I'll try one

I have three gas cans, with three different spouts ranging from not too bad to is-this-a-psychotic-episode? I'm sure others have come up with this, but I did hatch this idea my own self: a tire valve stem employed as a vent. I had seen a stem installer like this somewhere along the line:



I bought one on eBay (a story of its own) and drilled a 7/16" hole about where a vent would have been in 1975 and pushed the tool in, through the handle and to the spout opening. I screwed on a valve stem and pulled it through; things got a little bound up at this point, and I had to make a tool from a cheap old screwdriver.



A little gentle persuasion got everything where it needed to be, and a good yank seated the stem (now known as a VENT).



I removed the core from the stem and put a cap on it; I'll let you know how it pours when I get the the gas station (loan approval pending).

Thank you for the video, Randy; it's fascinating.

What's the riding experience like?

 

The red would have to go if it was mine, as would the blue 'bars.

Splendid; they remind me of the wheels on my brother's El Camino SS back in the day.

This site is fun to explore, and they have stuff for motorcycles as well as mopeds and scooters. It's a 20% off sale, with free shipping over $100; use the code treatathon. HPI ignition, anyone?

Pretty shiny things!

I'm not sure 85 miles is enough to truly determine the success of your repair; perhaps you should consider another 85!

The 14 tooth rear sprocket must be rare. I won't be referring to Skynet for technical specifications anytime soon.

holy shit 

I was THIS CLOSE to nabbing an S3 a few years ago. It probably would have ruined my life, if I was lucky.
