    Nailed it Steve! Start with the cap because it intrigues me the most...looks like a 70's Dodge Charger flip cap and if it is, it is the second expensive piece. The front wheel is vintage and Bobby Espy (Director of local chapter of BTW) said if I get it re-nickel plated, was a thousand dollar...

    30 second update: I finished up the gal except for the paint, just buffed it out an she looked great. A gent gave me a call and wanted to make an offer. He showed up with a trailer and a deal was struck. Two weeks later the missus missed her ride and wanted me to find a replacement trike...

    Take a look and listen (video)

    Nuts, nothing easy. Makes me almost wish I was in snow country again just to get this lady back on the road....................almost! Might just have to make a run to the Yamaha dealership and take the old Mikuni in and see what they have on the 2-stroke 4 runners that may work. The...

    Yep the K340 2AS motor was replace with a SK340 2AS and also did away with the oil injection. The carbs came with the motor and I thought I would give them a try. Before I set them up, I took them apart and the left looked like a new gasket set was installed. I used a gasket kit on the right...

    Now, anyone know how to set Walbro WD 6 carbs. She bogs down at half throttle. Ye ole internet said to set the idle @ 1-1/4 out, but nothing on the power screw.

    OK So the smoke I was seeing was a bad thing...lost compression on #1 at a bike show no less Good news is I found a Kohler 340, bad news it was out of a snowmobile and not oil injected. Good news is that it had dual carb, bad news was I had to relocate the shift cable to get around the carbs...

    Medical advise

    Multitude of sins :doah: I thought there was a vent in the cap, so I tapped over a hole on the filler neck to keep the dirt dobbers out. There wasn't a check valve listed in the parts book, but the "weight" that was at the bottom of the line was a filter and yep, it was toast. The non-flexible...
