hmm ok are all the jets free? is the float good and heres the painful one is the needle valve clean clear and seating? it sounds like a fuel/oil issue

also if either crank seal is bad it wont want to run either

 

['00 WO-YA!]

The needle looks like it's seating good & the needle itself looks good. I'm going to pull the carb apart & check everything inside until I'm happy. Also, the crank seal is another reason I ordered the flywheel puller, I want to be able to check the seals condition.

 

[duneracerweston]

the needle valve is that piece that the float raises and lowers to govern fuel flow into the carb

 

['00 WO-YA!]

My bad man, I was thinkin needle jet, like I said, I'll check it.

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Well, RM stator doesn't have a ready to go out the door stator for this bike but they can repair the stocker if necessarry. I have a manual coming so i'll be able to troubleshoot this thing, how would some of you guys work that into the bill?

 

[duneracerweston]

id work it under shop supplies/misc and i have experience with rm reworking stuff and it works just like new when you get it back

Compression, honey, it kicked back & damn near broke my ankle, lol! It's got compession for sure. It did foul a plug but we had a couple good ones since we have 2 smokers around. I ordered a flywheel puller for it a few minutes ago, it fits Blasty too so I'm good on that, no loss there.

I may call RM, get some specs & a price.

lets not call me "honey" mmk? Thanks

 

['00 WO-YA!]

^no disrespect meant.

[duneracerweston]

if there was a fight break out my moneys on "honey" lmao

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Lol, I get the feelin she fights dirty! Just a vibe I'm pickin up, lol!

 

[warriorgirl09]

only when it's called for . i'm a good girl i'm just not a "honey" i know my **** when it comes to engines

 

['00 WO-YA!]

In that case I can use you this w/e, get your ass to Va, lol! Seriously tho, I really meant no disrespect, it was more of a way to seperate my response to you from the others. On a side note, I'm 31 & maybe just a lil old fashioned & just have tendancy to speak to Women using terms like "Honey", "Love", "Miss" or "Maam" & whether or not you're a good mechanic I prefer to speak to you cordially out of respect, "Honey". Now, I see from your sig that you have had tons of Bike/Quads, what's your experience with this old turd?

 

[warriorgirl09]

just check spark, check plug for gas, and check your 120 jiggawatt FLUX capacitors... and blinker fluid

 

['00 WO-YA!]

10-4, I'll check the muffler bearings too, can't be too sure about these things!

 

[warriorgirl09]

no really though make sure the head pipe is clear and take the muffler off and try her

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Sure will, thanks.

 

['00 WO-YA!]

Back to the 465 tomorrow, I don't mess with it every day so Sat. is my primary day to work with it. I picked up a Clymer manual for it today, it looks like a decent manual. Hopefully I can get this beast runnin! I really wanna hear it run & more than that I wanna get paid, lol! WO-YA money!

 

['00 WO-YA!]

It lives! It's evil! I wanna buy it, lol!
