  2. I won't be able to make tomorrows. Give em to Al, and he can bring to next bike night.
  3. I can pick you up/drop you off, keen for catchups etc.
  4. Seeing I've had this car for a little over 20 years now! Some 14 years after the last post in this thread, a thing happened: She's a big unit thats for sure. Makes a W58 look like a k40! Some things are happening and have been happening. Wasn't gonna post anything up until i'd got through most of the build. But here is a bit of a sneak peek for the jag foamers on this forum Will save up some progress before any more posts. Never got Jags out of my system. So getting back amongst it after more than 20 years of pining.
  5. It would only fire once per cycle. Fuel can sit in the runner waiting for its intake to open. My link only had 2 injector drivers. So was firing in batches of 6. Seemed to run ok (its all happening so fast i guess?) Anyway, on the jag front. Will be posting some updates later this year, so watch this space
  6. For my 883, which had been sitting for god knows how long, I just unplugged the ignition module (so it wouldn't generate spark), and took out spark plugs so there was no compression to reduce/remove load on crank etc. I had the carb off too, but could just hold it WOT. Bit of crc down the bore and just wound it over till I could see oil pumping back into the tank, This was from completely dry too. I actually cracked the oil filter to check the pump was pumping, as soon as oil started to come out here I nipped it up and continued to crank until it was returning back to the pump. This took a while. I'd assume evo big twins would also be roller crank, so doesn't need oil in the same way that standard bearings do. If you're super worried, could pull the rocker covers and put some oil on the rockers/valves. Could also lift pushrod tubes and put some oil on the lifters. Do pull the bowl off the carb and give it a clean, will no doubt have some misery in there. Check the jets to see if they're obscured with shit too. Do you have an S&S carb too? They're super simple so get in there!
  7. Nay, hiace got dicked by rust before i had a chance. hah. Still a dream though, 1gge anything!
  8. Chairs dudes, Have had a look at ali too. @yoeddynz Are they decent, some of the reviews seemed a bit ham. Will snoop to see if i can find any sections of straight tube too.
  9. Does anyone know of a good cheap source or have hookups for stainless exhaust pipe combo bends. I'm after some 1.75" combos to build some extractors. I've found this guy, but he's out of stock, and hasn't replied to my queries as of yet. https://fabdepot.co.nz/products/304-stainless-steel-uj-combo-bend?_pos=1&_sid=51671a6fe&_ss=r&variant=40937386737829
  10. Yeah, has the 3 ball ramp. Ive made sure the balls are deep and there is still plenty of pull before is start to adjust it, It has perfect amount of throw, and releases properly. But its just still so firm. Could be the new cable is a dud, the old one was pretty stiff, but clutch feels exactly the same. haha. My ramps look steep, the replacement mechanism i got (v-twin cheapie) has way shallower ramps, but it still feels the same? I don't know.
  11. Tis a wet clutch. Ima try tomorrow to switch the other release mechanism in now its got the new cable. @Lord Gruntfuttock, is your clutch miserably hard?
  12. Final chapter of the brutally hard clutch saga. I replaced the clutch cable as this was the last part of the clutch system i haven't replaced. Still hard as fuck. Yay. I have replaced: Clutch basket Clutch plates Clutch release mechanism Clutch springs Clutch spring spacers Cable Lever and bracket Still brutally stiff. I don't know. Looks exactly the same as my other one, which has a clutch as soft as butter. I don't know. What turds.
  13. Oil leaks fixed! Just got a clean sheet wof for nats. Indicator broke off with metal fatigue on the way back. Excellent.
  14. Shit yes, The dedication for kick start is sooo good. Love it. Any chance i'd be able to borrow that kick ratchet alignment tool you made some time as I've got an electric only ironhead waiting in the wings that i want to convert to kick only.
  15. Rad! The amount of force on that sprocket cover bush is mental. Cutting away the cover may cause it to break. It was a real problem with the 77 covers. HD actually released a fix for it. A little bolt on bracket to add support for the bushed area of the sprocket cover. These are only for the 77 and are also NLA. I made my own one for my bike. Wonder if you should do something similar while its all appart? Look like this: Will need to figure out a way to mount it to your sprocket cover. But then you can wail on that kicker with no worries about it giving way!
  16. I don't really know, i'd expect it to last longer than 3 years though. Though laptop hardware usually has a harder time than a desktop as they tend to run hotter and have zero airflow. Which takes it toll. If you get a replacement, make sure to go SSD as they are orders of magnitude faster than conventional hard drives. And they cheap as chips now, and probably last longer as they aren't mechanical. Have a look at getting a google account with google drive. Its free (for 15gigs and can pay to get more) but ideal for keeping things you don't want to lose when your computer dies.
  17. Could be getting old and the hard drive starting to fail. Usually when they're starting to die, they slow down heaps. Quick fix would be to backup all your files (to google or usb stick, or cd or something) and buy a SSD hard drive and get a techie to put that in for you. Should speed it up something fierce.
  18. Also, Is there anyone on here who can Laser cut flanges?
  19. I'll be dipped. Bone dry oil system! Have never seen that in all my 2 stroke shenanigans. You can hold the oil pump WOT to get it to prime the lines faster while the bike is just idling.
  20. yes, generally it is the wifi password. Sometimes printers require 2.4ghz wifi and won't work with 5ghz even though they can see the 5ghz network. So if your router has 2 wifis pick the 2.5Ghz one for the printer.
  21. Any 2T oil will do. Maybe not marine.. hah. Bleed the lines, you should be able to find the oil pump, its often behind the sprocket cover on my small suzukis anyway. I usually just fire it up on some premix, and let it idle, but pull the pump throttle on max, you should be able to see oil moving through the lines with a torch. Mind you, Ive never come across an old 2stroke where the lines are empty. So probably fine to just fill up the oil tank, pop a bit of premix in the fuel tank, fire it up, and hold the oil pump WOT for a couple of mins.
