Intakes! Thats why I havent been updating.

Sigh... a sigh of relief since Ive been slaving on this order for a friend. Lots of intakes. Look forward for some big ol 24's for your gila or malossi reed polini kit. What, you have a treats read kit and need an intake for a four petal setup? No prob. I even have some 19 intakes for you dudes rollin dirty on your athena sachs (Not for the novice though). Word. More disk, clutch rings etc. Whats new with you?

Easy Halogen Headlight

Yeah so Cody wanted to upgrade his headlight on the Pinto since it has the treats CDI. It was pretty simple to do actually, 10 minutes tops. We took the OG bulb holder out, trimmed off the back portion, filed a groove in the halogen bulb assembly itself so the retaining clip would work, wired it in, started it up and BRIGHT light action. He used a 9006 bulb, 85813 harness and a few electrical connectors. Take a look at the pics, it should make sense. Terry made an appearance and shot the shit as well. Yay.

Sachs Uber Clutch

Ahh, it been a while since Ive been on here. IM starting work on a friends Sachs, he had a kid and has become too lazy to tinker. We had already installed an 80cc athen kit onto the bike as well as simo snail exhaust and a 21mm carb. We actually milled 2mm off the base of the cylinder since we found a HUGE squish clearance. Since this was an A engine we opted to do so since the D engine have a 2mm longer stroke (or rod?). Its a ripper, as in rips the clutch appart. Justin did manage to score one of these Uber clutches from germany any I have high hopes. One thing I doo like about it is that the big washer thingy had been milled down in the center to give more room for a lock washer. I will let you know how it works out.

blockhead...

Nothing really new, Baretta runs good, gonna try points to see if my CDI is faltering. STILL waiting on my parts from the water jet guy, and its hot. I like blockhead.

Blah.......!

Fucking minarelli is pissing me off. No matter what I do I just cant get the right side of the cylinder to seal. Ive used all sorts of different gaskets, non hardening sealants and even RTV (bleh). Still.... Only thing I can figure is that the cylinder is interfering with the little raised section on the case. Soooo, im just going to pull the whole damn engine off tomorrow yank off the top end, remove the studs and just study it. I had no problem on the first kit sealing with the wimpy little paper gasket. Oh, another thing, the stupid aluminum head gaskets are only fucking good for one torque, I hope my copper ones are done soon.

Another note is this puch with 31 miles on it that I picked up. From what I can tell its true milage because how clean all of the hidden spots where. I just fixed up a few issues, got rid of the 1hp cylinder and sold it. Yay.

baby bear, mama bear, papa bear.

My moped wants to kill me....

Seriously, shes trying to kill me and herself. First I go tearing down the road and hit the brakes....SHIT....no brakes. Apparently the fluid window chipped and leaked out all the fluid. Managed to get home and quickly swap out the unit from the garelli so I could commute 12 miles to work.


Today is my day off so I have been chasing leaks. The intake isnt sealing like it did on the old cylinder, gasket after gasket. I also found the base gasket to be leaking so I started pulling off the cooling system. Lo and behold I find the source of my crazy vibrations that turned up. Fuuuuuuuuuck. Especially fuck since chelsea's new job requires me to commute on the peds and now I have no functioning peds. Fuck.



Good news is that the tubing for the new line of intakes is done.....Sigh.
