ps dont be affraid to leave plenty of time between coats, it helps get a flatter finish

oki doki with straight 2k colour providing you mix each batch precisely and lay enough paint to fully cover the panel then you wont get any colour variance painting panels seperatly (unless its along time between painting days). if your car has been outside or damp alot since you primed the guards then id sand most of it off and slap one more coat on just to help stop any moisture blisters later on as for gun look for a second hand sata or devilbiss even a well used one sprays better than a random Chinese brand, infact i could probably prise one from a painter at work, i use my gti pro for base clear and 2k and have 2 aircaps for extra wank factor between 1k and 2k paints but its not necessary

come onto the magical facebook mr alan, you can sweet talk to me about paint if you like

watch out with that chain, when they break they fly right though the engine cases and make a bloody big oily mess. have you taken your chain and sprockets into trevor pierce yet? the parts guy is supper helpfull and would probably send off what you have to be matched up into a working set, failing that you could get him to order a blank sprocket in the correct pitch and have it drilled to suit

timing/flywheel cover is on the left hand side (IIRC), rip that off and throw a timing light on it. the markings should be very clear and simple (its normally even labeled TDC) and as josh said its cdi so very unlikely its out

will run but the feedback would fuck with everything, including the old lady that lives next doors pacemaker

teeheeeheee

and now is a good time to change the ratio if you need more pop or top

any bike shop, helps to take in a sample with older stuff like this, std roller chain and cheap sprockets shouldn't set you back anymore than $80 try trevor peirce yamaha first you may be surprised how competitive there prices are and ALOT more helpfull than budget mc

just get new, its not worth messing and mixing with used parts they will wear 10 times as fast and the fuckeredness could be part of your vibration problem (it also saps much needed power)

they may have but they'll be as hard as a hardened lump of hard stuff, solid mount is the only way to go tbh, flex in the arse end of an old machine is bad enough for the chain you don't want to be adding more

woah woah dont rubber mount it, rubber mounts flex and throw chains off/chop legs off. check your chain alignment and tension, flywheel and clutch are tight ect then glue everything on with locktite and enjoy the vibrations

vac leak? shitty tappet clearance? maybe even a BHG?

or just buy mipa 2k flat black, its already mixed to go and its cheap. temperature and hardener will also effect it, the slower the hardener the more gloss and colder temps will let it gloss over more

providing you won't get coil bind, tyre clearance issues or the shock bottoming out then go for broke

you can buy multimeters with the same pulse/rpm function for less than the cost of a deez tach and its far more usefull

it choose a solid insert (ie time-sert) over a wire coil for any fluid fitting just me being pedantic but hey i like to throw my 2c about occasionally

so an old man once told me

the lead is also a 'cushion'/lube for the valve seats so even an inlet will wear considerably faster with unleaded gas

are they fitted with an air flow meter? best tune up ever is getting theat cleaned and re-calibrated also if there is an air intake temp sensor check that, when they fail it can tell the ecu its fucking freezing and will crank the fuel up

take a look down at the right hand side of the drivers floor, foot look too heavy? my mrs car has nearly twice the frugleness when she drives than when i drive and thats both our 'normal' driving

i just want the right hoses, i know when i brought them (still have the maccas receipt from accross the road) and they are still as i brought them with the labels on (which had i looked in the shop would have seen were wrong right away)

which super cheap do you work at? i brought some rad hoses that were wrong (her fault not mine honest) but i lost the receipt. can i still swap them? /SPAM

sorry i must have been asleep earlier when i said honda or 2zz what i ment was steam power
