Aww she is so good to me. Have not driven her in 3+ weeks. She started up with a purr. Drive like saint. Ugh. Just wish I invested more time.

Well being Hidden does not make ya easy to find! Right on... Never heard of it and I have been here 43 years. Also, that makes sense as the UV is what does the main killing. There is much I want to do but man until I get concrete floors and some other tools, gonna be hard to do. And then...

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?
