  1. Getting tired of my fireball +6 swingarm.  Thinking I want something shorter,  Anyone with with similar mods to me, what length swingarm are you liking at LSOK?  It was great when I was less experienced, but now I'm struggling with some agility and traction.

    Setup:

    I forget the RO, but tire size is 21x12x8 Skat Extremes

    421 Serval (pretty sure its a cleanup port, bought second hand), 24cc, pump gas.

    SBIF Shearers

    Old Style Fireball LT so CG is moved forward a little.

    What do you mean your cases didn’t seal 

    The case halves have sealant between them.  They didn't seal part of the case for some reason leading to an air leak. Then went chasing their tail with jetting due to said air leak.  This post is 10 years old. If you have a problem, make a new thread. 

  3. Swap the spark plug leads, If the miss follows the wire, Cut the wire back and retest. Use DMM to check continuity of the boot. Replace Boot if no continuity.

    Clean the carbs. A plugged jet can cause issues

    Sync the carbs at idle using the idle screws.  Then back the throttle adjuster out until the rpm raises and sync the carbs using the adjuster on the top of the carbs. Return throttle adjuster at throttle to just a bit of free play.

    Check for leaks around reeds/intake with some carb cleaner, if idle changes, possible leak. Reseal intake.

    Check for broken reeds.

    Adjust air screws for idle.

    Verify exhaust not plugged with a mouse nest, acorns, ect.

    Check compression. If below 100 rebuild.

  4. Just run a hose from the cap and angle it down like stock.  The tiny breather has a ball to act as a check valve and as oil and dirt mix in the check valve area, it gets plugged.  This creates a vacuum in the tank leading to your carburetor bowls running dry, leading to a stuck piston. 

    It's happened enough that it is ingrained into everyone to point out how bad those are.

  5. Buy an oversized radiator, any after market impeller as long as it has a hardened shaft. Run water mixed with enough coolant additive to prevent any galvanic corrosion ( I believe its like 15% for most additives)
    Ensure that you are not detonating any, as that can spike temperature.
