I recently had an Athena BB kit and Hot Cams installed on my 06 SM. The bike already had FCR 39mm carb, 3x3, JD kit and full Yosh RS3. The Athena kit was installed with the S/SM base gasket. Obviously the bike is much improved over the stock bore/cams, but now I'm wondering if I should have gone with the E base gasket? Will the E base gasket make much difference? Or should I say...

O.K. so I'm taking it appart this weeek end. I was looking for carb cleaner at crappy tire and some hose barbs to switch my gas lines and to plug my vacuum line when I sync it but left empty handed Carb cleaner does it come in bigger bottles then the small ones at CT ? What else would you think I need ? Not having done a teardown this size I just want to make sure I can get ...

Hi - I just joined this forum and it looks really helpful - hopefully I can eventually contribute too...    I’m currently working on a VisualBasic.NET project that polls various groundstation equipment for their status using the 488.2 GPIB routines. I’m running into an error after my program has executed for some time and then I try to re-run it again. Somehow the GPIB-ENET converter ...

I should of posted my reply faster lol so the gauge markings mean squat. as long as the needles are flat and even and within a graduation is the key. I got everything back together and she runs awesome I still have the exact same problem I had before but at least I know it's clean and it's synced. I did on the other hand break a screw driver on one of my bowls screws... what ...

Did you ever check with Hasting piston ring? They used to make me a lot of custom rings for our old outborad racing engines. They are not far from us here.

i just did a drz yesterday with that exact situation.its definately missing some power.

Dave If I'm not mistaken the green viton is the prefered seal and I'm guessing this the inferior OEM version. Never having seen an unmolested new seal I'm not postive as to the construction but it appears that it may have been a square profiled black O'ring which is vulcanized to one side of a thin copper (i.e. 0.3mm thick) ring about 3.5mm wide. Then again it maybe a totally incorrect ...
