Turning Wrenches / Re: Help with my left cylinder
Last post by RDDave - May 16, 2024, 09:54:42 PMAlready changed coils and went with Iridium plugs. That helped a lot with some other issues but had no effect on the temp difference.
I think the next thing I try is to clean up that spare carb, check it out, and swap it on to see if that does anything. I have even swapped the left pipe. The carb and cylinder/piston are about the only things left to swap.
The left cylinder is typically about 190* while the right is about 230*. I don't know which is more 'normal'. I have concentrated on the left because it has killed plugs and the plugs and rear tip of the exhaust pipe are a bit oily. Unlike the right.

Show Off / Re: New to the Herd
Last post by SoCal250 - May 16, 2024, 09:45:28 PMNice score Jim! Those are fun bikes! That's a really nice looking one.
I've worked on a few of them over the years. I just had one here a couple months ago that I was repairing for a guy (carb rebuild, oil pump rebuild, new clutch, electrical troubleshoot).
At 7K miles you might want to check the brushes (there are 4). The ones on this bike, which has a few more miles than yours (9500) were toast.

Turning Wrenches / Re: White RZ blow up #2
Last post by m in sc - May 16, 2024, 09:40:13 PMmy vito's crank checked out to .0002", i was pretty happy with that TBH. ;) especially since RIGHT ON THAT PAGE: "Please check our dealers if we are out of stock: Vito's Performance and West Coast Atv." 
I'd bet dollars to donuts they all roll out of the same factory . and 100% for sure thats the same crank vitos sells.
maybe 10 years ago id be leery.. but i've also heard bad things about the reproduction acrd cyls.. know 3 bikes 1st hand running them, zero issues.

General Chatter / Fuel line question
Last post by Striker1423 - May 16, 2024, 09:31:51 PMMy yellow "tygon" line has gone hard as a rock and I'm getting sick of replacing it. Any ideas as to a fuel line that lasts more than a season?
