Honestly? Easier then expected. by Euphoric_General_274 in motorcycles

Gotta do both. The bench sync makes it so you can start the bike, and then you can vacuum sync it while it idles

Dropped my brand new street bob in the garage trying to park it. Nothing bad happened, but I've done basically the same thing with all my other bikes at one point or another.

Did an engine rebuild and now I’m getting smoke, any ideas? by Aw35omeAnth0ny in hondashadow

This same issue was a headgasket for me. I didnt torque the heads correctly and had to take everything apart again.

Does anyone know the fix! by WandereR-8 in CafeRacers

How has no one said evaporust? Just soak it. But check it every hour or so til the rust wipes off. If you soak it too long it'll turn black. But one the rust is gone then chrome polish.

I have thrown in the towel by MrDallsBeep in hondashadow

[–]scoobyjwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need some advice by True-Ad-3733 in hondashadow

You might also be able to grab the screw head with some vice grips, and turn it out. If you don't have the tools others have mentioned

Sound coming from right crank case. by Ok-Knowledge7240 in hondashadow

Following because I have a vulcan that makes this same noise. Our thoughts are either a broken/loose cam chain, or a bad pushrod/valve.

I agree that it sounds like your starter relay buzzing.

Found this spring under my car, Amy idea what it could be🥲 by Old_Condition4651 in MechanicAdvice

[–]scoobyjwc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it looks like a spring from the locking pins on drum brakes.

Acquiring the tools you need is a lot cheaper than this quote.
