It really is a nice event, very spectator friendly, sort of like the old days where you'd load up the wife and ride over to watch the hillclimb on Sunday...
I know Harold Waddell a little bit. He has raced in some of the mini races we had in Norfolk. This is going to show my age a little. I also knew his Grandpa...
... Anybody here remember the Anthon,IA hillclimb from the 70's? I made it close enough to the top on the first run that the workers pulled me on up and over -...
I guess I'll have to play it by ear. If it isn't snowing or raining too hard I'll make it. My cage... my 88 Toyota finally bit the dust, so my 91 Bronco has...
I just wanted to see if "First Saturday" was on. I could not find any posts about it, and the weather does not look good, but breakfast sounds good, and my...
Mike: Sorry. I will be unable to make it tomorrow morning. MSF updates in Des Moines on both Saturday and Sunday. I hope to see everyone in May though. Dave...
... It starts pretty well, but I've tried 5 different main jets and playing with the needle and can't get it running smoothly. Suspect maybe reeds, crank...
you may be expecting too much. I've never thought those old 2 smokes were ever smooth. seemed like they were all or nothing most times. anything less than...
"Running smoothly" was a poor choice of words. It just totally bogs out once you get above 1/4 throttle or so. Every now and then it will clear it's throat for...
I should have some video of it available soon so maybe you gurus can diagnose it just from the sound ;-) (M - vid taken by helmet cam of Mark W, the guy who...
if you haven't changed the reeds, that would be my first step. they wear and age and have a service life. I'm not sure how far I would go beyond that, but I...
have you had a 2 stroke before? maybe your jetting isn't jiving with your oil ratio? I've always been lucky with my jetting set ups but its always been...
check that the exhaust isn't full of carbon and oil deposits. that p200 vespa my wife bought did almost the same thing. figure out the exhaust was so clogged...
Thanks for the ideas. I doubt the exhaust could be that clogged up on this thing, it's HUGE. I know the silencer is fine, you can see right through it. The old...
doing the top end of a 2 stroke is comparable to a valve job on a modern 4 stroke. however, I do understand that if you have it out and start taking things...
correction: jets that were waay to BIG. too much fuel. --r ... From: solomrus@... To: nebraskamotorcycleriders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wed, 8 Apr 2009...
i'm interested in it, but i really don't have the time or the space to dick with it right now. but, out of curiousity, what kind of money are you talking mike?...
I got up for work AGAIN, this morning(Already, half of this list cant relate), and decided to wear my brand new helmet on my comute. It has been sitting in...
My name is Wayne and have lived most of my life in Waterloo, IL. I tour with wife Ginny on our 2005 Concours and quite often with my brother with his 2006 BMW...
