There are a number of factors (sometimes a combination) that can cause chatter. When do you feel it? Mine was most violent at the 1-2 shift. Some days I can still get a little shutter depending on track condition/launch & shift RPM etc. Running on asphalt I assume you use a lockup? Do you use cork based fibers? Without getting into a big drawn out post my best advice would be to increase both primary spring pressure and lockup arm weight to stop the chatter then work back to find the combination that works for your setup. If you want to try one change I'd add primary pressure first..... *Once you get a handle on it and only in a pinch - If you have a little suprise chatter develop out of the blue a splash of GM limited slip additive can help tame it.

Want some broken steels to accompany those fibers? lol... Been there done that. We run asphalt - It's caused by clutch chatter You can usually feel what seems like the chain jumping the rear sprocket.

Can't say as I ever used B-12 in the fuel as an injector cleaner but I use it all the time in their spray and liquid form. By far the strongest carb cleaner type solvent I've ever used. Great stuff.

I'll take it but don't know if we'll get the paypal done before I leave for the track in about a 1/2 hour. I sent a PM. Shoot me your paypal address I'll do a paypal gift first thing tomorrow if we don't get it done before I need to leave. Thanks

I run 1/4 mile. My alcohol motors beat the hell out of the intake side of the pistons in one season. Pistons in our gas motors are good to go for years. I tear down after every season to inspect them.

Where can I get the best price on a new one? Thanks

Heres a good read on jetting. http://www.maultechatv.com/techguides/carbtuning.php

The factory gear can break if the motor kicks back when starting. This happens most often in bigger "built" motors with advanced timing. There's also a weak spot around the kicker area of the clutch cover itself that will sometimes bust out.

Don't have to be Vitos - Just need to match the V-2 cage For as long as the V-2's were around somebody has got to have a pair. You might even have a pair and not realize it. They're rectangle holes with rounded edges.. Can send a picture if you pm me. Thanks guys

If your still looking - I have a pair $15.00 shipped Priority USPS to your door.

I did a bunch of chops when our 1/4 mile drag motors were on gas. This was perfect for us during the summer months. A tad lean (1 jet size ) in the fall. It was with highly oxygenated VP CMP fuel which is no longer made. I'd say your real close but don't forget that what your looking at is only reading the main curcuit. Might go up one if there's no loss in performance.

Thanks Scott but I have both the Chariot intakes and matching cages. Going to do a same day swap at the track (1/4mile) next season to compare ET's

Thanks for the reply. I've been trying like crazy to come up with a good set. Are the Pro Designs sold today the same style as the ones your old bike had? I've got an unknown set that are excellent and a set of Vitos that match up also. Both have good heavy duty boots. The set you spoke of on ebay do match. I have a pair of those on my wifes bike but they have thin Mikuni boots and aren't very stout. The Trinity and Chariots that I got are cut much larger than my V-2 cages so there is a big ledge that disrupts airflow.

Hasn't anyone got a pair of intakes that match the old V Force 2 cages?? I don't mind if I have to buy new boots.

The newest intakes I've bought are from Chariot and Trinity. They both have a larger internal throat that doesn't match up to V-Force 2 cages. The ledge crated where they bolt together has got to disrupt airflow. Does anyone know of an intake thats being made these days that match up correctly? Thanks

Carbs need to be balanced to the rest of your setup and riding style. I'm a full out balls to the wall 1/4 mile asphalt racer. There are a bunch of good guys on the site that have similar setups to yours that can make recommendations.

Yes sir. They gum up. Pretty bad sometimes but it will clean off. I'd spray and work the rod & wrist pin bearings while your there.

Looking for a couple pair for 39mm Let me know what you have.

If all was good when it was parked then I'd agree with the last two posters. The rings are stuck... When they sit around and the fuel dries off the oil glues them up good. That happens all the time to used pistons sitting on my bench. Bearigs will do the same thing. You'll be able to bring it back to pre storage condition without a rebuild etc.

Thanks for replying to my post Beastydeuce. Maybe hearing first hand from an HQ member will keep someone else from the same fate and help spread the word . I'm really sorry for your health problems and hope the best for you. Ted

I agree BigRed. It's cool that you read and follow up on the safe use of products you use. You'll probably be in better shape than me when you reach my age lol. Unfortunately I think people become desensitized because warning labels and dangers are so prevalent in our daily lives. Heck, there isn't anything made that won't cause cancer in the State of California. Not everyone's lucky enough to have a state of the art shop. Countless DIYer's only have home garages or machinery sheds to work out of. I'm sure certified welders are schooled on the dangers of brake cleaner and wouldn't be surprised if most in the trade don't need to use it. In this case even good ventilation or open doors may not be enough. A few whiffs of smoke is all thats needed to cause deadly heath problems. We all seem to have the ability to gauge dangerous situations and avoid those with immeadiate deadly consiquence but unless something will drop us in our tracks those with cummulative effects such as smoking (I don't), getting methanol, gasoline or carb cleaner on our skin etc, possibly even cell phone use we tend to not be as careful. I hope my post isn't was just another warning that gets ignored.....

You most likely seized a piston and will find the tranny is fine. The video is helpful but you need to get a manual for sure. Also, The top case bolts final torque is only 7.2 ft lbs. not 20 as said in the video.

True that the argon turned it into phosgene which is extremley dangerous but when burned it releases corrosive gasses that can cause big problems and damage. Just want everyone to be safe...

This info isn't new but I hope to spread the word to those who may be unaware of the dangers of using brake cleaner around flame or welding. When I originally found out about it I thought I'd warned my son until he recently told me that he was almost overtaken when working with it in the garage with a kerosene heater going. Hearing that made my blood run cold! He hadn't used that much or sprayed it towards the heater. Here's the link that will hopefully keep a tragady from happening. http://www.brewracingframes.com/id75.htm

What can I say. Jimmy's a real asset to the HQ Everything about our deal was AAA+ Wish all me dealings on used parts were as good.
