Thanks for all the advice from everyone on picking up the bike. Years ago I just used to grab the handlebars and pick it up as I was very strong. Not any more. I tried it that way and didn't get very far. Only made me feel older. I can see now that there's a lot easier way to do it. I'll...

I hate to tell you this. Before I get to "this". first let me say that I've been very busy lately and haven't done much with the bike. One of the reasons is that I ordered cleaning tools for carbs and they just came in yesterday. So that's why I haven't started on the carbs yet. In a...

Got back the night before last with the car. It ran great!!! 2600 miles over 4 days. Some of the most beautiful countryside I've ever seen in Utah on Interstate 15. Very happy with the 95 Del Sol..................Frankie I'll post some video later.

Flying out to NV tomorrow to pick up a Honda Civic Del Sol '95. I used to own one years ago and really loved it. This one's an automatic instead of a stick. Have to drive it back to Jersey, a little over 2500 miles. Give you a picture when I get back...........Frankie

Had to put the bike on the back burner for a short while as I might be buying a used car that's located in Nevada. I'd have to fly out there and drive it back if I get it. I'll let you know what's up as things develop...........Frnakie

I was PMing with another member about bike seats and was telling him a story that I though I'd share with the rest of you.. From part of my PM.... When I was a young man, I'd love to take a good looking girl for a ride just for that reason. Although, once it almost had tragic results. The...

Please don't laugh at my ignorance but is Mikuni that original manufacturer of the carbs or a company that supplies parts for the original carbs? And...as long as I'm asking questions that might cause you to laugh, here's another. I have both a pressure washer and a steam pressure cleaner...

I think the best bet is to take everything apart to see how bad it is. I bought the bike about 20 years ago and it was reportedly running but roughly, now smooth. So I know there's trouble from the get go. We'll see. I'll take some pictures or a video as I go along...............Frankie

Would this be from the dealership? Where do you recommend? .............Frankie

I thought it would be good to ask where to buy a carb rebuild kit. Also, while looking on u-tube, I noticed someone using a tool that had different sizes of wire that are used to clean out or ream out the air holes in the jets. Does anyone know something about this tool?. Thanks....Frankie

I'd probably still use the same one I'm brushing my teeth with. Soooo.........were you happy with the end result? Was it worth it? Aside from the regs it didn't meet, would you buy it again? Were you impressed with the results?...............Frankie

I'm going there now............Frankie

Niels, this is the one I just bought a few months ago. It is used. On e-bay, they wanted $259.00 for it or best offer. It was on e-bay for a few weeks and I figured the guy was in a selling mode so I offered him $150 and he took it. It's 6 L. Lets see if I can transfer a pic of it...

I think we have something in common...........................

Thanks. I went to that site and also saw this....(I took a screen shot of the page....let's see if I can bring it up.... What do you think about this? Have you ever used it?............Frankie

I realize what you're talking about now. I looked on the site you posted. They're now cheep. I had the occasion to buy one that was a great price from someone that was closing a business. I was always sorry I didn't get it. ............Frankie

Is Texavina a company of a forum member?

Thanks for that advice on using this with the water in the cleaner. I was asking another member about this but I see you have already answered my question. Where do you buy this?..........frankie

Thanks for the advice. I have to look up vapor honing as this is the first time I ever heard of it. Can you do this at home or do you have to go somewhere to have it done? Perhaps you can advise me on the pitting on the chrome. I would think there are 3 options, clean it the best you can...

Thanks, Raymond. I belong to another forum, ZRoadster.org. Made many great friends from the UK on that forum. Went over there to visit them twice. One of the members, a sheep rancher from Wales, flew over to Philly where I picked him up and then we both flew to LA to pick up a Z3///M that I...
