I told you Roost would know

I'm pretty sure Roost has done it... I'd shoot him a PM

I tried to post them all but I ran into some sort of limitation..

How about blinker fluid, muffler bearings, or knuter valves?
Nah, just bored and stirring it up
This site is awesome.
Took me months but I think I have read about everything tech wise on it.
A lot of knowledge has been passed on and recorded.
Thank you Banned fans!

Ouch

Not the first time this name has come up with negativity attached to it.

Don't make me bring out the kid pics....

Hey, where is all the tech stuff???
I'm getting withdrawals
No time to work on my own bikes due to a aging house needing repairs so I'm getting my fix here so someone please post something cool...

I would swap that carb out.... I didn't realize that you were running a Dellorto...

Or weld a nut to it and take it off with a wrench or socket.

Ok, If the carb and boot checks out ok, you might want to toss in some crank seals.
It certainly can't hurt

Sounds like a classic air leak.
I'd start with a thorough inspection of the carb and the carb boot.
From there I would do leak down test.
When is the last time the engine was rebuilt?

Welcome to the site.
As I have aged, my bikes have gotten bigger and faster.
At some point, something has got to give

I have a proposal for any member... Take a look at this head https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/af8f57dc250d089730ad82c6f1b12776.png I want to experiment with a protective chemical called Sharkhide.

Here is a link to how the process works. http://www.vaporblastingequipment.com/wet-blasting/what-wetblasting-guide-vapor-blasting-process You can get a starter machine for about 2k http://www.wetblasting.com/Products/3624-Vapor-Blast-Machine This is where I bought mine http://www.wetblasting.com/

WELL.... I bought a used one.... It was completely rebuilt by the company I bought it from. I'll get a link to the company later. In the mean time here is a link to my sad story... http://www.oem-cycle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=815 So to answer your question, I paid 4900.00 for a used one an...

These parts were done as experiments and not all are perfect but you can see the potential...
The big thing is the time... A brake caliper takes about 4-5 minutes to do if it's really nasty..

More stuff

Might work really nice.
I have a huge hot water parts washer sitting doing nothing so I'm gonna try it to see how it does,
Check out this pic... Notice the white powdery looking stuff?
That is blast media..

Another salvage yard in town has a big Sonic cleaner.
He is coming over tomorrow or Friday to compare results.. I'll keep you posted.

I've never tried the dry ice blaster but I can say that after using my Vapor Blaster for a few days I'm selling my soda blaster..... Cheap!
The one thing you have to watch is that it is imperative to fully rinse your part when done....
