Re: Nylon nuts

You are correct, screws and wire. My retired brain and fingers made me do it. But please if you do rewire it, use the special tie wire that you can get at any Home Depot or Lowes, or good hardware or auto supply. All is good and I stand corrected. Good Luck with project. Happy Hodaken.

Re: Nylon nuts

Hello again, its not that the nylon nuts will cause more damage, its the question one must ask is it worth more than to use proper special stainless tie wire to make sure that issues probably will not happen, or take the chance if something fails and its all a costly repair to be done. Proper tie wi...

Re: Cabled Choke???

Victor I bet that the soaking in hot or boiling water for over 12hrs might work as suggested, pouring hot water on it does not allow water to soak into everything properly, Might help on outside rubber but this is stuck down inside a tube in carb. Soaking is better. Good Luck. takes time. Bruce

Re: Jetting reference?

Gary, I personally would recommend it only as a guide, there are too many variables, when you reach out the general population some of which have no former mechanical knowledge.

Re: Jetting reference?

Hello, Gary, that idea for a chart would be wonderful to have for each model, when you start your charts there should be one for each, not just what bikes you have in your garage or working on at the time. Also concerning jetting, be very careful to mention type of use of where and how the bike is g...
