Wargo, how did this go? Still riding with 3 caps? Are you still alive!?

 

[wargo522]

yea i'm alive. it ran fine for 3 months. other then being a little lean. but i got board of not working on something so i ripped her apart and started from the ground up. i'll post pics when i'm all done. or when something good happens.

but i may actually be starting a internship at J&B Moto Co in wrightsville, pa soon so i may get lucky and be able to do some cool shit

Rock on. I just got my #80 and #79 drill bits to start fixing the pilots....these drill bits are so FREAKING tiny. I'm not sure I even have anything to hold them with. I suppose I should start posting in my other thread again...also if you haven't been here, this is some GREAT info.

There is a stupid amount of good info on jetting for us.

i got a bit set from my snap on dealer that is for cleaning jets and shit. it has a grippy holder 6 or 7 bits with it. i think it was 20 bucks

 

[MotorbikeBruno]

I'll see about that. Thanks.

 

[wargo522]

oh they are perfect for enlarging your jets. sense its titaniam bits and brass jets.

I got away with using my dremel. Drilled out to #79 or .037, haven't had a chance to start playing with it yet. But it was a hell of a lot easier to start, now for some adjusting. Any more progress on yours?

i'm just waiting to find a place to get it the frame and motor mediablasted. then get back and start mocking things up. build a another fiberglass seat and front fender. then sand and paint everything. itll probably be done by jan. just in time to sit in the garage somemore

I hear ya! But think of it this way....at least you don't have to rush... :

this is veryy true. unlike earlier this year when i had 3 months to get it going. so i couldnt take it completely apart like i did on this build
