It will take quality parts. And a stack of cash.
This is the engine I am building now. NCY 50mm piston, cylinder and head with A9 cam. Hoca 44mm stroker crankshaft. 20mm carburetor. (later to be EFI). K&N air filter. Stock exhaust with muffler cut off and a SuperTrapp installed. Naraku perfomance variator and clutch. Hoca 16/50 gears.

Check hoses and intake manifold for cracks. Also check the air box. If it still has the emission stuff on it, it may be a bad vapor canister.

Mine fit super tight and are hard to get off. I didn't put them back on last time I had the axles out. Like Alley said they are just cosmetic. If you really want them measure the hole in the center of the wheel and look at harbor freight or an auto store.

Oh, you were talking about the wheel center caps. I thought you was talking about the seals in the axle tube behind the hubs. Talk to Jim at Rapid Repair, he may be able to order them for you.

The bearings should be sealed. I got mine at Nappa, they may have to order them. You can get them from a bearing supply place also.

Oh, And hey Oldmopar. Speaking of Mopars, Its not just late model cars. Have you ever had to give a 1969 Plymouth Fury with the regular 383 a tune up ? Theres 1 or maybe even 2 sparkplugs it is damn near impossible to get out and replace. So bad that 99% of mechanics never replaced those plugs when giving that car a as said tune up. I remember finally getting them out and the whole electrode and all would be burned off from never being replaced. Ya, I owned one of those. Took me 3 hours just to change plugs. They were a P.I.T.A  and I learned a whole new vocabulary working on that car. Roy |

Ouch, I feel for ya. It seems like it is always the bigger vehicles. Every time one has pulled out in front of me, it has been an suv and the driver had a phone in there ear. I have managed to avoid them, because I ride like everybody is out to get me.

[replyingto=chihuahuas]chihuahuas[/replyingto]Ya, you should never use a regular socket on an impact wrench. They tend to spread out and can crack or shatter. If people would read the directions that come with an impact gun it will state this. Impact sockets are made thicker and of a harder metal.

Dremel a slot in it and remove it with a flat head screwdriver Or you can get the right tool for the job. They are called rounded bolt extractors, bolt grip, ect. Most auto stores carry them. Roy |

The way you have the hoses are hooked to the petcock is correct. That is how mine is connected. The lower hose (vacuum) goes to a T fitting. one hose from the T will go to a fitting on the intake manifold and the other hose will go to a vacuum port on the carb., or if it has emission stuff it may go to a vacuum valve on the fuel tank vent hose. If your carb doesn't have this fitting and the emission stuff has been removed you can plug this hose or remove the T fitting and run a hose directly from the petcock to the fitting on the intake manifold.

Wow, Hope she didn't get hurt to bad. Back when I was 11 My brother had a Kawasaki 250. We rod up to the mail box, and on the way back He scooted back on the seat and forced me off the back. I grabbed onto the tail light to keep from falling off. And I quickly realized that wasn't the smartest thing to do, as the knobby tire was playing havoc with the family jewels. I let go real quick and slid off the back and down the dirt road on my chest. My brother didn't even stop. I was in some pain and had to walk the mile back home.
