i agree with above. fuel octane is related to compression and timing. not “how” the fuel is injected. whether it’s a carb or efi these lower compression engines should run just fine on regular. the ethanol in the lower grade fuels though will gum...

Unless you have modified your distributor's ignition timing or your sniper is controlling spark, there is no reason to run anything but 87 in these engines.

so today wast the first day it was cold enough to really try the heated wheel out. it worked like a charm. it’s a little slow to warm up but it absolutely worked. it’ll be really nice when the temps really drop!!

lol. yes all of them!! 🤣

All of them.

that’s great reading!! thanks. i’ll post what i find!

This information may help.

bulb holder on the dash? or the turn signals themselves?

well the hairyness continues. i seem to only be getting 9.5 V to the flasher. i’m going to replace it anyway but i think i have some wiring resistance issues to chase 😔. i hate wires

well the cheap foil backed foam under the headliner didn’t stick and the headliner fell off. oh well. it was worth the try. i’ll have to take the off again later and redo it. on a different note im having troubles with signal lights. seems like...

Buy the rig not the story. Special, well are they all?

went out camping and bird hunting with my son. beautiful night. hit 0C overnight. glad we had our good sleeping bags. he got his first two grouse!! each one was worth about $100 🤯. diesel here is $2.48/litre!!!! it’s cheaper to drive my...

I've even got hot pink goggles to match. Not a dh trail at all. It's a hiking trail, nothing built up for bikes at all, but that's what made it so fun. Tight switchbacks at the top, lots of really good single track, then the lower portion gets...

@Gerry McGerry how was the mt cartier ride? you’ve got me seriously interested! i love riding around revelstoke (fly fishing is excellent too). i’m not a downhiller per se but do some enduro style riding. i’m not a big drops/air guy but...

Been a bit. Super hot summer. In before the rain.

Heli drop riding is insane. Mt Cartier, Revelstoke.

nice grips 🤣

Wrapped up 13 days and almost 700 miles and +46,000' of logging roads around the northern half of Vancouver Island. Amazing roads, lots of great camping spots, and fresh sea air. Got pretty lucky with the weather and really only had one day of...

went duck hunting with my daughter. she been learning to shoot a shot gun this summer but only at stationary targets. she got 4 birds including one her first shot. i too am still learning. i got more birds but my hit ratio was worse than her’s 🤣

Oooof

Just make sure to follow the torque specs or you will definitely be leaking. It is something in the ball park of 80 inch pounds (definitely look this up).

are you doing just shocks or springs too? if just shocks take them off and find a ditch and stuff one corner and measure the compressed distance between shock mounts. then measure the ones that are drooped and that’ll give you the most accurate...

thats not the advice i gave you!! i said 62!! they’re just better 🤣. especially with a 1hdt and h55. im a luck guy because i have the prefect combo cruiser for me!! i hope you’re negotiations work out. post pics when you become an owner. the...

4 eyes 4 life 😎 But yes the stock auto/3fe is miserably slow. Nothing a V8 can’t fix. Also if you regularly go onto military bases and they ask you to roll your back windows down, it’s a lot easier to do in a 62

i like the look of the 62 better personally. i love the 4 headlights for extra night lighting. i love the look of the dash (but finding an ac bezel to replace the old cracked one has proven difficult (rust farmers came though in the end). i love...
