Massively good effort of recycling someone else's throwaway. Gotta like that.
I see your point. The main problem to overcome with the valve spring decompresser is size. The striking thing about modern 4 valve heads is how...
Sure Mike, ask away. I've been a tech for nearly 25 years. I've removed and installed valves, guides, cut seats on all type of Honda heads....
There's nothing about unplugging the fuel pump relay that should cause you to lose spark. Matter of fact, if you unplug the relay...
I had a similar happening on an 85 vf500 I owned, except the keeper didn't pop out, but was on the verge of doing so. The problem in that case...
If you buy it...it should be "dirt" cheap...and looked over carefully. That many miles on a viffer is unusual. You may find you're entering a...
Hmm...I was never able to read the signal to the fuel pump relay from the coil reliably. Perhaps you could with a "peak" type voltmeter, but at...
It's not the starter button that triggers it...It's your ignition system. The wire in question is either blue or yellow (I don't remember which,...
If you have any questions regarding that fuel pump circuit, airgreasemonkey...post 'em. I'm quite familiar with how that circuit works.
Ya fixed it slacker...good job. The connection at the source is often overlooked.
I always remove the slow mixture screw, spring, washer and oring when I do V4 carbs, as well as inspect float level. I kinda doubt if that's why...
As a full time tech for over 25 years...I've done literally thousands of oil changes, and seen plenty of other's work as well. Here's my two...
I didn't mean to infer that's the problem with your turnsignals...in fact it's highly unlikely...I was just using it as an example. I like the...
Well...there's two kind of wiring problems...opens and shorts. When a connection is not being made, it's an open circuit...no fuse is blown....
Yes by all means! Libations for the good tech. I personally never forget a cash tip either. It was wise on your part to do all you can to...
Take a compression test.
Yes!!! have the air cleaner base on when you "shoehorn" those carbs in. Loosen BOTH intake boot clamps as loose as they go. Silicone spray is a...
3000RPM seems a bit high for carb synch to make much difference. On bikes that synch is way off...I have noticed popping at idle and at...
Suppose it could be dang near anything. I highly doubt it's the fuel filter though. I personally would take a close look at battery connections...
Hmmm...A rodents nest, huh? The tach bouncing (I'm assuming erratically) makes it sound electrical. Check your battery terminals and make sure...
Separate names with a comma.
