about 3-4 years ago i spied an ad in the local trade and exchange for a suzuki scooter - going $50 so i thought to myself, that would probably be mean to dort around uni on when i start drive to the out skirts of whakatane to see it. Get there and its a bit rough, paint is tired and the seat was missing its cover, then the guy says "oh its not actually going, my cousin borrowed it and it hasnt been going since" I figure, hey i may as well look it over its a 2 stroke how hard can it be. Offer the guy $20, he takes it. Get it home and start looking it over - kick start wont engage (at this point i took the gearbox cover off to figure it all out) turnout if you adjust the rear brake on these incorrectly it prevents you from activating the kick start "clutch". 3 kicks and we had her going. Then filled out the form, got numberplate and rego I had it uni for my first year - mean for runs to the supermarket or whatever + uses no fuel. I later made a red pleather seat cover and drilled another hole in the exhaust for performance i then sold this on just after i got my vt250 My brother about 6 months after i got mine, got this one so races were a daily occurance - his has an up jetted carb and polished engine/crankcase + hes lighter than me so he had a 5kph top speed advantage. anyway, this one is currently sitting in my shed. He brought it over with him when he started uni saying "its hard to start" so i had a look at it Thats why its hard to start Circlip came out and destroyed the piston, rings and bore. Bolted a new set on and shes ding ding dinging again latest acquisition is this being an "old suzuki" i assumed it was an fa50. later this image was added confirming the fact i figure il have it going in quick order (if it wants a new piston and bore i think il pay the extra $20 and get an 80cc kit ) put it in the system, tehn flick on discussion of all things fa50 are welcome

fuck yes

get them from fastener place - in stainless i think lownslow got some not long ago

get some good penetrating fluid, spray it on the effected area/entire car once a day for a week everything should be good and loose by then - will take a week to try force them out regardless

this i would say they could make up anything you wanted too

v8 conversion you faggot hairdresser

sweet, it has all become clear now

hmm, i was thinking bashing it/squeezing it in a vice - but that idea does sound interesting

or in this case im building a set of manifolds for twin carbs (1 1/8th inch SU's) the intake port is about an inch square and the carb is 1 1/8th inch round. Now i am thinking just a piece of pipe will suffice (each will be separate for now) but are their any tricks on how i can match the two up?

sweet just got 7 flanges cut (seperated the exhaust and inlet and plus 2 for the carb end) all cut from 10mm steel $65 including postage big ups to reautomotive

dear sir light truck tyres are oldschool as fuck yours sincerely Tortron

guy with starmax has?

how loose is the belt?

being a mitsi most other alternators from that era are probably the same

have a ring around the local auto electricians, get them to test it to see what is wrong may or may not be repairable or measure the mounts on the alternator and try find out its output - then hit up a wreckers for something similar

are you fucking joking

you buy it and do just that

thats gay

na tomorow morning and im a cocky cunt/may delete these posts if i dont
