  1. Probably need to add another cylinder and big bore to both. No I'm not kidding.
  2. Stan you are killin me with those dyno's!!! I think the gremlin takes the modifiate banshee at around 15,0000 rpm.
  3. No it will not harm your stator. Though the temp guage may only be accurate at a certain input voltage. So it may not be accurate at all rpm's.
  4. Check your flywheel to pick-up coil clearance. You may have messed that up when you pulled the flywheel. If this is not it, check your jetting. Hows the choke working? Make sure your floats aren't sticking by tapping the sides of the carbs. You may pull the bowls and make sure you don't have some oil gum build up causing some issue's after it sits a few days.
  5. Happy B-Day BFS!!! <~~ near beer, sorry!!, lol
  6. If you can't tell by the odor due to the mixture, race gas mix should have less of a petroleum smell. The race gas mix will also evaporate quicker. Might poor the same amont of both in a small glass and the one which level drops quicker I would guarantee would be the race gas. Race gas mix will feel colder to the touch due to quicker exaporation as well.
  7. Yes increasing your timing will increase combustion pressures somewhat. It will in turn increase your horsepower throughout. Anytime you increase power you increase heat and wear. To me it is minimal and worth the benefit. Though I've yet to ever wear anything out before I replace it with something bigger and better.
  8. Suspension or porting.
  9. Do a search, lots of info on it. RPM Domintors are the best built and have the best warranty in the business based on my research and experience.
  10. It's your winter to summer jetting. You need to go up on the pilot as you may be lean on the pilot as is during the summer months, this would make it really hard to start in the winter.
  11. haha ya beat me to the punch!!
  12. I sure can relate to that statement.
  13. That means another rash of hepatitis c going around.
  14. Haha, good one meat. Happy Birthday Stan!!!
  15. Anyone know how hot a forge gets with a mere propane source and some insulation? Definitly hot enough to melt steel, easily.These guys were trying to compare fire in building minus jet fuel and make this comparison. Do people think what would happen to the ground floor of the WTC buildings when such a side force or impact happens near the top? Think about it! As for the other explosions, what about all the internal transformers and fuel tanks. As the building is collapsing, wouldn't it act like a plunger, transfering pressures to lower floor as the top is coming down? Don't these hot gasses need to escape? Looks like explosion yes, but seems to me these pressures need to vent somewhere. no? On a side note, most planes that crash are trying to be landed safely with a controlled decent. These planes were crashed with engines at full throttle. The only time you see this type of evidence in a crash is when a plane runs into the side of a mountain at full speed. The planes totally desentigrate and practically disappear. So no, it's not what most people expect with a crash because this is not usually how it happens. That hole in the ground in Pa looked about the same size as the hole in the pentagon. Just think of the video of the fighter test plane running into the concrete reiforced wall. Where did it go? dissapeared didn't it. Becuase it was flying at full speed, boom gone! You can take those enitire planes and compact them down into the size of small bus at the speeds they crashed at. Add the affect of full engine speed, rapid drop from high altitude, and you have a flying missile. I'm sure most people were not use to hearing planes fly at these speeds, as most never hit the speeds these planes were flying at. So I would think they would sound different as well. Just tsome things to ponder.
  16. I would start somewhere around 50-55 on the pilot, 160-165 on the main, CEL needle mid clip. As far as the front nuts, I had to take the round end of a box wrench and grind the out side down enough for it to slide over the nut. Then all you can do is torque by feel.
  17. I guess we better not race, we may run into each other.
  18. Happy Birthday Ben!!
  19. Where are you located? Site looks good. Get some pics up of your polish work. You guys do motorcycle calipers?
  20. Accidently floated my Honda 200m back in the day in about 20ft of water. Thing flated like a boat and right side up. Was a little hard swimming it to shore though.
  21. Russ is awesome, dude is so into his work he'll talk to you for 30 mins about 1 bolt.
  22. Good illustration, appreciate your time and effort. A question though. What do you need a spacer plate for? Cubs don't require a spacer plate since each cub is already casted for the stroke. They do require cut domes and 795 series or blaster pistons depending on 65mm or 68mm bore size.
  23. Nope haven't sold it yet, still undecided. I really want to wait after the LS ride to make the decision. Finally got the Mitsu all set-up. Hellofa pic with a 1080i source. My 32" LG lcd looks better with cable but it has the upconversion for cable. It also doubles as my computer monitor.
