    I’m diagnosed with low testosterone and hypothyroidism.

     

    No, actually, you have phenal mycosis.

     

    Phenal Mycosis is a microscopic organism that enters the body by way of the rectal passage.

    It migrates its way up the spine thru the brain and lodges itself behind the optic nerve thus giving you --

    A shitty outlook on life.

  2. It doesn't take much vacuum to open the fuel petcock diaphragm.

    Will the petcock open if you manually provide the vacuum? Suck it. haha

    You sure you have hoses properly placed on the fuel petcock?

    One is vacuum, one is overflow. 

  3. Yes, that was years ago. Your going to need it. It's a Honda Shop tool.

    Long reach into the CBX. Bill, 1 1/4 turns on fuel screws. Idle is one adjustment under tank.

    MIke gave it to me. He was Honda mechanic.

    He got the first CBX in Oregon.

    He passed a couple years ago.

     I used a small zip tie to make a band to keep the cable in its channel.  I doubt that’s the issue as I would expect it to produce acceleration then a sudden drop once the cable slips off and goes back into the channel.

     

     

    Why didn't Mazda think of that?

    Well, it is Dunlop, of course it is cupped. But it was free, almost brand new. Q3+.

     

    Just because you said Dunlop, I will comment. Never liked Dunlop.

     

    The tires were brand new when I rode Big Suzi home from purchase.

    1100 street miles and the front tire ( Sportmax ) is already cupping.

    Should have them worn out by Fall. Good !

    I said that just an hour ago when I found this, and wondered, "What thread should I post this in?"  So thanks.

     

     

     

    That is kind of a mind fuk watching those inner bearing races move by friction alone. 

    Drop a little dust on it and watch what happens.

  7. Is it wired for 115 or 230v ?  

    17.4A is alot @115 if you hope to just plug it in to a GP outlet at home.

    Many of those old motors didn't have "flying motor leads".

    Possibly has studs in the terminal box to swap leads?

    They built stuff to last back then. Think Maytag.

     

    open the terminal box and take a pic.

  8. Yes, the neutral will carry the imbalance of current. 

     

    This link is an FYI,  if you ever get into J-boxes and need to seperate any neutral connections.

    Shock potential risk is higher. 

     

    https://circuitiq.ai/blogs/blog/the-dangers-of-shared-neutrals-how-to-avoid-being-shocked#:~:text=A shared neutral wire%2C often,neutral can still carry current.

     

    another fyi, if the home run neutral is disconnected, the 120V devices will experiance 240v usually only once.

    Pay close attention to the neutral. Especially the home run neutral.

  9. I am curiuos also.

    Don't hear of a bike jumping out of "6th" gear often. Usually 2-3rd gear.

     

    I had trouble with my wannabe dragbike/streetbike. Bent shift fork and rounded engagement dogs.

    At the time, I had access to a milling machine with a rotary table.

    Got a new SS transmission with closer ratio 4 -5th gear. New shifting forks also. New high quality bearings.

    Undercut the engagement dogs and the inside of thrust side slots,  2 1/2 degrees total. .

    I will admit, was a little harder to shift after that but it defiantly stayed in gear with 3x the hp sent thru it. 

    Honda CB750/890 with ATP turbo kit. I made that bike a lousy street bike. Never rode it far from home after that.

    Got about 21mpg. It was evil.
