  1. Ya, they can be difficult to get ahold of. Maybe investigate the MSD set up or see if you can get in touch with a rep at MSD. Otherwise, your total loss system is a total loss.....
  2. CC them. Screw in spark plug, hold dome upside down. Place piece of plexi glass with small hole drilled over mating surface. Load liquid syringe full to CC mark. Fill dome with syringe. Note new measurement and subtract it from the full amount. The difference will be the dome's CC
  3. < would pulverize civil lawyer's face and rob payment back to hire criminal lawyer.
  4. Why would you not investigate the carbs beforehand?
  5. Have you contacted FTZ? They are still in business. Never had that thing on a bike in my hands, but I'd assume you need their flywheel or machine your own to match theirs. Are you only missing the key? And.... OEM has proven it self. Many different crazes in ignition have came and went, while OEM is tried and true. Lotta fast bikes on stock stuff.
  6. JD, hurry up. Need some ASAP.
  7. Stinkin' safety wire, pshhh..... Junk just weighs to darn much! (Joke) But seriously, is there any way to do an entire kit like the stainless stuff comes? I'd imagine it'll be costly, but if you did every thing, even a few parts in the motor in titanium, there is an easy 10-12ish lbs. weight savings
  8. No welding/epoxy?
  9. Well, that's a new one on me. Not like any PVL I've dealt with. Any idea who made it?
  10. I'll see if I got any. I need to update both photobucket and taptalk as neither is letting me post photos lately.
  11. Drag racing now is a bit different then the regular ol' motocross holeshot. Drag guys typically have the whole bike set up for a rapid clutch drop and maybe some will feather the clutch to correct the front end. For some one like you, I'd stick toward the motocross holeshot. Takes practice on different surfaces to learn how much clutch/throttle and she to use each. When you come to the line get on the brake. Some prefer rear, I use the front brakes. Now with the brake holding you and throttle up ( start low, then progressively try higher RPM) start to feather the clutch so that you can feel the bike starting to load up against the brakes to the point it is beginning to almost push or lurch. On the signal, simaltaneously release the clutch and roll in to the throttle hard. Never let the clutch out completely till you have control. Just lightly feather it to slip a bit to keep the front end in it's happy place. Never chop the throttle, or use the brake or the race is lost. It also just adds more variables to the situation. Using the brake to control wheelies is for just play wheelieing, not controlling a holeshot.
  12. ^ EXACTLEY. Not IF, more like I HAVE had a friend/S fuck me over even after trying to help them get their shit together multiple times. That is why I left the transmission and liquidation/scrap industry. One figured it out, the other is still lost.
  13. He said he has the texts. Texts hold up just fine in court. Just ask the poor fuck who tried to pre sell 25k in expanded foam bumper inserts he bought from me a few years ago. His deal fell through so suddenly he had to come up with the money out of his pocket. He tried the whole "I got fucked so you're fucked." routine. He was wrong and the judge agreed. The only proof of an agreement was texts.
  14. Yes, that's why I posted their name. TDR stocks them.
  15. Frigg! I need to do mine ASAP. Any interest in selling another set of those inserts?
  16. God damn those are killer! I just used the silver ones on my buddy's bike and I really dig the access nut.
  17. Would you ever consider doing a write up on proper re winding?
  18. Keihin's like 2-3 turns Mikunis are good with about 1 1/2-2 turns Need different jets if those are not close.
  19. Not knowing what melts a two stroke down No clue how to tune Buying a bike built for "racing" on craigslist Bolting parts on and not tuning for them Having a bike in complete disrepair
  20. ^ exactley what I did after I ate water about 5 years ago ice racing and turned my crank rods in to pretzels. Worked just fine and looks good. If you pan ahead and add tabs to make them quickly removable it helps. Might put Dzeus fasteners on mine.
  21. WSM has decent big bore options and you might need to have that head worked as well as the ports if it's originally a kit for stock stroke.
  22. If you have texts showing your arrangement, that is good enough to stand in court as a binding agreement.
  23. That's not a shabby idea. Probably means you don't get shit every where.
