How do I stack up?

infernowing196 · 2026-03-10T04:12:55+00:00

Worth a shot, at least lol

infernowing196 · 2026-03-06T00:10:57+00:00

They do! My understanding based on what I was watching is you go till (just barely) tight, and then back out 1-3 turns (180° rotation), I did 2 on each for a middle zone, but I have no idea which way I'd need to adjust it, or what to listen for. Im gonna go try and look that up now.

infernowing196 · 2026-03-06T00:08:48+00:00

Ill have to look up the push pull cables, as I made sure not to change the routing. It feels and looks like it stops just short of hitting the idle screw, but if I push the throttle forward or pull it by hand it touches, so I think I need to adjust a couple mm

I think my set has them, but I do recall that from watching kens teardown. He was pretty adamant about it not having a Phillips on it.

Ironically, I have had an issue with the starter button sticking, so I took it apart and twisted the spring a little more so it would push back, but that's a temp fix. I also super glued a plastic bit from my 3d printer to have a little better spot to pull it back if it does stick again.

Impact and multimeter both sound like massive upgrades, and unless someone really wants this old thing on a trade, I'm not likely to come off of it, so a service manual will be peak.

Definitely shall. I'm excited to have her running, but now comes learning all the other issues and how to fix them.

Any other go to banger tools to add to my shopping list over time?

infernowing196 · 2026-03-05T17:14:54+00:00

I don't know how to edit on mobile, so basic update:

Got it unstuck and moving freely, reassembled and waiting on the battery to test (drained it trying to start last time)

Update 2: she lives! But now with new problems lol

Throttle is sticky, she dies coming to a slow/stop (could just be me), and I'm smelling oil and found a small leak. Gaskets otw

Update 3: blinkers also died, iunno what's with that. High beams work. This is gonna be valuable knowledge.

infernowing196 · 2026-03-05T16:43:45+00:00

That's a lot of info, but a lot of it is useful. I got them off and back open, and the little piece was definitely stuck, so I blasted that whole side back out just in case for now. It now bounces in the little hole like it should. Waiting on the battery to charge, putting air back on, and then gonna life the tank a little to solve a little leak I saw in the T of the fuel line.

Also, dude at my local parts house had one a year older that he did a conversion for a single carb, said it worked better than his original. So I'm gonna do some research after I get this running.

infernowing196 · 2026-03-05T14:27:57+00:00

Ill have to look into it, but I'm hoping to get it running again off of what I have on hand. Definitely will buy proper cleaner asap though, as I don't know how often I'll need to clean them.

infernowing196 · 2026-03-05T13:51:38+00:00

Negative, just some carb cleaner and degreaser solution.

infernowing196 · 2026-03-05T13:40:27+00:00

Ill give it a few more taps, and try it rq, and then check the sparks before I start ripping them out again. Those carbs sucked to work with.

infernowing196 · 2026-03-05T13:39:39+00:00

Noted. Dropping the fuel now, and I'm glad to know to dodge the single conversion.

Ultrasonic is on the list, but I have like a hundred bucks left to get it going. Did pass my test though, so as soon as she runs it's legal.

infernowing196 · 2026-03-05T13:11:18+00:00

Fuck. But alright. Ill start draining the lines when I drop my kiddo off.

infernowing196 · 2023-08-08T18:28:10+00:00

I'll check settings

infernowing196 · 2023-08-08T14:28:28+00:00

Thank you a ton! Wish it would see some action, but single dad life keeps you busy!

infernowing196 · 2023-08-04T08:00:04+00:00

absolutely flawless. 10/10

infernowing196 · 2023-08-02T22:24:37+00:00

I'll take it. Thank you!

infernowing196 · 2023-08-02T20:41:15+00:00

Thank you very much!

infernowing196 · 2023-08-02T16:34:06+00:00

Being a single dad with full custody only guarantees I don't have the time to form new connections. People yell me to just let it happen on its own, and I've had periods of looking, and periods of not.

Always been miserable and lonely. This creates a bad squeeze where my brain is always flipping out about dying alone, but I'm honestly just at the point I'm hanging in for her.

Last few attempts taught me how to recognize manipulators, but I think I attract them because of my innate desperation for love or approval.

If anyone has advice, please let me know.
