mine will do the same thing. a well timed blip of the choke will get things going. also found a bit of seafoam in the tank clears it up....

thats just a bit of checking... once upon a time you could buy check fill. :P ndts are not like car tires they have a casing and cap and it is the health of the nylon cords on the inside that matters most. now you would never want a dot inspector to see the checking..... and tread older than 10 year...

with us Canadians not having a national military club it will be a challenge to coordinate efforts of those willing to fight . we could see donations requested to help fund a class action. I am doing my part by informing and notifying those in my contacts hoping for support or enlistment in the caus...

pre and post trip inspections are a must. complete nut and bolt check. grease all 32 fittings. check levels. carry all the tools and supply's that were needed for the pre trip inspection. make sure your jack will fit under the axle with a flat :roll: 4ft jackall is too small to lift the back :x chai...

how do you pop off the chain cover ? sounds like a big job, front mount, crank pulley ...... if your concerned with valve timing just pull the valve covers or a screwdriver in the spark plug hole. does the pump prime by hand ? pull on leaver till the action stops or does it keep on pumping ? even if...

my dark green canadian is available with a fresh 251ind may need a different cam tires new but checked.

easy job doing the seals its re setting the pre load that can get tricky... better to file down a thick spacer than to rum multiple thin shims. speedie sleeves will work in a pinch but if the sleeve fails it will eat the seal in seconds. better to weld and turn your yokes or run two thinner seals or...

any that I have will need at the least a few new seals and maybe yokes or speedie sleeves if you believe in such things. :P there is also a guy in your neighborhood who wanted a rear end I have if your willing and have the space. im around weekdays from 8am to 7pm shoot me a pm for the address
