After cleaning tanks with muratic acid, electrolisys, drain cleaner, chains, and roofing nails, I found a product that cleaned out the rust and prevented the...
Tom, what a great post! Yamaha at one time sold an excellent tank cleaner but it was taken off the market several years ago. Like you, I have tried many...
When it comes to leaky or seeping tanks, I like Por-15. I've seen Kreem peel off and foul carbs too often to consider it as an acceptable product. I have seen...
To clean out rust in tanks I have used MSR or Milk Stone Remover with great success, it is a phosphoric acid based product and leaves a zinc like coating...
Honda still has the coils and I ordered one for the CM200t. It was over a $100 but I am ready to ride. Yesterday I took the old front tire and a replacement...
Hi all, I hope that you are getting out to enjoy the weather. Here's my situation (keeping me from getting out there with you), my ride will start but as soon...
Fair enough. Is that the one with the holes down the side? If it is, I cleaned it really good and used a paint brush bristle to ensure the holes were not...
Sounds like you cleaned it good. Still, if the primary is running good, it sounds plugged. I put an inline filter in mine to keep tank crud out. Could your...
Rich, I've been redoing carbs for more than 50 years on every imaginable internal combustion engine. They can work perfectly one day and hardly run the next....
Mike and Dean, Thanks for stickin with it. I was hoping not to have to do this, but something could have got in there from the tank. I am goign to take it...
Rich, I am a member of other motorcycle groups including a HUGE Honda Shadow group. The VERY BEST info on tank cleaning has come from this group. Go back to...
There are volumes on tank cleaning - but I would still add a $3 inline filter. I use a small plastic VW filter from Autozone (FF2314). Plugged one up on my...
Here's something I posted to another list a couple of years ago. A little wisdom I thought I'd share with you all here. What's tougher than rust but weaker...
... Tom, I have read many posts on various groups over the years about using aluminum foil to clean off rust, but I believe yours was the best post of them...
I use the ball of foil to clean my grill. It is the same idea, cleaning rust from the grill. Sounds like a good idea for the Twinstar too. ... discovered ......
I am still waiting for my new Honda coil. Does anyone know the test procedure for this type of coil and what the specs (ohms) should be? Nothing in the manual....
Coil is here and I installed a new set of points. Now I am charging the battery and after 14 hours it is still not holding a charge. This time I want a gel...
... I upgraded to a glass mat battery for my Shadow VLX, but not the Twinstar. In fact, the battery I have in the Twinstar right now is actually a 14 amp-hour...
I looked online. Could not find any in 12a capacity. Went to the local dealer and tried to buy a Yuasu but it was too $$$. He wanted $75 but I bought an off...
Hi folks, New member here. I have a Twinstar 200 that fires right up when cold. It'll run perfectly...until I turn it off. Once I've finished my Starbucks...
Flooding? Does it smell rich or puff black smoke? Usually this would foul plugs too. ... cold. It'll run ... short errand, she won't start. ... Then she...
Hi Robbie, How about giving the group a little more history on your bike. How long have you had it? Is this a new problem? Do you start your warm bike with...
Hi there. We've had the bike for over almost 2 years. I don't know if this is a new problem because we (dad and I) had never rode the bike where we started...
This is probably not the solution but worth a try. Check your fuel line. Make sure it had no uphill bends, just smooth down hill curve to the carb. If it won't...
Thanks Tom, I'll give it a shot. Robbie ... From: TOM SHINN <tsdsisbsms@...> To: HondaTwinstar@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 10:06:34 PM ...
