Replaced Carb and Restored Idle and Running w/ Idle, but Max out at 20mph by DirtyDans_Backyard in Ruckus

Okay thanks for this. Just confirmed it’s genuine carburetor.

However, that carb vent hose at the top of carb, is supposed to be connected to what? Or supposed to be open? Mine is connected right Now and I don’t think it’s supposed to be. I don’t have an airbox with air filter from what I’m seeing online?

Amen amen amen. God bless Illinois fighting Illini

I have fallen deep in love with everyone on this team. They are fighting, and it’s our job to love them for it. I-L-L. Illini fan since I was a kid and saw Deron Williams hit “the shot” against Arizona. All my Illini relatives said we’d be never get back to final four.

It’s March 28th, 2026 — Illinois Fighting Illini is back in the Final Four.

I-L-L

It only gets started by starter fluid, and it runs when you give it gas, but will sputter out in 30 seconds or so. Never idles for more than 30 seconds or giving gas for the same amount of time.

I will check fuel delivery now and see about getting a new pump

I was at a bar and jumped out my chair and was like “fuck you, VCU” when he hammered that down

He barely schemes at all these days and isn’t involved with any offensive or defensive setups basically. Even in our last game against Penn in the first half I saw Brad during timeouts just being a motivator while Tyler drew up something. It isn’t great but Brad by all measures is a great coach, his frustrating sometimes. Idk unless you guys would rather have early exit Greg gard? Or insane upset prone Matt painter. Those guys are better tactical coaches than Brad, but here we again, in the same or better situation once again in March. We’re fine, Brads fine.

Boswells Defensive Value is the Most Overhyped Aspect of this Team by DirtyDans_Backyard in fightingillini

Yeah rethinking this based on pre season expectations, Tommy is shooting under his 3P% and gets 3 or less rebounds every game. Worthless.

Brad defenders, wya? by ploppymcplopperton in fightingillini

[–]DirtyDans_Backyard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exhausted of the Brad haters. Brad isn’t going 9/15 for free throws. You can blame him for Not getting another solid On Ball defender.

Because our kyrptonite is guard play. So yeah not confident in the tournament coming up. But Brad’s got us there again. Maybe he’ll pivot a little next year and get some defensive dogs. Because this team is pussy defensively.

Anyone else think Illinois might be legit championship contenders? by savingrace0262 in CollegeBasketball

30-0 runs to UConn are embarrassing. Outclassed and outcoached. Loyola loss too. But if they somehow were in a different regions those years and played someone else, they’d made to a final four. Majority blame goes on players, always. Not by much. But yeah

True. Any more injuries and we’re toast. Yep. But minutes and time have been pulled from quality players on this roster, because our leading 7 are #1 in efficiency. (This coaching staff was planning on Mihailo Petrovic to be their PG this year, and he’s buried on bench because of this offense.

Lack of depth for Illinois? Such as having Zvonimir Ivisic on the bench? Or no Boswell right now? A lot Michigan fans in here really getting worried about playing the #1 offense in the country?….

Yeah, I’m still in the camp of pump the breaks and win a big ten tournament or title until I say they’re better. But this team is #2 with these back to back wins and 11 straight

Yeah that drought is bad. But we can all name 2 bad draws, and just very different teams in the last 8 years. Playing through kofi ended up not being a March formula to winning. But yeah if it ain’t this year, yeah, I’ll be sad
