 18 year old makes me gay
sometimes-weiners and wine racing all the way!!!

I'll take you up on your offer. If you want to wrench on my carb, you got it... And I'll compensate you for it, maybe :D ... But if you tell me that piece of crap isn't working because of a pebble/stone/rock I'll...

[Rage]

so this is where the goofy ass Ball34 turned up - so now he's a mechanic?

[blake_hughes]

Let's see if I can't get this thread back on track...

My new carb showed up. I installed it, but I cannont get the bike to start. I noticed the idle screw was only about a 1/2 turn in, so I adjusted it (and the air/fuel screw) to the same settings as the original carb. I still can't get it to start. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a normal setting for the idle and air screw that the factory's use? I'm under the impression that most air screws are 1-1/2 turns out... Is that where I should start? I did manage to get the bike to start, but it won't run any longer than a couple seconds.

Thanks for the help!!!

[SG Berm book]

Blake - something very similar happened to my generator out at Freestone.. Mr.Fox369/Chief diagnosed and mechanic'd the problem...... My generator would only run for a few seconds then die. We would have to wait about 10 minutes, then it would start again for only a couple of seconds then die again. Pull your gas line off of the carb and make sure you have a steady flow of fuel coming out. Sounds like you need to clean/check your gas tank and fuel pet****, especially if it's old and has set up forever. Those two could be clogged with junk...barely letting any fuel seep into the carb....therefor only running for a couple of seconds (burning off the small amount of fuel that did seep in, then dieing.) Chief Fox369 is both a mechanic and Naval officer at the Navy base....he also rides....so I listened to him while he fixed my generator...he is also a small engine Lawn Mower repair guy, beer delivery man, orthopedic surgeon, dentist, zoologist, IT specialist, Pimp, photographer, ASCE & NASA certified machinist, movie studio production enegineer & Free Willy trainer. The dude knows his sh?t !!!!!! Just throwing out a scenario that you may want to check.....going off of my personal experience.

Oh shit! Do you realize what you have done? Now we can look forward to God knows how many more pages because you have encroached "The Haters" personal thread and probably given false and misleading information. Great. Lets rename this thread so there is no further confusion.

And Blake, tell Megan I said "Hi"! :)

[Nellie]

Forgot to add that it did run today, so maybe your advice was sound after all.

[SG Berm book]

hahahaah! I, along with everyone else I'm sure...would like to know what the solution to the problem was. This was a Rocky Balboa thread !

Oh yeah, the Big Wheel did run this weekend... Simple problem: The plug was fouled! :x For the record... The plug was the 1st thing I checked... It was working, but I guess it was on it's last sparks!

SG,
That wasn't a bad guess! I had already replaced the fuel shut-off valve and the line connecting it to the carb... The originals were trashed! Had I not replaced them, I'd have starved the carb for sure.
