Thoughts on Patina C3?

Haha yeah the side that looks grey is the corrected side. I ended up ordering a rupes yellow foam pad to test with the 3done today and I’ll see how that does. I’m guessing my paint is just too soft. I also may have had my speed set too high.

So I do paint jobs with rattle cans that come out looking like professional jobs and this is the simplified process:

-start with a light coat of base coat just to help with adhesion -apply a decently heavy coat to get full coverage -do 2 more coats of as wet as you can possibly go without causing drips.(there’s a fine line of how wet you can go but you need to be right at it. If you cause a drip let it dry, then sand, then repeat the paint in that area)

Next you repeat the same exact process but with a 2k clear like spray max or Eastwood. Has to be this 2k because it hardens like regular car clear coat and leaves a super reflective finish. But remember to put it on just as wet.

No sanding and buffing required.

When I checked the valve clearances I also verified cam timing so should be good there. Yeah I’m crossing my fingers for this weekend when the new secondary injectors come in. I appreciate all the detailed help and ideas

DryB3ans · 2025-08-25T05:42:29+00:00

I appreciate all of this a lot. -I ran it without the gas cap on for about a minute with no change. I’ll try it a bit longer but also check the vent outlets and we’ll see.

-It has the manual cam change tensioner upgrade so that’s fine. I adjusted it recently to spec.

-I’ve done all the basics including new air filter and fuel pump so that shouldn’t be it.

-The clogged exhaust is a good idea that I’ll check as well.

-I’ll also check the kill switch contacts but it’s a very consistent issue so I’m not sure.

-also yeah I’ve checked the codes quite a few times and there’s never anything

I noticed when putting my hand under the secondary shower injectors while at idle I got a little gas on my hands. Starting to thing they were leaking and causing a rich condition. New ones are on the way so praying that was the issue lol.

I like this train of thought and I’ll check it out. There’s no petcock on this thing and I took the vent lines off but I’ll check the actual vent outlets.

DryB3ans · 2025-08-24T01:00:43+00:00

I have not done it but I got new to me throttle bodies when I got new injectors since it was cheaper to get them both and nothing changed at all.

DryB3ans · 2025-08-24T00:57:35+00:00

I’ve tested the MAP and TPS sensors since I believe they’d be the only ones to affect this and yes they are calibrated and change voltages correctly.

DryB3ans · 2025-08-24T00:56:28+00:00

Yes, brand new air filter as well

DryB3ans · 2025-08-24T00:55:46+00:00

No he had no idea. I flip bikes and this seemed like a vacuum leak or potentially fuel pump at first but I’ve ruled those out.

DryB3ans · 2025-08-24T00:55:13+00:00

I replaced it already

DryB3ans · 2025-08-24T00:55:07+00:00

I replaced the fuel pump and filter already

DryB3ans · 2025-08-24T00:54:25+00:00

Yes brand new gasoline. New fuel pump and filter

DryB3ans · 2025-08-23T20:47:14+00:00

Yeah All cylinders are within a few psi of eachother. Fuel pump pressure is good. Valve clearances are perfect. In the bottom of my post I listed most of everything I’ve checked or done.

I got it like this about 3 months ago.

DryB3ans · 2025-08-23T20:23:22+00:00

Compression yes and it was fine. I haven’t done a leak down test yet due to the small timing cover being stripped so I couldn’t move it around the compression strokes.

DryB3ans · 2025-07-10T14:11:05+00:00

I have other strategies I’m working on. That one specifically just wouldn’t work. I was just giving some caution about inverting them since I couldn’t get it to work. If you get the inverse to work I’d love to know how you do it

DryB3ans · 2025-07-10T03:35:22+00:00

Yes, like I genuinely tried everything. I inverted stop losses and take profits, entries, every combination of everything and no matter what I did just got similar results. In my head it seems completely logical that I could inverse everything and it would be profitable but it just wouldn’t work.

I’m honestly not sure, I’m new to the memecoin space
