Awesome guys. I will check on each of those things before I try to start again.(although for some reason I cant seem to find timing belt setup in any of my manuals. I have a "Honda shop manual, a Haynes manual and a Clymer) Thanks for some direction.

I was recently gifted a 75 trike. The former owner pulled the motor to do some tinkering and had it all in pcs. seemed like he did a pretty good job putting it back together until... he went to start it. (side note: bofore starting for the first time... this bike was outfitted with a single carb...

BK: Nice indeed. I love it. Thats thinking outside the box. I love how you utilized the original mounting to get around all the extra tubing and bracketry (if thats a word) associated with the aftermarket systems.

Awesome Husky: I agree, it isnt easy but wouldn't you say its totally worth the effort? I would say that Beav is the best. All hail The Beav. :)

Now, I am 6'2" and around 220 lbs. How many of you are the same size or bigger riding one of these wings? If you are, do you feel to big for the bike? Just curious. I dont think Ill get rid of it because I just love everything about it but, im just curious.

Wow, look at that. we resolved some bike issues, some rider issues (me) and some personal issues. What a website. Great Job everyone. Thanks so much. I bought some patches from this site and will wear them with pride. BTW... went riding around for a little while on saturday. Man, she runs like a...

Just wanted to know what some of you have done or would suggest in terms of Floorboards and or Highway pegs/boards. I have seen a few driver floorboard kits on ebay and such for pretty cheap but, I have read that some folks have needed to modify the heck out of them. (I dont necessarily mind...

Hey Darrel. Welcome from Illinois also. Youre going to love being here.

Update: Finally got it all back together, (took some time polishing the manifolds and vacuum covers since I had it all off the bike anyway) and started right up. ran a little rough at first but thats mostly because my idle stop was set really high. Anyway, once the bike was warming up...

Did you use Martin strings, D'Addario strings, Ernie Ball strings or some other brand? (Or does it make a difference? :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy: ) As a matter of fact, they actually were D'Addario. Good Call. :)

Update: I let the Jets soak in Berrymans all night, used some mandolin strngs (mandorider, get it?) to clear out the holes. 1 of the 4 jets was clear. the other 3 had all holes totally clogged. all 9 holes. (8 on the sides and 1 down the center) it wasnt easy to unclog them. tried...

Youre the best Beav: I went to Ace at lunch and they had the #2 hansen extractor. I purchased it and succesfully removed all 4 jets. I cleaned out the little holes with a wire and currently have all 4 jets soaking in berrymans Chem-dip carburetor cleaner. My next question is... should...

Ok, the #2 easyout doesnt fit. To large. Im scared to try the #1.

Geez, you guys are all such a big help. Well, I figured since its a few months until I can ride, why not pull the carbs. I did that on saturday. A little challenging but with the instructions I found on this site, I managed to do it without any real problems. Hardest part (of course) is the...

Its funny, I pressed the button called new topic although this is probably an old old old topic. Anyway, here it is, Il spell it out some and then answer with all I have read. Please toss in your thoughts. I bought an 81. Unbelievable bike. Starts perfect. Looks perfect. No rust, very minor...
