That's really funny, Mike! I did that with my Ford Diesel. Changed out the throttle assembly. . .and it was just out of gas! LOL! Thanks again! Cheers! Jack ...
My '87 came with the factory radio and speakers and covers. But, one cover was missing, and the speakers were shot. Having trouble finding small speakers, I...
Hey Tom! For speaker grills, try a shop which installs radios. They often have some left-over ones which can be made to fit. Listenin' to the music in TN, ...
Tom, I'm not sure as to what you are needing for your speaker grills, but I have used automobile body trim ( like used on doors, to keep the dings to a...
Anyone have any thoughts about increasing the range on the Helix? The only thing missing from the Helix that prevents it from being a tourer is the tiny gas...
good subject, the iron butt rally account that i read a while back talked about a custom tank that i believe was 5 gal? it sounded like an involved process...
These are quite a number of auxiliary gas tanks made for cycles and cars that can simply be carried along and used to refuel the Helix tank when low (probably ...
This is something I have wondered about too. I'd rather 'fight than switch' as the cigarette ad used to say, cuz I love my Helix! I'm no tourer and doubt...
Well, when I go touring, I usually have a duffel bag strapped in the rear seat for extra luggage and back rest! ;) I think either a tank on the rear seat or...
... Why not build a wooden platform for the step-thru area and strap a 2 1/4 gallon gas can to it? This will give you a total range of over 300 miles. Most...
Consider safety issues if the bike goes down or is hit,,,,??? You don't want to be dossed with gasoline with potential sparks around. Charles ... From:...
In reading about your situation, I have to ask a rather...stupid question: did you check to see if your drive belt broke? The same thing happened to me on...
I and others have asked and commented on questions regarding helix clones lately, and I, after several weeks of intensive research worldwide, on internet and...
Ray's way certainly seems like the easiest, simplest, and cheapest way to carry more fuel, for those who want to. And I agree with Ray. Even if my behind or ...
toliver - You mentioned that it felt as though you hit the kill switch. Many years ago my 750 Honda did the same thing and I found ( after checking for spark...
Could someone please give me some suggestions for removing the plastic panels from the back of my Helix? I tried to follow the instructions in the service...
Charles, what kind of paint did you use on the muffler and did you need to sandt he rust off or was it a rustoleum type of paint? Rest in Peace America, it was...
Your have to remove the passenger hand rails and the screws on the front and back of the "lower" gray panels. Take off the lower panels and you will see the...
... But removing the lower panel is the problem... I studied the service manual for a while during my lunch break. If I'm reading this correctly, part of the...
It does hook into the rear "mud flap". It is held in place by a screw. Just unscrew it (it's by the license plate) a screw by the reflector and two screws by...
All signs seem to point to a bad piston or rings or both. My mechanic brother checked compression and the tool read none. He threw a little oil in the top of...
toliver- I would look closely at the timing chain, when you remove the valve cover from the top of the engine. A bad piston and rings are possible, but...
Last night I put the helix back together and rode it around the block a few times. It took a few tries to start, but that could be due to sitting in the...
Charles, Be VERY CAREFUL driving with that new tire on the back. they are slippery ( not good traction) when new and need a some real miles on them to break...
Charles: I have had good luck using a small dose of Chevron Techron in the fuel to smooth a rough idle. You can get a can for a few bucks on sale, run a few...
Warren, how much is a "small dose"? Per tank of gas? Thanks, Susan_NJ Charles: I have had good luck using a small dose of Chevron Techron in the fuel to...
Susan: I usually put 1 or 2 ounces/gallon, more does not mean it works better. Many of the gas treatment/fuel injection cleaners are not as effective as the...
