[chris-mets]

And to cheer you guys up a bit, I taught my little pup how to clutch! haha

[Motorrad]

1. that is weed eater oil... wont work worth a d**n in a motorcycle

2. Mobile 1 is Synthetic oil... will make the clutch plates SWELL so the clutch will stick, and also slip.

3. when packing a mufler.. you wrap the packing around the Silancer (part laying on bench)... TIGHT... tape it, wire it, etc  then JAM it back into the pipe..

4.   Nice looking dog. 

5. I think you need more bicycles You dont have enough  

[chris-mets]

Hey Motorrad,

Ive been talking to Tuck and now I know that I am not going to use that craftsman oil. And the Mobil oil I bought is the non synthetic version lol. and Yes when I repacked it I wrapped it around it. Lol thanks about the dog, Ill tell her you said that . And yeah Ive been trying to buy a warehouse of only like 3000 bikes, thats it haha. Thanks.

 Thanks Rad, I can use all the help I can get.  
    And I did find the slide, needle and spring...I still don't know how it all fit in the top of the carb without poking through the throat.
Chris is currently looking for a good pre-mix.   Castor 927 would be my first pick as this is a non pv engine.
  However it would necessitate keeping the top end clean....I asked him to see what was available local to keep from having to pay shipping charges. let us know what he finds and we can make a recommendation.

Cases are together and flywheel installed with custom woodruffkey (flat file and sore fingers) pics tonight.
  I bet MoRad would make an Excellent Teacher...
  
MoRad's Motorcycle Restoration and Performance School...  Beginner to MasterMechanic we have something for everyone!

[chris-mets]

Oh ok you found it. I will look tomorrow for a premix. TUck, did the parts you ordered already come or something? didnt you have to order a clutch cover and a few  bolts? I agree with the MoRad shop haha. THanks everyone. I will let you know about the premix.

[chris-mets]

I went to sears and they didnt have any premix so i have to order that online somewhere...but while I was there I bought antifreeze. It says it protects against aluminum and works on any vehicle.

sears wont have premix try somewhere else like a bike shop

[chris-mets]

Well tomorrow im gonna go to like an auto parts store to try and find premix.

[Friar-Tuck]

If you have to go out of the way, just order it and have it shipped.  You won't have to bother your folks.
 Here's what happened today..

  Please Stand by...

[chris-mets]

Amazing Job! I could not thank you enough! Did you order the clutch cover or fix the crack? And did you find out where that random washer I gave you went?

  BOO-YA!    It wasn't looking good when I came home and saw the condition of the box on my doorstep...
The first clue was the trail of peanuts from the curb to the door!

Just make sure its Silicate free..

silicates (abrasive in nature) damage the  water-pump seals.

Tuck, you should double or even triple box that motor when you send it back, and you should put styrofoam sheets between each box within the biggest box. just a tip 

[Motorrad]

When I ship mine.. I wrape them in 2 T-shirts... then inside 2 Trashbags.... then I use EXPANDING foam to pack em...      HEHE.. poor sucker on the other end gets to Carve it out of the foam..
