  1. carb to cylinder. PS: The carb to airbox boots were perfect and needed no attention.
  2. CASTROL RED RUBBER GREASE 50 gram, BRAKE CYLINDERS, SEALS, O RINGS | eBay
  3. 1+ year ago I did a wintergreen job on a set of BB carb boots. 1 part wintergreen oil to 4 parts 99.9% isopropyl alcohol. Boots were rock hard, lets call that 0% as new. 2-3 week soak until they reached a point where they weren't getting any softer. I'd say 50-60% as new. Also, they were a very very loose fit on the carbs. Rinsed and let air dry for 2-3 weeks, where they eventually shrank back to size. Covered with red rubber grease and put into zip lock bag. Just checked and they are somewhat hard again. I'd say 15-25% as new.....just about good enough to reuse in a pinch.
  4. 1:37mins, that's more like it. I like humor, even gallows humor. If I get food poisoning once every 10 years, more or less, does this mean I am good to go for the rest of the decade?
  5. Most people who encounter me, going forward think.......what would fizzy do? In this case, re: the simple act of eating peanuts,....do the opposite. 🍺
  6. There is some good advice in this article that I didn't follow, I quote: "Work with your team to create a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan, identify potential contamination points, and create solutions"
  7. Apologies' ahead of time for the clickbait title, but I get paid by the word. They are called redskin peanuts, unsalted, come in a plastic bag. Swallowed a handful, then realized 3 or 4 of them had an unpleasant texture and taste. After 2 1/2 hours, or about the time it takes to watch a utube vid from zero, I knew I had food poisoning. Bad. Anyway, I know of course you can get this from fruit and veg, not just spoiled meat, but 3-4 peanuts? Not sure how to proceed on the nut front now. I guess avoid for a while until I forget? Be warned.
  8. Recommend you install a small voltmeter on the dash. Voltage should be mid 12V to MAX 14.5V. Low voltage is usually either a bad battery or a weak stator High voltage is almost always a bad R/R. High voltage, ride straight home at 1500rpm. The old style R/R (OEM on blackbird) will get quite hot during normal use. New style R/R (FH012AA, FH020AA, SH847) as explained in the link I left in previous post, do not get hot. Heat is the enemy of small electrical devices.
  9. As LEDs consume less power than incandescent bulbs, counterintuitively, they put more strain on the charging system. More specifically, the R/R. If you go all LED, then upgrade the R/R to a real deal (as opposed to fake, which online sites are littered with) mosfet type. Home (roadstercycle.com) Not a bad idea to upgrade anyway, as this new kit is far superior.
  10. 2002 not the same as 1999/2000. ECU Wiring loom Dash Fuel level sender FPR Fan thermostat More electrical stuff More again if California Mechanical, the same I think
  11. Please see my post, there is a smiley guys at the end. This subject has the potential to go where original subject is already going 🍺
  12. Oil, did you say oil, and what about the air gap? 😎
  13. Longer than that unless you learn how to deal 🍺
  14. If you pulled that stunt in engineering school, you would end up with a degree in business admin.
  15. Per my post "K, m, d, r and any other pertinent info is given (metric)." On the actual test they expected an actual rpm result. I don't remember the actual numbers but I can make some up if you want to grind it out.🍺
  16. But coming up with mathematical equation for the movement of the rod vs. cam angle is the main thing here. yes then: Differentiate the formula of position to get the formula for velocity. " " " " velocity to get the formula for acceleration set this formula against the potential acceleration generated by the spring. In all my years working, I never ever had to do any calculus. Very little math really, compared to the stupid amount I had to learn.
  17. "Pretty much done" No. That is the very first step of many many steps. I will say you are pointing in the right direction, so, good job. This section of the test gave 60mins, or actually, 4 hrs to do any 4 out of 8 questions. I guess this was the easiest as I remember doing it first. 🍺
  18. Consider: A round disc radius r is rotating clockwise about a point distance d from the disc center. A cam follower is touching the disc at it rotates. K, m, d, r and any other pertinent info is given (metric). Question: What is the max rpm of the disc before the cam follower leaves the surface of the disc.
  19. This reminds me of a test question on the PE exam I took in the min 90's. I swore an oath not to reveal anything about said test, but enough time has passed. I will lay it out if there is any interest.
  20. Jerk is an engineering term meaning rate of change of acceleration.
  21. No. Hint, it is not an insult
