Thanx, I'm putting a 410 Stormer together and the fuel tank has me nervous.

Lindemann,
   Are you telling me to "prep" ONLY with the lacquer thinner and SKIP the ketone?
(on a fiberglass tank)

 

I mentioned "oil of wintergreen" in another one (of your threads). An "Old school" Harley guy in another forum SWEARS by it !

I've always had excellent success with PB powerblaster.

 

Steve, I read in another forum about using
"Oil of Wintergreen" to "free-up" stuck pistons. I've never used it personally, BUT it is supposedly available at "better" drugstores. Good Luck

 

Pretty darned cool

 

Neighbor kid races the GNCC series (on a KTM), and uses Sunoco Race Fuel 1part to 4parts hi-test...never has failures

 

I'm still very curious about that engine..."Hiro" just doesn't have a "mediterranean ring" to it.

whatever you do DON'T use the stuff in the small bottles at the auto parts. It's over 90% mineral spirits and will run as hot as a firecracker......No good for aircooled engines. The ethanol/methanol warning on your '85 model is because the eth/meth will deteriorate your fuel lines and any other rubber parts (needle valve tip etc.)

Good Luck !......Talk about a second chance !

 

update:  Went to the garage this morn. Checked for air leaks, Adjusted the bleed screws properly (wrapped them w/teflon tape)It idles real well now but shuts down at max. rpm's...I think it's loading...Should I drop the needle?

 

Here's the deal, I tore the carb. apart last week & cleaned it all up. when i reassembled & installed it I turned on the petcock on it didn't dribble so I figured I was good to go.
ha! ha! apparently these bings have NO overflow feature so when the needle valve stuck it just went ahead and filled the crankcase cavity up. So at this point it was so loaded up that I have no clue how it's really gonna run. I'll adjust the air screw properly and check for an intake leak and then take it for a good ride to clear it out real good and then I'll let you guys know what I find.
     Seems like it's gonna be a fun little bike.

 

Just checked the Monroeville phone book and there's several "Clemente's" including a
DF Clemente......I'm headed up there now to look for Mexican dirtbikes.....LOL

 

Not me...but I DID race in Hannastown (Country Springs)several years later !

 

I'm not a member, BUT I sure would like to be invited also....just a short "hop" up the "pike"       Truly, Dante

 

I'm waiting patiently.....
