"Since my last post I changed a few things on my bike."


You did all that since the 26th?!?!?! While running a business? You are the MAN!  :-o

Ah... I posted that at my own site first in reference to a post there on cooling.
Then copied and pasted without the correct edits...
My bad  :-o

It's amazing how many things you can find to soda blast once you have one set up  :-D

I picked one up and used it with course grit to blast a 5 layer paint job. Was not real impressed with the removal speed even though it is easier on parts. Was thinking about swapping out parts to go sand.

Yeah, it's not made for quick removal of anything.
It's awesome for carbs and small parts.
I like it on the inside of my engine cases.

With the cylinder mods and balanced crank it sounds higher pitch, more like a 250.
It sure doesn't run like a 250  :lol:

I took a long weekend and traveled south to meet up with my old man for some tard action.
When I arrived, I unloaded my bike and started it up.
It wound up to the moon.
I was grabbing the kill switch and freaking out.... but finally got it stopped.
So I checked it out and could not find anything wrong.
After I got it shut down and checked it out I tried to start it again.
Nothing... No spark...
Tried what I could but nothing worked
I guess thats what I get for using 20 year old electronics  :D
So, I have been wanting to install my MZB ignition...
I guess this will be the week.
