Yup.... don't want to blow up my vintage meter... Also, how do you test the voltage regulator? It's new but it still wasn't charging. I was "told" it could be a connection to the ignition switch. Also, the blocking diode is good. |

I've found a pretty inexpensive kit.... The process doesn't look that difficult. www.mydipkit.com/index.htmlAnd for doing what I want, it will work better then the film. And it looks like an interesting process. |

Has anyone dipped any of their parts? The process I'm talking about it call hydro graphics or hydro printing. They use it for doing camo on gun stocks and faux carbon fiber on car parts.... I'm actually thinking about setting up my shop to do this for little parts.

Got her to fire up tonight. Found out it also has a bad starter solenoid. I've got juice on the start wire, but no crank... It does run, and seem to run pretty well. Ordering two brake switches and a starter solenoid tomorrow. I bet the remote start will even work then.

I am thinking a blue metal-flake (rustoluem), with white and yellow, real flame (air brushed). Let me know how the clear goes. I love rustoluem. I actually have a k-5 blazer I did a roller paint job on using rustoluem... If done right, you can actually get a smooth finish with a roller... We won't talk about wet sanding between coats on that beast! I got to where I could do the whole truck in about 4hours. On my bike, I'm not looking for perfection, just nice. I've started painting the black plastics (floor boards and center hump, along with dash.... I might re-do it tho, I used gloss and I think it would look better flat or satin. I'm doing a few red-neck carbon fiber pieces (got a roll of 3m "carbon fiber" vinyl coming, already have "carbon fiber" mirrors and just did my cramp buster for kicks and giggles with some scraps I had laying around. |

I'd love to ride today, but I'm not going to have time... I'm cooking for 8 peeps today. Cooking is my other hobby, I enjoy it, but after cooking a huge meal like this, I'm usually pretty tired.

Awesome.... Thanks JR.... I figured it didn't matter because it was 3 phase... now I have to figure out my meter... It's vintage, and cool.... but harder to use.... I know how to use it for DC... but never fooled with it on anything AC. Tell ya what... I can put up a better video of stator testing if you want.... Now that I know what to do..... Now if I could just find the hazard and kill switches for this bike.... I hate to referb the dash on it and used faded switches... The bike is a little different config. The switches at Scrappy are marked differently... The one they have for the kill switch is actually my hazard flashers... the one for the Aux, on my is the kill switch.... I'm gonna have 60 bucks just tied up in switches. I'm replacing both brake switches as well, one is completely bad the other is intermittent. Still trying to figure out what I want to do for paint.... |

One of the guys on youtube (diesel stop) had a gm 6.2 diesel that had a pushrod in the crank case that didnt seem to hurt anything.... the previous owner dropped it in galley and didn't bother to try to get it out, then just put a new one in. The motor chewed on a bit and dumped it the crank case without any apparent damage. Wayne only found it because he had to pull the pan to change a seal. It does happen.... He rebuilt it just to be safe, but before he pulled the pan, the motor ran great.

Hope the fuel issue is a simple fix, man. One upgrade I really like on my 250cc is a MrGasket elec. fuel pump. I always get a kick out of hearing her spool up when I turn the key on. hehe I actually don't need to worry about the fuel pump, as this bike has the tank under the seat and is gravity fed. It all works until someone bypasses the vacuum petcock. |
