Hmmm. If you want to pursue it then, just let me know. I'll hook you up with the boss man.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.Comment

Oh, it is nothing like that...no guilt trips or manipulation....it's a very positive separation. We get along better now that we did for years under the same rood....But the fact is she wanted learn how to be independent, cant do that when you have a crutch...she's a good person...we just cannot live under the same roof...to very alpha personalities and 2 very different goals in life....I am about being comfortable and happy and she wants stuff...I don't want stuff...stuff costs money...I like old and she wants new...anyway...I digress.....Originally posted by Scott Liggett View PostIf you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark DonohueComment

Luckily, ME is mostly OK with old stuff. Hence, me! I still think she settled and I know she married down but if she's content I can live with that.Originally posted by JOES66FURY View Post
Hard to know what you're getting when you find a lady who will have you...... After 3 tries, I got lucky. Hope you get a more direct path.

I've been driving the old girl as much as possible lately. There are a few things I need to tinker with. First is the carb, I still need to mess with either the shooters or the accel pump. I feel that it is a accel pump issue. I do not think it is giving it enough gas. From the literature I read if I hit the gas and it goes then bogs and then goes again it is an accel pump...not big enough to supply the fuel the engine needs. I am going to order a 50cc and see what happens. Second, I really need to swap out the cam but I figure while I am in there I may as well swap the damn gearbox as well...it leaks terribly and I don't like leaks....
Anyway, thought you all might dig some before and afters. My mini-me has been taking photos like crazy...

looking good!
If the cam is "flat", it will make it hesitate, no matter how much fuel you give it.

you body hammer - actually, those aren't terrible as raw material, but unless you want to make more work for yourself in your metal work,
notice how the face is convex? when you whack with the face like the one on the right, you'll give yourself lots of squeeze marks from where the edge of the hammer hit the metal. If you make the face like the one on the left, you don't get sharp edges striking the metal - thus, no marks. Best of all, the metal will move in an easily-controlled manner. The issue with the HF hammer is it's almost an art to make a face convex - so they just grind them flat. That said, the metal itself isn't bad and the handle is robust so it could be made to be a decent, entry level hammer.Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment

the trick is to find one with a face that's mostly flat, but with a nice gentle radius around the edge. The first one I got (in 1977) is like that, all the others I have acquired over the years are too flat. If a guy were to put it in the lathe, he could fix it, I suppose.

If your carb has any bigger squirter than a 35, then the problem isn't the squirter. Don't spend money on a 50cc accel pump. Just get a pump cam kit. Get rid of the tiny red one, most carbs come with. Put an orange or a dark green one in. Next, readjust the pump arm. Take out the slack in the arm to the cam, then make one turn farther, making the screw spring taller. Check squirter actually squirts at the slightest movement of the linkage.BS'er formally known as Rebeldryver

^^^ what Scott said x 2, especially squirting at the SLIGHTEST movement of the linkage.
Think squirt first, and throttle blade movement second.....that kind of "slightest".Last edited by STINEY; May 23, 2016, 04:12 PM.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.Comment

Funny how 50cc is the "answer"
Many used the smaller in pretty robust applications.
I'll X2 Scott's answer.. TUNE IT!Comment
