mailman, can you check out this.. i had both bowls off and next to each other, i don't really see a difference other then a brass ball in one of them... ive never really had my shee running perfect (well, i also have nothing to compare it too) but its aways giving me some sort of problem from the previous owners... My Thread asking about bowls... with pics

how do i miss you guys? i only saw 1 shee in the parking lot on sunday, it didn't look like one i had seen before but it was with a bunch of other quads (kawasaki and i think a polaris)

cool, thanks...

well first off, i read the bowls are different left to right... but when i had them apart i was looking and didn't see anything different on the insides, and the one on the outside has a lil brass ball in it... (with pics) second question is that petcock on the bottom of the fuel tank... mine has a res (reserve), off, and on... i only get fuel if its in the res position.... not any of the others. WTF!!! do you guys have res?

sunday was the same way... except the peaks were gone

IT FUCKING LIVES!!! AND RUNS GREAT!!! now i gotta sinc the carbs (just to make sure that it right)

Umm I'm guessing I'm dumb but castor oil? Is that the normal 2 cycle mix?

ive been looking for something kinda like that double shifter for a while now, but i want to upshift with my heel... (lack of muscle to lift my foot, so upshifting takes my whole leg, or a retarded looking backwards hump...) so they make steel shifters... i might have to look into that...

Well ill be up there Sunday. So give my yalls number. Ill probably just be sitting around the garage. Right by the bumper cars

Sorry to rain on your parade but umm..... its suppose to rain on your parade

can some of you guys pm me your numbers, i'll be up sunday on this trip...

Interest in the filter... outterware?

Yeah. I'm gunna mess with it Sunday. Maybe meet a few of the guys too

sounds great, thanks a lot.

hey cody, what is the shipping cost on a motor to Wichita from michigan

cobalt, i may come up for the day in the jeep... just wanna meet some of you guys.

i have the sync tool, just don't know how to use it and also, the manual, and every tool other then the crank puller thing. (or is it flywheel) and the precise measurement tools. i just don't want to screw it up. papa, were you in silver last weekend? blue durango... i saw one that looks almost exactly like yours on sunday. also, lmk when you'll have time, or when you'll be in silver, im free every sunday through tuesday right now, and every other saturday. i'll try and run up there sunday and tap around, might rebuild the carbs (atleast pull them all apart and clean them out) which i know is pretty much a rebuild. i heard a few guys will be up on saturday and/or sunday, if i get it running, i'll bring it out on the dunes and see if someone can tell me its running right for a basicly stock shee. please, if you guys see this, pm me your number, i don't wanna bug you guys if you aren't gunna be there.

i wont be on the shee, as i doubt it will run, but i might run up there in a wrangler just to meet you guys...

yeah i have that lil tube on, and i only dis-assemble one at a time, so i don't miss any parts. i just got premium right before heading to silver to make sure i had some nice new fresh gas... the same gas ran great in a yz125 and 250 so id say the gas was good. it just doesn't seem like gas is making it through the carbs at all... for some odd reason. as for draining them out, i never knew it was really bad to run lean for a millisecond. but if it is, i'll stop doing that. whats the best thing to do for when im not going to ride for like 3-4 weeks? I have dealt with Jeff at FAST before, seemed like a great guy, just was thinking shipping an engine would be rediculous in price, and also i was kinda looking for a place that i could take the while shee to when i have problems. I am asking on here to find a good one in west michigan, or one of the guys in the area that have them, saw a few locations being grand rapids and a few being muskegon, and those are very close to me. i really don't wanna get raped, my dad swears by the yamaha dealer in town but they never seem to do a decent job on my shee. so i don't like them.

ok, so i had it running last weekend, ran the fuel out of the carbs (turned off fuel till it died out) and went to start it yesterday, my float was stuck, pouring fuel out of the left carb bowl tube. took the bowl off and blasted it with carb cleaner, buttoned it back up, and couldn't get it to fire. it will run if i shoot some starter fluid in but only for a min (till it burns off) so im guessing something is clogged (one of the jets... or all of them) am i right to think that? also, at the same time, i don't think the shop sync'd the carbs properly, and i really dunno what im doing with these things. have the sync tool, but without it running, i can't check that at all. and don't get how to use the sync tool really. finally, anyone in west michigan that can check this thing out, the shee is at silver lake right now, but in the next few weeks i should have a trailer that i can bring it to GR or somewhere. is there any good reputable shops, or people out there? finally, i have a second motor, all torn down, but i know the crank twisted. i want it built. nothing special, but its gotta kick over every time, and take sand well... if that makes sense. where should it go, and whats the cost. new crank is needed, rings, pistons... im not even positive that the block is good. but don't trust the local machine shops and wanna know if its still good.

well, i thought this was last weekend... wondering why i didn't see anyone. i'll try and make it up this coming weekend also, maybe i'll be able to. anyone up there have a free few minutes to check out my shee if i can make it up... won't get gas through the carbs.

i live in holland, my shee is in silver at my folks cottage... down town silver

well, i'll run up there in the morning and swap the plugs out... im basicly an idiot when it comes to the shee... i know my civic very well but don't know this thing at all... anyone in the GR, mi area wanna teach me a thing or 2?

ok sweet, i'll do that in the morning... i was thinking that somehow my carbs weren't sinc'd properly or something...

im in holland 3-4 days a week, the rest of the time im in silver... if you don't know where holland is... be happy... be very very happy.
