the generator outputs are AC. yellow and yellow or yellow and white. so yup, polarity doesnt matter. slong as you get 12vdc after the regulator, all is swell. and yup, that blue yellow will be blue white or whatever it is for the cdi. should be in the same position on the plug... sounds like...

yes, heat treating means "finish grinding" for accuracy. they can be nitrided, which is a fairly low temperature process, but requires the right types of steels to be used. theres also "case","flame" and "induction" hardening, which only hardens the teeth themselves, with minimal distortion...

i blew up a 50cc huasheng that got some weird coke deposit in the head, a big swirl that wrapped around the exhaust port then finally jammed the valve open. also had to swap the carb twice, and...the rocker pin bearing thingy broke. friend now has the piston and conrod in hers... after her rod...

get on fleabay, look for "fractional" or "micro" drills. usually in a box in 0.5mm increments from 0.3 to 1.3, cost about 20-30 bux :) and a micro/pin chuck will help. while most carbs are close to right when first installed, theres nothing quite like having a properly dialled in carb! and its...

the postie is the same. you will remove the "ignition control module" which makes a handy spare, actually. in fact, im pretty sure it was the same plug and everything. the wires were all the same colours, everything. even the plug from engine to bike was the same... if you cant physically plug...

the super powerful and reliable china motor i got for my pushy asks for 16:1.... youre allowed to lean that a bit to 20:1 after "break-in" i say LOL and just run 50:1 of my favourite, penrite something or other... had plenty of them die, but none from lack of lubrication! always something...

go by the engine number down under the sprocket. 1p52fmi or something like that. theyre all the same, across the brands. just minor differences like ones full auto, or one has 3nr or ones a single speed pooper with no kickstart or gearshift shafts... dipsticks turn up in unusual places. got...

nah, id give up if i were you. if a slight bog and a minor chirp is all it takes to get the hissy's over, by all means, give up, get out of minis, and go watch telly like a good little boy :) get back to me after youve pushed your bike 15 km cus the masterlink broke and you left your phone...

when it should

i reckon its an alligator!

saw a '90 gsxr going for more than the (new)r6 it was next to at the local rip-off artists (yamaha dealer). an air cooled engine... fired up my rotary hoe today. made in the late 40's, thats definitely air cooled. starts first pull after...70 years. vw beetles still running around, theyre...

more powerful than a toyota prius! :rockon: for flying a heli, ill take electric anyday. for a plane, nitro 4 banger once im used to the way it handles. electric for learning. but cars and racing? nitro. running the fine line between finishing with either a siezed engine, running out of fuel...

look into "velocity porting" and your head will hurt... DEcreasing port sizes to INcrease power? contrary to everything we ever thought we knew? higher velocity means more inertia means the gas gets to where its needed faster...(and increases volumetric efficiency cus you can get more in!)...

oi! you asked for a stealth muffler! :p they are not easy to make for the purpose you required! i still reckon the best bet is a car muffler! whereas simply modifying a pipe to take a pre-existing muffler is no sweat... no sweat at all. sounds like rolling a piece of sheet and welding. too...

most anything with 28mm end will fit, and yes, as mentioned, get a copper o-ring unless you like backfiring and popping when you back off the throttle... the yx has the different angle header, right? (im asking everyone else) so they wont fit. or theyll fit but end up not lining up with the...

i got a cargo container. 2 in fact. i laid a big fat slab a few months ago for the convenience of having concrete for once. dirt sucks man. i finally got off my scrawny bottom and started shifting one of them. only about 8 foot needed! someone used their head and decided the hubs alone...

m10x1... maybe. not a common size. taps aplenty but! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10mm-10-x-1-0-Metric-Tap-Right-Hand-M10-x-1-Pitch-/110882436542?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item19d11bb5be about 15-20mm longer than the standard plug. modifying a plug is the best. you only got to mangle it then...
