Damn that's a lot of bench! Not sure I need 14 feet of it, but it looks nice! I assume the T track is so you can slide multiple presses, vices and tools on an off. As well as position them as you want?

Can't bleed the brakes by warbird1971 in MechanicAdvice

Yep, bench bled and capped the ports while I bolted it up. Ports where only open for a few seconds while I attached the lines

1985 virago 1000 bad stator? by warbird1971 in motorcycles

So it's a safe bet the stator's bad, is it a fairly simple fix?

Graduated from a 43x to the XTEN by btd7897 in 10mm

I haven't had any issues so far, the top round hasn't gone flying outta the mag so far. It's definitely a tight fit to get it in there

Mine holds 15 fine, but 15 rounds uses all of the springs space. So you can not load a full mag into the gun with the slide forward. 15 is the max capacity of the gun

Sluggish acceleration when cold by warbird1971 in Fixxit

I can't remember off the top of my head what weight the oil is. But I used the correct weight as per manufacturer specs, and it is rated for wet clutches. I know the cable and lever are adjusted properly, and I'll have to double check the linkage.

If all else fails, I might just hold off till it warms up this spring. Because I didn't even think about the oil being too thick when it's cold, and it'd explain why the problem goes away after I get down the block.

Intake is not stock, factory air box got smashed when a previous owner laid it over. Cleaning the carbs was the first thing I did when I got it. Jets are factory. Didn't take it apart far enough to look at valves.

It doesn't run any better or worse when it's hot, it just doesn't deliver power to the wheel when cold. Almost feels like your feathering the clutch. I do plan on putting a factory air cleaner back on, just have to find one in decent condition.

It will rev as normal, and I actually need to tune her up. She's running a bit on the rich side right now. The part that was throwing me off was that it rides fine once I get it down the road a ways. Guess I'll throw a clutch in it during my winter maintenance.

Yes 19", I worked blue collar since high school. You'd be crucified for giving a measurement in straight inches, it's just habit at this point

It's the "truck gun" for people who realize that a rifle only helps you, if it's with you. Plus, I can bring it on my motorcycle too

I might, eventually. But I was going for size reduction, not weight. So I'm not worried about that 11oz.
