    Seat vibrations

    Gearing and compression and timing and carburation modifications will cure that .........when I got mine 12 years ago I couldn't stand to ride it.....now I can cruise all day at highway speeds including the expresswat without that nuisance....no one thing will really fix it properly no mater...

    Rear sprocket help

    These are 360 engines.....vibrations and high revs will tear them up .........I suspect all the revs on the tack were just a sales pitch when other makers were selling horse power..........you can set them up to scream or set them up to last .......pick one..............xsjohn

    BS-34 Carb questons

    The instructions recommend 2 1/2 right and 2 1/4 left turns out to start with using the 46 pilot........ I've been running something like 1 3/4 with the 49 pilot........that's at 8-1......... Remembering to set the mix screws in hot weather............. xsjohn
