Vancouver, WA or Vancouver Canadia? :ermm:

The energy density difference is actually about 34% for E85 compared to gasoline........... The 60% number was a typo on my part. I was attempting to type 30%, but my fat fingers got in the way. :biggrin:

Maxima 927 is a pure castor based and mixes well with alcohol. Most of the drag racers around here us it. My Klotz R50 Supertechniplate bottle that I have says it is not for use with alcohol fuel on the back. Am I missing something? :geek:

The 105 octane figure is BS. I am not sure who conjured that, but generally that's not how alcohol fuels propensity to combust is measured. Remember that just like other alcohol fuels, you will use approximately 60% more fuel for a given amount work compared to a gasoline based fuel. :geek:

$420 shipped is what I was thinking about.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...E:IT&ih=016 This is the PVL system I decided not to use on my blue bike. It's in better than new condition (wiring is put together better). It works fine and it comes with the necessary two kill switches.

Word.

That's why you should buy one of our new engines............ They get far better fuel economy. :geek:

You probably need to measure youre squish band to see if you are maybe way out of tolerance and have the piston hitting the head.

I think you probably have to be into diesel stuff or the trucking business to know that these days.......

I smell BS.............. There is no way even a really high output engine physically deformed the sprocket hub without damaging the splines or sprocket................ Unless someone was heating the hub up to about 2400 degrees F while they were riding. :ermm:

You cannot hear reeds opening and closing. I hear the noise in the vedo you are talking about and I suspectyou might have a little bit of a mis-fire going on their at idle. :geek:

Engine Ice is premixed with water, so all you have to do is pour it in. :geek:

I think the word we needed to key into in my last post was properly. You can use a dremel to make a plate out of a pieve of cheese for all I care.

The sig pic is my company's logo........... :ermm:

I think he said he tried there and they didn't have anything.............. :ermm:

Why are you selling all your nice new stuff?

Sell a testicle to a university for research...............

FYI you need a rotary table on a mill to do that particular bit of machine work properly. :geek:

Try Boaters World or Camping World. :geek:

I mostly agree however, there is a large group of people on PS with big credit limits who don't do any of their own work, but claim to know everything about everything. They pass off something they heard from their builder as fact to people who don't know any better and thus continue the giant PS circle jerk. :ermm:

I'm guessing I just lost something in the kick start cluster, but I won't know until I take it apart next week.

Only if you dressed your penis up like a pirate and were molesting my clutch cover. :cool:

..............and now that I have been fooling around with the bike for a bit, the thing kicked back on me on broke something in the kick start geartrain. Now, if I kick the kick start lever, it moves down very easily and never engages to turn the engine over. Do any of you guys have any ideas about what I am going to find broken when I pull the clutch cover off? :geek:

I think Vito's had developed it's own weird market niche that cater's to the individual who just bought a hot new bike, has some mechanical knowledge, and wants to start midifying their bike without knowing too much about the particular bike. If I find someone who has a set of these things, I will make sure to post some pictures up of them. I would be willing to bet that the exhaust ports are ok, but I would also venture a bet that the intake side of port setup are not that they shoulf be (if they were, you would probabl see it on the outside of the castings). IMO for hinest people worried about stock appearance, you can hide a set of cubs pretty well. If I get ahold of a new bike one of these days, I think it would be fun to see how much you could get out of a stock appearing bike (including remade expansion chambers). I think someone down in SoCal already did something like that, but I seem to g=have lost the pictures of it. :geek:
