Fair enough. I guess it's like I kind of lost passion for it... I remember doing oil changes and gear oils regularly and all that but lately I just kind of let it sit, and it sucks, cause ironically every time I do drive it, I am like HOLY FNG A MAN THIS IS AWESOME. I can safely say the gear...

Hi! So, Here in AZ it is now 108-115 depending on the mood and I was wondering about the rubber stability in the wheel cylinders. I replaced them [all 4] 1.5 years ago, but only drive the Deuce once every other week for about 30 minutes. I am wondering if there is a life span on the integrity...

No offense taken! I am “familiar” with the TM’s but in all truth I only utilized them for actually repairing/replacing parts… Not sure why but didn’t really think to look at them for maintenance purposes.

Hello! So, I don’t have a fancy layout. I have my Deuce parked side yard on the dirt. There’s no comfort, no shade, no mechanics tools. Last time I changed all my fluids, I sat under/laid on my back in the dirt with a stupid ass hand pump (that blew the lid off many times under pressure and all...

Believe me I am happy too. It’s like I knew it was all correct, I knew I did it right (only cause I verified like 3 times) and so it not working really have me anxiety and loss of sleep. I knew it was a fuel issue I just could not fathom why it would not start or even attempt. I mean I suppose...

Another moral of the story is ; if you have a leak, don’t fix it just to get rid of the leak. It’s a 50 year old engine! IT LEAKS

I had the Tow Truck on speed dial. Yes, it now starts up beautifully on its own. If I was talking to you in private chat I’d almost say I nearly cried. I thank you all for all of your help and keeping me going with ideas and even KNOWING I was getting stubborn and bratty and still being...

One Spray; Nothing Two Spray; Clunk Clunk Nothing Hey Bella go sit in the seat for me and push the start button til I say stop. Third Spray; Sounded like something was wrong, Nothing. Fourth Spray and unloaded that can; Fired Up and sounds gorgeous. Let it run for 5 mins. Shut it off. Turned...

I got the can of ether, sprayed some in but it did not take. NOW with that being said, I barely sprayed any cause of all the negative things I heard... I went and sprayed more and then the truck would not turn... I mean , how? Yeah.. Both batteries 2x12 both died. Probably due to my trying 10000...

Well ether doesn’t work. I’m done. **** it

Alright. I will do that and definitely be gentle cause I know there’s nothing to regulate the spray going in. I will hit up O’Reilly or whomever and get it. Thank you

Right wrong good bad. I just sprayed a good amount of carb cleaner in the air intake closer to the engine. NOTHING. dude.’is there like an equivalent to a glow plug or a spark plug or something shit went bad???

Jack at the local surplus yard keeps saying it’s gotta be something with the fuel shut off and that I verified externally every link and everything is good, that it’s gotta be inside. Maybe the nib fell out?

Alright. Left work early lost lay, cause I need to figure this out. VERIFIED TDC. Correct Engine timed on balancer, 2 front rockers have play in them. Rotated again, 0 play, rotated again and has play. That engine is TDC. VERIFIED the white tooth is 100% dead spot on VERIFIED red tooth is 1...

Believe it or not, that was the guide I had used. As a matter of fact, in the 5 years I have had this thing, I have taken out the IP 3 times and all times after it went in, it fired up like a dream. But something is different this time around. And to be even more as a matter of fact, those...

Also, in the TM, where would "timing your engine" be? I seem to not be able to find it, I even looked under the IP/Fuel section. Maybe I am overlooking it?

I will indeed be doing this alone. Now that I think about it, when I was doing it before (angling radiator and removing fan blade) I was cranking it with a huge socket. Anyway, when I saw the marks line up, the 2 front (near radiator) rockers had 0 movement. I rotated the engine again until the...

So 4 stroke meaning it will be 1 of 4 rotations where I need to find the correct TDC?

Roger that. I believe TDC would be where the 2 front rockers (By radiator) would be able to wobble only so slightly where as not TDC they will both be tight and unmovable? That has been my understanding? Also it, if I set it and the 2 front are unmovable, I just do 1 more stroke as it is only 2...

Really the only last 2 things it could be are; 1.) Let’s say I timed everything right, except it was not TDC. Yes or No, even if it ran like a PoS, WOULD it run? If it would NOT run at all being I was not TDC the. I’ll look into that. If it WILL run, but crappy, I’ll look into that, later. 2.)...
