Post by: 96gs on October 17, 2003, 06:13:27 AM
do you own i bike shop or something? i read your posts and you sometimes include what bikes you have or have had. i just wanted to know. do you actually own these bikes or do you own a shop that sells these bikes?

Nope...
I take in wayward, destitute, injured motorcycles and bring them back to health... then ride the living daylights out of them...
My first attempt at seelling anything just as a selling deal not some I bought to work on/ride/fix/look and now it just adds to the clutter... are the fork braces, handle bars and the case covers. The first one is a disaster... the second one needs resustication, and the third a roaring success... Never thought that would be the order. But bike were bought to be used...
Cool.

Title: Not the 1/2 of it...

The Gino bike ran when I saw it last (after dond carbs were put in it) at gino's place, and the stock pipe was on it still. Gino swapped the pipes with the new V&H he got after I left his place... and he said it still started and ran but ran badly, and after a few tries it didn't start at all... Later I traced that to the left carb float level being very very high... But after that Gino changed the oil and plugs, and still didn't start... That made it harder to guess it was the plugs... The plugs being shiny and new looking should have tipped me off to the fact that they may be changed cos they didn't look like it had any running time on them. Anyway The Gino bike also has eyeball synched carbs, and has a smooth low end/idle, the 6mm 150 mains, both holes open on the diaphragm and 37.5 pilots. In short... the opposite of what I recomend ... but cant argue with the results... it runs great. BTW it has 4.5 turns on air screw, so 40 pilots may be in its future.
Cool.
Srinath.
