    1/10 Minicraft XS650

    Here's one for fun. Another diversion to pass the time before the snow melts and another riding season starts. It's a 1/10 Minicraft that was already started by someone else and I picked it up on EBay. All mistakes, omissions, errors and not getting it completely right are 100% my own. If it...

Saw the horror stories about cracked cam towers, oversize bushings, etc. I gently honed out the cam bores for the advance rod bushings on both sides with a Dremel and...

    Left Cylinder Fires Intermittently When Started From Cold

    This misfire on one cylinder really had me puzzled on my '78 Standard.
