Question

well i gave the piece for the carb to a buddy this morning to take to welding class, i told him to get his teacher to weld it for me, it'll be tricky, and thats why im getting the TEACHER to do it. this sucks. ill have the part today if everything goes well, fixed or not, who knows? but that's all im waiting on now, everything else is done.

his teacher said he was too busy to mess with something so unimportant. ..... i think its pretty god damned important. so now its eithre jb weld, which is unreliable i think, or find someone else, either way this has to be done. i guess illl let you guys know what i find.

it sounds like a small piece, why don't you pickup a oxygen/mapp cutting/brazing torch kit at home depot and a book on brazing... you could have it done in one night.

well i fixed the piece that was broken. but now i believe i have an intake leak from the intake manifold. im seeing radiator fluid leaking from somewhere. i cant actually see the fluid, but i see it evaporating from the heat shield thats bent downward (helps catch loose bolts) underneath the exhaust manifold. i think its from the underneath of the intake manifold. dumbass here didnt put gasket sealant on the intake manifold gasket. could that be why? i know its radiator fluid because you can smell it. oh and i have a stuck seal possibly, its hard to tell with the way it is running. any thoughts would be helpful, im sitting here waiting for some help....*cough *cough.

Thumbs down

well ive been working on figuring this **** out. here goes: that piece that i said was broke, and i jb welded, broke again. do you guys know what im talking about. the little piece of metal thats used to opent he secondaries? ill get a pic if i can soon. but anyways i rubbed some leftover i didnt use from this morning on the wall. well i checked it, and it was still somewhat wet. my fault, i must not have put enough hardener in it when i mixed it. also i noticed the intake leak, which was VERY small from where i had not put on any gasket sealant. well i have remixed and reapplied the jb weld to the piece, and it is already hard after 20 minutes. i have to get a new intake gasket, but im just going to make a new one from carboard. when i go to reattach the intake, i will be using gasket sealant on every gasket i can find. instead of waiting a week for the new gasket, im going to just make one, im very anxious because i cranked it earlier, and it was GREAT it ran perfectly, the i reved it a little more to make it warm up a little faster, because for some reason it wouldnt run without the choke pulled out, im sure ill get to that soon enough. but i reved the **** out of it one good time and it all went to ****. what happened i believe is i broke that weak *** weld. sooooo.....im sorry this is so long and ****, but, i think ive got it figured out, and now i have to make new gaskets and get some gasket sealant. and im going to re-enforce the weld with more weld when it dries. wish me luck oh and maybe the reason i thought i had a stuck seal, was maybe because the secondaries were not even opening even at full throttle. and remember a while back i said the float bowls sight glass was full of gas, well maybe because the secondaries were not opening and it just kept dumping fuel into the bowls. wow guys, i think i may have gotten this figured out.....

Here are some great pic's, when the

window opens, inside the frame is a few links. Click the "Tech write-ups".

Then click the "mechanical secondaries for nikki".

Then enjoy!!
