@rojid Glad its sorted! The corrosion may have been something to do with it but I have also heard that with a low battery voltage it keeps spinning the starter (but not fast enough/with enough RPM fo...

Nice. I use a Snap-on bent 8mm/10mm wrench for brakes and clutch bleeders. It is tight but it gets the job done. Attachment : image.png

Yes, you want lube on mating conical bearing surface to prevent galling. I typically put on vinyl glove, hold the nut in that hand and very light spray graphite over conical mating surface which inhe...

@meatman< there are a lot of opinions on this subject and I don’t know that I know the correct answer, but reading the tread on the subject is a good idea. With that said, one of the inspections ...

@rjbender Hi Rod. Unfortunately I cannot give you exact measurements at the moment. In the photo of the two 42mm sockets above, mine is on the left and the machined-down one belongs to WISKO on the...

This sounds like one of those fun issues! If the problem has been with a previous engine and now one this one then we should be able to rule out the engine. I would also suggest that it isn't a proble...

@jonasr1 Another interesting one! Has the problem been since a rebuild or just started? Firstly I would be looking at some basics, although it sounds like you have covered most, have you replaced/che...

@daviff, I agree with @parsonsj that changing spark plugs is worth trying. A few years ago I was out on track and the car lost power and started running roughly and didn't want to idle. I tried a bun...

@parsonsj Nice, I have not tried Chin yet. I was at the PBOC Winterfest in January they put on a great 3 day event with DE, Sprint and Enduro Races, Time Trials and a Live band with free food and beer...
