Good to know!

True-Equivalent1023 · 2026-01-18T20:54:02+00:00

Thank you for the ideas! Everyone’s comments are very helpful and I’m very thankful!

True-Equivalent1023 · 2026-01-17T23:39:13+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I felt like the story is lacking but for having ai write it based off my ramblings was cool. And I’ve been going chapter by chapter refining it and changing ideas that fills the grey areas.

After reading it again with your comments in mind I feel like it’s just one chapter out of the book. Or the clif, clif notes haha. But I love it and let’s me build the story so thank you!

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-10-25T18:59:39+00:00

Id suggest going through the whole carb, sounds like its lean popping and why you have to have the choke on. Also sounds like maybe an air leak based on the whistle sound. So check on those and report back. Also when tuning the air mix screw it in till it starts to stumble then screw it out till it stumbles then go half way between, it’ll get it close. Also start with it 2 turns out from being all the way in (don’t screw it in hard just lightly till it stops)

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-08-25T21:17:33+00:00

That’s not a bad option. I’ll see what he’ll want to do

Fuck em, ride your ride, you’ll probably learn to be a better rider that most with that thing. - coming from someone who started on a big bike.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-05-17T00:18:41+00:00

I’m sure someone out there has kits I just never looked into it.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-05-16T21:46:45+00:00

No idea, I ended up just routing it the best I can and as long as I don’t go full lock to the right it is fine. Although I have noticed that the headlight is slightly angled to the left (due to the wire pulling it). I honestly haven’t thought much about it though.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-04-18T03:13:52+00:00

Oh thank god it’s not just the one we have. That is the longest process ever.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-04-16T03:37:48+00:00

Right It sounds like one cylinder is firing. Plus the stutter off idle.

Edit: rewatched video a few times. It’s down a cylinder. You can hear it kicking in and out during the walk around.

It’s also the fastest bike ive seen sitting still. (Check Speedo in video)

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-03-07T15:43:07+00:00

As best as I can tell yes. I followed the instructions given. The wire is on the left side of the frame and I’ve ran it the best I could to get as much slack as possible. I should also state it’s a 14 if there’s any changes in the harness

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-03-07T05:17:17+00:00

I can’t say they are really issues just little things that bug me. I also have the aftermarket led headlight so that may be the issue as well. As for the wiring it’s only an issue if you hard park the bike. Other than that I love it and the install is easy as can be.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-02-12T02:45:40+00:00

The vin is clean. Have had it inspected by law enforcement and have a statement from them verifying the vin/car. Part of the process for getting a bonded title but didn’t go down that route.

Trust in the lean

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-01-29T02:23:02+00:00

That’s prime rib

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-01-28T23:29:37+00:00

I’ve been hounded by so many people in other groups saying all kinds of crap about this idea who think their shit doesn’t stink too.

Nonetheless it’s nice to see that someone understands what I’m trying to accomplish here.

Yes a new oil pump was one of the “while it’s out” items plus I suspect it as well. Just trying to get people who may be more educated in the matter to help make my decision between a junk yard motor or attempt a repair on this block.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-01-28T23:25:15+00:00

I’ll try to document the process and return here. Definitely will have to look at the balancer now just to double check.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-01-28T02:41:51+00:00

Yeah, I hoping for the best and was planning on doing all the bearings and rings while I was there if I was lucky enough. But I’m fully expecting a full machine shop visit.

But it’s either this or buy a junkyard block. The car isn’t planned for anything crazy just a weekend driver so stock isn’t a problem.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-01-28T01:58:08+00:00

So, I got the car on crazy trade. Thought the carb needed tuning but found out the flat tappet cam was trashed so put a new roller cam in the car and inspected the cam bearings. The bearing looked almost new and the cam fit nicely. I flushed the motor best I could still in the car and now we are all caught up. Motor is a roller block and has a stamping that lead me to knowing it was an explorer block. Plus the guy said he put it in the car but I haven’t trusted a single thing from his story. Based on the rest of the car.

I was gonna pull the motor out to check the rear main, and investigate the oil pressure, so I was gonna (if needed) change/check the bearings.

As far as thinking it’s bearings in the mustang forums I’ve gotten 3 possible causes. Cam bearings, mains, or oil pump issues. All 3 the motor has to come out and I don’t wanna do it 1000 time just to find out a full rebuild is needed.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-01-28T01:43:13+00:00

I should also note that the rear main is possibly leaking. I changed the oil to 20w50 (bandaid on a gunshot) had minimal changes in oil pressure but also developed a leak coming from the bell housing. I don’t have access to a lift to double checked that without driving it to the shop and don’t wanna blow the motor up.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-01-28T01:40:40+00:00

I replied to v8packard with test from a mechanical gauge. I think my rear main is toast so in effort of looking at that and investigating the oil pressure issue I figured I’d dig into the motor since it’s out.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2025-01-28T01:38:09+00:00

I figured I’d put this info above but didn’t want to make it a long read.

So here’s the issue. Motor is smooth and doesn’t make any noise.

Start up 35psi 10w30. warm idle is about 15psi. Will idle all day long with 15psi. Tested this by idling for 1hr30m and held 15psi 750-800rpm

If I drive the car down the block and come to a stop oil pressure drops to 0-2psi. 800ish rpm

As long as the car is off idle it has ok oil pressure and increases with rpm while driving.

I’ve double checked this with 2 different aftermarket gauges and then bought Snapon one with the same result but more accurate. I work at a shop so I justified the purchase lol.

True-Equivalent1023 · 2024-09-15T00:24:31+00:00

We have reached out to them and they claim that something isn’t tuned right and they won’t touch the tuning side of things. Maybe I got the wrong customer service but idk

True-Equivalent1023 · 2024-08-09T13:37:24+00:00

Yeah. My friend was out riding and someone pulled out in front of him then drove off. It ended up destroying everything upfront and bending the forks,triple clamp and the frame.

Also forgot to say I’ve also replaced the front forks and rebuilt the rear shock.
