Greetings; Sucking in air from around the reed cage could be a Bad Thing. So you just cut yourself an aluminum gasket? Well done. Do you think paper gasket material would work as well covering so small a gap? Maybe with some of thet-thar Yamabond to glue it down? I wonder how Malossi missed the dime...

Greetings:

Thet-thar''s good stuff.

Thanks SW! Now I get to visit the Bad Part of Town and troll Wild Willie's Wellness Welding Supply...

Greetings: Daywot Store on eBay has the Keli variator with your choice of weights for under $40 + shipping. "Buy It Now" price. Ramp not included but you can use the stocker. He recently told me he will soon have a matched HiPo ramp for another $50(?). He also recommended a particular spri...

Greetings: The 1985 Aero tank fitting is different from my 1987 also. Previous owner, mistaken that he had a 1985 ordered a new vac. petcock for that year. It does not fit the 1987 - threads and size BOTH wrong. You can't adjust the threads. I went to Home Depot and purchased the parts shown: http:/...

Greetings: Last night I prepped piston, cylinder and parts by washing in solvent and lubing everything like a bad prom date with Honda 2-Stroke oil. The rings appeared identical. Nothing to distinguish upper/lower rings, top or bottom. Correct? Locating pins were very small and they were pushed almo...

SpamBot action? Swarm and Destroy!

Greetings: So nearly impossible to calculate the volume of that oil squirt from the tiny piston, and even more uncertainty due to the unknown gear ratios from crank to cross shaft and worm-drive to cam. Wow! Honda-san keeps his secrets.! And last, the squirt of oil is deposited as a droplet of unkno...

Greetings: Until a couple of years ago, one of the glossy bike magazines featured a monthly article by a Master Rider Trainer about Safe(r) Motorcycling. Can't recall his name right now, Gordon, something. This guy taught the teachers in Rider's Ed. He had thought through about every possible safety...

Greetings: Polini recommends washing its brand-new pistons & all parts in "Petrol". (Gasoline) then blowing it all dry. Mineral spirits is probably as effective and much safer. Others recommend soap & water. I think the point is to remove all traces of machining grit. Slather every...

Greetings: Like many owners, the stress of repeatedly removing 22 year-old ABS had caused some cracks to appear in my well-worn skins. Here's an easy repair method pictorial. Prep the area inside the crack with a dab of Acetone. You must be over 18 to purchase this legally. Kids, don't huff this stu...

Greetings:

Werx, you got a PN & source for that Malossi Aero (NB50, right?) reed?

Greetings: Unmarked jets - whassup widdat? The stocker is about the size of a fine "E" guitar string. On further examination, the Polini is almost a "B" string size. Anyone know of a source for round "feeler gauges" - not sure what to call them - to help determine the s...

Greetings:

Nice job! Thanks!
