A package was delivered today by a seasonal FedEx worker, servant, slave, or whatever corporate refers to them as. Certainly not an employee. I...

Make sure your axle is tight , that’s what holds the brake housing from moving . Tighten the axle first then tighten the pinch clamp .

It's the enricher that changed during some point, that made cold starts easier, not the jetting, AFAIK. There's a good bit of info about that on...

Now that we are happy with where the jetting is, we decided to finally install the airbox, otherwise, the airbox would have needed to come off as...

We finally have some more progress to report! Not much has been done to the Tecate after the previous videos of the initial startup, and getting the...

I appreciate the response, after looking at a 1986 carb on partzilla I have realized that the carb is the same design as the 85 carb with I am...

Those two carbs you linked are completely different in how they work. One is a constant velocity (CV) and the other is manual, some older folk may...

Did you put the two retaining screws back in though the brake drum?

I redid my front brakes on my 86 250es and the brake cover is a little loose I don't remember it being that way. Any help is appreciated

Here is a sneak peak of my newest creation

I found a bit more information on this.

Did more to my big black.

I use them for about everything they're not meant for because they mostly fail at that. A left handed drill bit has about an equal chance of removing...

Oh, of COURSE that's an easy out! Duh. Never even thought of that, because I don't think of using one in that situation. If it was me that removed...

I was sitting at the computer desk and decided to have another crack at an old digital picture frame that hasn't worked right in years. Once...

:lol::lol: I know what tool that was. With the JB Weld, it's not exactly ruined if it doesn't work. It'll be a bit labor intensive to...

No o-ring. It's just pressed in. So, full disclosure...I did something foolish. I have had a couple carb kits with replaceable float valve seats...
