I've wanted a pair of those for a while..... would probably work on the 150 fine.... I don't know about the 250... the stator is pretty anemic on those
How much current to they draw?

Just think... a movie... where one of these ships becomes a dictatorship... then pirates other vessels, like container ships and tankers.... It would be like a rouge nation.

something to think about.... sounds like your leak is the valve cover gasket. If you can't afford a new valve cover gasket, and you have some RTV laying around.... Pull the valve cover and goop her up a bit, let it set up and put it back on. It will probably get rid of the leak.

it could be hard on the crank bearings as well

Tonight I did a valve adjustment and replaced the enricher. Seems to start a bit better when cold. I will play with it tomorrow morning to be sure. I'm still not real confident in the charging system. Might loose the stereo system altogether and instead of ordering a new amp for it, order a new knee panel for it instead. The bike is running better and better. I'm still a touch lean on the idle mixture, but it's getting there, probably another 1/4-1/2 turn on the a/f screw and she will be good. A/F adjustments are a real pain on this one, as the AF screw is under the carb and getting to it while the carb is on the bike is a real bugger. I bought a "bent" screwdriver tonight, to see if that will work, but I may have to grind it down a little to make it work.
Fully plumbed in the new petcock. It's still on the wrong side of the bike, but everything seems to be working ok. The new petcock had a vent port, the old one didn't. So since most of the emissions gear was removed from the bike at some point in it's life, I took the vent line from the tank that went to the charcoal canister and just plumbed that to the vent port on the petcock. I think it will work ok at least so far it seem to work alright.

Can I use a vacuum fuel pump instead of the stock vacuum pet cock? The tank on my 250 is gravity fed (tank is under the seat). The mount for the petcock is on the left of the bike, the fuel tank outlet is on the right side of the bike, and of course the fuel line comes into the carb on the right side of the bike.
I'm thinking about either putting a vacuum fuel pump in, because of the long run, or just moving the petcock. Any thoughts? Will the pump act like a vacuum petcock? I have a spare makuni fuel pump on the shelf, I could use.

The bike is a 250de touring... Shenke (long bow, tank touring yada yada) with a honda clone.
Can I just unplug the alarm and remote start and chuck them? or will I need to do something else to the bike. It seems to start just fine with it unplugged, and I think it's charging ok....
What the heck is that extra fuse block for under the seat?
this bike has a 10" rear wheel in the back with disk brake... was that stock? The 150 version of this bike we have in our fleet has 13's or 14's front and rear.
The reason I question the 10" wheel, is the side stand seems too long. To the point where I can't even use the side stand in the garage without the bike falling over. It's also a real pain in the back side to get this bike off the double stand. Did someone swap something weird into this bike?

Can I do the happy dance yet? Put the meter on the red wire coming out of the RR and to the neg term of the batt. With the engine off, no volts... with it running 13 volts, which is what I have at the battery right now. I'm not under load right now, as the nose if off the bike, so no headlight/tail lights. The fan did kick on, and no, noticable volt drop. Maybe .1 volts at most? The thing that worries me, is I don't see voltage moving up when revved but I don't see any dropping either. didn't try jumping the blocking diode yet. She's still a little cold blooded... probably needs a valve adjustment or the enricher isn't working or maybe a little richer on the A/F. Once warm she runs good. Nice to know the fan is working...  one less thing to worry about. |

It's a chinese bike.... it gets a chinese amp... LOL... it's fused at 2 amps, which is about the same as the stock one. For now, I'll just use the stock speakers.
