Sorry, but I beleive you are asking the wrong site and people. Ever hear of the term shithouse lawyer?

Another issue with these carbs: Air filter set ups. Are they avaialable for bike set ups? I would never run a street motor w/o one.

Start checking prices on parts for these carbs. Ill bet...

Great story

Highest recommendation is be sure you have a title or you can get one before spending bucks on somenthing you might not be able to ride

Check easy things first:

1. Running an inline gas filter? Most off the shelfs can constrict fuel flow
2. Filthy petcock screen filter or filthy pet cock? Un beleivable how gummed up a pet...

A discovered pin hole, AKA, rust, means lotsa things: In other words, you have lots more just waiting to breech the surface. Patching one, and then painting the tank, will just buy you a little...

The Del Orto/weber thing was popluar in the late 70's into the 80's and then kinda went away. I cant speak for how they worked, but some complained about how far they stuck out into the drivers leg....

My money is on the in line filter, new or not (I have found they are VERY restrictive, new or not) , and a crappy/filthy petcock that needs to be replaced

So heres athought How many of you guys outhere are using chinese made parts on your builds?i

Over half the aftermarket parts are chinese made, so why not? If you havent seen them, they have been making SS E carb clones for a couple of years now

Would one consider Indians clones?

At a job I had in the past, there was a break room for the employees. It was really nice, had one of those cup maker coffee things, always stocked, free water, free snacks, etc, and a community...

Dang Didnt even see how old that OP was

"Gladiator" school means prison.

Had another roomy that would take all his bottles, milk cartons, etc in the shared fridge and mark them with a marker so he could see if someone had drank...

Prison

Too commercialized, too many people, too expensive Sturgis is a place that one should go to once.
After that, at least to me, thats it

Yeah

I was there for about 2-3 months, and beleive it or not, it was getting old. Not allot of sleep, and eventually, all sorts of strangers starting showing up at the house doing blow.

Its like 1989. I'm an E5 in the Army and just settled a painful divorce. 'Bout the only thing I had left was my scoot.

I rode allot back then outside of Ft Bragg, (Fayetteville, NC) and titty...

Also, you need to be aware you might need fork stops so the triple tree doesnt slam into your frame or gas tank, your brake, clutch, throttle, speedo lines (if front wheel mounted) and any electrical...

Dude Take the time to attach your pics in your post in the "manage attachments" button Links suck

You are more likley to get answers if folks can see your problem right in your post

Hmmm

My rear spark plug was finger tight, and the only way I can figure the water got in, was through that spark plug hole.

You said a spark plug was loose. which is why I went there

I'm thinking the answer is most likely no, unless its sold to someone else and the VIN has problems when the new owner goes to get the title in thier name

BUT...... Who says a states DMV wont...

So I cheked with a Law Dog on this thing: Yes, its real. It would be a shame if you went to title your build and it comes up an already used or invalid VIN.

We all know there are/was shortcuts...

Just me.....

I have gotten old motors (HDs, V8, 4 cylinders, etc) that have sat for years to fire right up in most cases with a liitle clean up

Bore scoping helps (Which wont tell you...

BEFORE you start getting a frame and spending $$$, you need to first consider two things

1. Do you have a title? If not, are you sure you can get one? Why spend bucks on something you cant even...

The OP has a good point Prices and quality. Price doesnt mean quality, and I can understand where he is coming from.

Bottomline, shop around on the net when you need a part. I have found...

On another note, I would not bother with rebuilding the forks unless its really needed (I doubt it at 39K) More to it than you might imagine
