[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 198489, member: 98"] Well no I’m not giving up on hooch ...I’ve been very busy working on new homestead minus the shedevil...I think the exoerience with the copper head gaskets ...led to much higher compression ..I’m thinking now hooch requires premium gas and also an electric fuel pump ....and I also think the motor got damaged some from when it shut off once and then came back on with a huge yank on the motor causing it to knock now ....I want to change the short block out with another motor ...trying to get one now ...and get back to where regular pump gas will work in it ...and maybe go through the motor I have now to try and find the lower end problem .....it was a bad day loosing all the oldwing stuff to last me forever to the shedevil .....but I’m coming back ....the new place where I’m living is ten times bigger more secluded and about 1/8 mile from some of the best bike roads in the country to travel ....to me hooch is a one of a kind bike ...I put on who knows how many miles on it before I made the bad move of milling the block down by hand ...sometimes being able to do something is just what’s needed to really screw something up LOL ....the hooch bike in all ways was super reliable bike that made many road trips ....but the motor now is more like a drag strip bike now ....hooch will be back :builder: [/QUOTE]
