Hi Duane,
 I also have a '72 Jackpiner I'm working on. Any copies of your information would be helpful. I would be glad to pay for copying/postage. My e-mail address is [email protected] Thanks,Steve

 

Has anyone tried using 100LL aviation fuel?

 

Thanks for the information, Doug.

 

I have a '72 Jackpiner with a single tail light. To get the bike inspected in New York State it needs a brake light also. Has anyone done a modification to include both a tail light and brake light? Will the electrical system handle both? Where is the best place to install a brake light switch? Thanks for any advice.

 

I need to replace the crankshaft seals on my '72 175cc. Jackpiner. Do I need specal tools? Does the engine need to come out of the frame? Can an average person (me) do this? Thanks for any advice!

 

I hope someone can help me with this. I have a 175 Jackpiner, 1972 , that was in a barn for several years. I did the usual cleanup (renewed carb parts, plug, air cleaner, fluid change etc.). The engine started and ran well for a minute, then progressively more smoke came out the tailpipe and the engine seemed to "load up" or "four stroke". At this point it will barely run with full throttle, with lots of smoke out the back. Any clue as to what I should check?
