Hay Dick Those "new age-edge" design isn't up to my taste. Clasical shapes are much closer to me. Also why 150 HP or so due 130/kmh limited max..like new...

Gentlemen and Ladies, I've just survived a terrible Quota weekend, and need your wisdom, experience, insight and best guesses as to the source of my problem. ...
I think you did great when the tire went flat. You got home and that was that. Misfiring and then dead after 1 - 2 hours, hmmn, - - 180$ S... ! - - - . Blowing...
Hi Charlie, Earning good stories to tell around the campfire is never fun at the time :> In reading your story, I think you came across the solution...
Erling, Thanks for the input and any enlightenment you might shed on this. I haven't yet checked all the wiring, just the two leads which go to the fuel pump...
Greg, Thanks. I'll have to check how the regulator is grounded; I have not added anything to the stock set-up, and it has always (until now) charged very...

Hi Alan, To diagnose, start from the back and work your way forward. (1) Remove wheel and check bearings (2) Remove rear drive and check how it moves (3)...
Hi George, I've often wondered if the Q was afflicted with those bearings. Ug. I really ought to go in there and pre-emptively change them out...but that isn't...
Charlie, this has nothing to do with your Q, but I thought I would share it, anyway... A buddy of mine just bought (from insurance auction) a wrecked 2006 BMW...
Sounds like the pump was cavitating - just spinning air. That happens sometimes, as it cannot create enough of a vacuum to pull in the liquid and prime...
Lario, Thanks. Fortunately, I removed the petcock solenoids several years ago and installed the manual type. Huge improvement. Now that I'm messing with all...
Give the owner of Zydeco a call. We spoke at length about the process and I'm now convinced that when I want to do this, I will send it to him. About 40-50...
