    Fuel from needle jet at idle? WTH????

    brcause i was asked, fnal setting for mixture screws: #1 - 2 3/4 #2 -2 #3 - 2 1/8 #4 - 2 3/4 bike runs smooth, plugs look perfect. no queefing or popps, even on overrun. Any closer to perfectwould require a gas analyser. But those are te settings oir my bike, every other bike is going to be...

    lol, those guys started in woodbine trailer park in beaverbank (dated a couple girls when i was in HS who lived there), then out by cow bay by the old mental hospital and finally had to build thier own park/set because they wanted to do too many wild things. like blowing things up. I don't...

    What Would YOU Do?

    my father died from complications in conjunction with Alzheimer's. towards the end he would have breif lucid moments where he would be begging us to end his life. pleading for all he was worth. anyone against assisted death should go through that experience before they feel the need to deny...

    probably a subject better adressed in its own thread instead of buried under my rather obscure thead title. would probably get more relevant traffic that way,.

    not breaking my heart any. despite what you might think, you didnt add anything buddy, so i didnt respond. now youre trying to make something out of it. all you were adding was noise. might as well asked if the left tail light worked or if there was oil in the sight glass. it was 15 pages of...

    pics on a computer screen of spark plugs are useless for troubleshooting unless theyre pig rich or dead lean (ie: heavy carbon fouled or burnt clean). you would be able to see oil fouling or perhaps fuel wet fouling. you loose the shading in the rendering on a screen. You also need a magnifier...

    cool. i was taught how to read plugs when i was 13 and have been using/refining that ever since. :)

    back from a jetting run. Queefing is completely gone. very good! :) Accepts throttle in any gear from any rpm without protest. very good! :) Very slightest of lean chug on heavy throttle at low rpm. Im just ticking into 1/2 throttle at that point so a smidge of needle work may be required...

    in a nutshell: lots of people seem to think the center insulator is an indicator of jetting. not really. you're watching the base ring primarily and plug condition overall. tip insulator is only of any real use reading jetting at WOT chops. heres pretty much what you're shooting for: for...

    Project Heavy Cruiser

    showed up in the mail today: Tired of trying to strap my coffee in the bags somewhere to take to work every morning and it will be nice to be able to grab a quick slug of water on those longer summer rides. :) also had a used venture seat show up. the cover is trashed, but i was afteer the...

    pulled the plugs this morning. Again, pics are a little decieving: seeing them in person under the lighted 10X magnifier gives the real story. 1 is still a hint lean and probably the source of the little queefing i was noticing, 2is still fat but closer, 3 is pretty close and maybe an...

    If you tossed them after a week you don't understand what they are intended for. The value in iridium's (and platinum's or any rare earth/noble metals) is the wear characteristics compared to more conventional plugs. If you're expecting anything besides longevity in using them (IE: hp, mileage...

    Fuel from needle jet at idle? WTH????

    Don't need to waste my money to know what I'm looking at. All have some type of gimmick or hook, from multiple ground electrodes to slots, grooves, coatings and any other number of "breakthrough" ideas. All snake oil. All crap. My GM's get Delco. My Fords get Motorcraft. I don't care who...
