    Gas tank liner removal with acetone

    I tried the kreem and it was miserable. After much research I found the por15. I put the stripper in there with a section of metal chain instead of screws and was pulling chucks of the old stuff out in no time. Follow the directions and you can't go wrong. It has a metal etcher that should take...

    Fuel in my exhaust

    I have a 1980 xs 650 that I hard tailed, installed a pma and Pamco. I have rebuilt bs34s with stock jetting. The jetting that was one step up fouled my plugs within minutes and caused soot and fuel out of the exhaust. I adjusted the cam chain, valves and timing. The floats are brass and at 27.3...

    Just recently got to test ride my bike before I tear it apart for powder coating. I'm getting some gas in my old and I checked my carbs after sitting for a couple days and they seemed a little to wet for a bike that hasn't been ran for awhile. I'm assuming it's my float needle. When the bike is...

    cant get bike to run, gas ending up in the oil.

    I'm going to do an oil change and throw in some fresh plugs and see if I can get better results. I guess I'm wondering if I get the same results , am I looking at a rebuild?

    They are plastic floats and are adjusted and double checked. The timing was way off but has been corrected. The needles should be operating fine. I had the needles needle jets and mains all out today and cleaned and refit them.

    Ill start from the beginning. I bought this bike as a stock 1980 xs 650 special and i was 19 years old. i originally went with the brat set up from visual impact because i planned on this being my daily rider and my old man thought a hard tail would be to much as a daily rider. I installed a pma...

    wont start with new carbs

    I really didn't want to say who they are because they are not only a good company to work with they are a local place for me but so far today they haven't responded. They happen to be the TC bros. I've done a lot of business with them but this is crazy. It upsets me because I have bought a lot...

In the meantime I'm doing the retorque on my engine. My exhaust is lined with...
