I’ve followed along on this thread for a long time. I don’t think I’ve ever replied on anything because you’re on a different level than me, but just wanted to say I really have enjoyed seeing all the fabulous work you’ve done and are still doing. Great work :)
Looks like fun! Love the Suburban, too. I had the privilege of driving one in college. Guess who had two thumbs and was the designated driver all the time?
I can see that we are getting close to some type of spring weather here in Michigan, so I got the Honda out again to finish up some things that were on the to-do list.
I installed a new chain, installed a new AGM battery, installed a Trailtech Vapor speedometer/tachometer, ordered and installed...
Thank you Luugo86 for the words of encouragement! And thank you to all who have responded. Gaining knowledge from everyone’s past experience is what this forum is all about! And each little setback is met with small wins that eventually win the war.
With that being said, I am happy to report...
It’s amazing how many little things show up when you think you’re just about done.
I saw some rubber shavings on the frame and figured out that the rear tire was rubbing on the rear fender when the shocks are compressed. To remedy this, I took the fender off. But now I need to figure out a...
I am looking for a rear wheel spacer for a CB 200. It’s not the spacers on the outside of the wheels, it’s the one that goes inside between the bearings.
Also, I’m looking for a red, turning on/off switch located on the right side controls.
Took some time and went salmon fishing for the last few weeks. I had quite a bit of luck, and am back home now.
So today, I went back to working on my bike (carburetors).
I left the carburetors on the bike but took off the bowls, took out the floats and swapped the main jets to a #100. I...
Adventurco-Thank you for your wisdom. I thought about that very fact after I posted, but I never changed it.
So my mixture screw is on the air cleaner side. Therefore, according to what I have read, and what you have added, my mixture screw meters air. I was thinking that the mixture screw...
I finally had a chance to see how the air meter works, and I’m glad that I got it. It’s nice to know both carbs are in sync (incoming air) with each other.
With that being said, everything was running pretty good, but then when it got hot, it did run different. I think the floats are not set...
I’m so glad I went through the carburetors. I learned so much! I’m really surprised it ran!
I feel they are both dialed in now, and I reinstalled them and even added new fuel lines. (I went as far as buying a carburetor air intake meter to finalize the synchronization.)
I found some #98...
Thank you! Now that I have the time, it’s fun getting back into it and doing everything I wanted to do.
Today I put gas in the tank and started it up. I have no idea how to tune two carburetors (I would take it to the shop to get done ) but I’m gonna learn.
I believe I got the mufflers from...
The exhaust was just a bit too loud, so I bought some new baffles and wrapped them with some fiberglass. Next I need to find a spark arrestor for both pipes.
A lot has happened since I was last on here. All is good! Took some time to look over the other projects on here and am glad to see people are still being creative and I applaud everyone for documenting their journey.
As for me, I finally took the time to return to my project. Recently, I had...
It’s been some time, but I finally finished my project, I’ve decided to just tool around on some property I have, so no road use. It was a lot of fun to build, and I made it super simple.
