I am told not to run synthetic oil to break in a newly rebuilt engine. What's a good oil to use for break in?
-
I think my starter clutch may be involved. when I 1st start my engine it makes a whir whir whir noise, as the rpms increase it turns into a higher pitch whine sound which goes away after 5 minutes or so on the freeway at speed. seems to be coming from the stator area.

the glue keeps the rear boot from slipping off. I use a thin coat. it works for me and is very easily removed.
-
I struggled with installing it 100% perfectly but found a way that works for me. 1st I install the front rubber connector as far forward as it will go onto the intake manifold. next I clean the airbox connector and apply a coat of handgrip glue where the boot connects to the bell of the carb. then I squeeze the carb in between the 2 boots (air box connector and intake connector). next I connect the throttle cable to the carb. I install the carb bell into the pre glued boot and lightly tighten the clamp. after an hr or 2 I completely tighten the air box side clamp and move the carb forward into the intake connector and tighten those clamps. finally I run all my hoses down under the bike. then I can install the tank and connect the fuel lines and I am done. VIOLA! hope this helps.

so what happens after you give the police the license #?
-
did you pull out the slide and put the plate on upside down?
-
if the insides of the crankcase has been exposed to air then I predict lots of rust and problems.
-
the carb looks nice, TPS and adjustable pilot.
-
hot dry weather will make the gas in the carb evaporate quicker, shut off the petcock.

I made it match the pipe and exhaust gasket. how do you think that will be bad, should I have left them different sizes/uneven?
-
when you order them from Cometic they call it a hi-perf exhaust gasket (pn # EX243). the cometic gasket matches the ID of my header and so I ported my head to match the hi-perf gasket. now my head, gasket and pipe all match, in my mind I see that as a good thing.
-
oops typo, my bad the cometic hi-perf exhaust gaskets have a LARGER ID not smaller. you guys know what I meant. they match the diameter of my exhaust header. stock has a smaller ID to match the stock header. for those who are in denial, enjoy, they say ignorance is bliss so keep running the stock gasket.
-
you are wrong, dead wrong. like I said, I got one with the top end gasket set I got. it has a smaller ID than stock and matches the ID of my aftermarket pipe. thanks for being of no help though.
-
how much should I have to pay for a dyno run with exhaust gas analysis? I want to know if my jetting is correct across the whole rpm range.
-
where can I get an exhaust gasket that has a smaller I.D. than the stocker? I am running a Yosh pipe that has a larger I.D. than the stock pipe and don't want the gasket protruding into the exhaust air space. I know there is such a thing because I got one with the last top end gasket set I got but now I just want the gasket. Thanks.
