Umm yeah what he said, but remember to Turn off the ignition and fuel before you start kicking.

You CAN... but it leaves you high and dry if for any reason you end up with a slow leak without knowing about it. It's better to just relocate it. The small hoses run from the back of the case to a T which 90's into the water pump, and the other side runs somewhere else. I'd have to go look.

Really, the benefits of Toluene have to be weighed against the costs. The best way to go high octane is the cheapest -- just because the differences between the options are so minimal. I ran small amounts of toluene on my stock compression shee because it smoothed out my top end...but ended up switching over to VP because I can get 110 octane unleaded VP for $3.50 but avgas and Tol were $5+ for me. Whatever works.

That is exactly what happened to me on my last plug chop. Except on the left Also, mine smokes some from both cylinders at idle. this is normal right?

Good, I did and I love it. Anyone that hasn't advanced your timing yet, go do it. Now.

this is a great forum. awesome. But my friend, who rides a raptor 350, needs the same kinda info i get here, but we can't find a decent 350 / Raptor forum, anyone know of one?

Maybe in Cali but in AZ we just need a muffler (check) headlights (check) taillights (check) Signals (arms, check) _A_ mirror (check) Horn (Check) Plate (Check) I have all of these already for my shee, it's legal on the street...but like that R1 shee, except using the stock setup, not a different engine. Wide A-Arms and axles for a wide track, maybe two mirrors off the ends of the bars... I've heard of the mini-tach, but is there a speedo that could be hooked up to a shee?

Has anyone ever built a shee designed for street use? Not a drag bike, but a true road machine, like a crotchrocket with 4 wheels. I think it would be kindof a neat idea. Get longer A-arms, extended axles, twist throttle... or maybe this just occurs to me because It's possible in Arizona? I dunno.

*Bump* Should I up a jet before advancing or not?

Did a plug chop yesterday, it looks very similar to 2stroker's chop, so I think i'm good on my main, right now a 320. I'd like to go ahead and advance the timing +4, and I already have a RS adjustable timing plate. Should I bump up to a 330 before advancing the timing, or advance and see how it goes? BTW...when doing the the chop yesterday, before doing the actual run, I topped it in 5th, kept it running, clutch in, no throttle, and whitish smoke began pouring out of the left side pipe. It was still coming out at idle, so I shut it down for a minute then started it back up, and it ran fine, no smoke, so I continued with my chop. No more smoke after that. Any ideas?

Use a higher quality paint. Fusion sounds cool and all, but chances are if you have to shake the can before spraying, it won't last. A friend's we did last weekend cost him $54 for all the chemicals, a beautiful metallic gunmetal color, sprayed awesomely, no chips, very durable finish.

I'm from the turbo saturn world. We use WBo2's and the Megasquirt to give us the fuel we need for boost. If your header WBo2 tells Mega to lean you out, it's all over. I've never head that toluene drys up your seals, which are the ones to worry about? float bowl seal?

Running heavy ratios of Toluene for long durations is known to cause O2 sensor malfunctions, but not bad for your engine. (Till your o2 wigs out and leans you to hell)

Yeah, if you run straight Toluene it can be difficult to start because of the high firing point of toluene. Find a painter friend, they usually can get these chemicals at great discounts.

For anyone interested in running Toluene race fuels, Here are a few tables I compiled a while back. For 5 gallons of gas OCTANE | Toluene in Gallons 91 0 92 .23 93 .5 94 .75 95 1.1 96 1.4 97 1.8 98 2.2 99 2.7 100 3.3 101 4 102 4.7 103 5.5 104 6.6 105 7.8 I originally made the tables for turbo cars. If anyone wants more numbers crunched, I can make a graph for it. While on the topic, what effect does running straight toluene have on a shee? It's not very good for our modern cars because of emissions equipment and the like, but I'm not all the knowlegeable about it's effect on small engines. Leme know.
