my first ride in three months. 😩. the weather work and illness have kept me off my bike most of this winter. i went for a wet @ss ride tonight in the first real spring melt!! it was all city trails as my son is in town for music tonight. it’s...
@Hill Jaspe
Need to give us more information.
Part throttle?
Full throttle?
Accelerating?
Cruising?
have you done any work recently?
White smoke is usually due to unburnt fuel.
Caused by bad injection timing.
Or, by air in the fuel...
I have never seen a replacement diaphragm for a booster myself. The other big failure point for boosters is the cannister losing seal because of brake fluid entering due to a failing master cylinder. In that case, I guess you could find the...
It's getting real. 2024 could be the year!!
Edit: I'd like to rebuild the original Brake booster. Suggestions? Are there kits available? My searching has come up empty.
all my reading has said that once they’re done they’re done. i couldn’t find anything about rebuilding my 72 booster either. i just got one from city racer. fits and works perfectly. looks a little different but mine isn’t a concourse...
right on ... Ive already checked the ground connections - i did that first. I do need to get my tester out and check the volts and ohmz they get. i do have probes for that on my tester. Will do that and see what kind of readings I get.
But...
the front anti inversion shackles are backwards they won’t work that way. i agree with some of the typical oil leaks. depends on the price and how it’s running it looks like a sold place to start if you don’t plan on a full on restoration. if...
put a jump seat in to let my boys ride with me. used the one hanging on my wall i had set aside for my 77. it’ll be a while before i use it on that project so why not put it to use now
took a photo. we had some snow (in fact all of the snow on the truck was from one night).
i hate seeing it just sit there but until i find someone i can get to rebuild my engine it’s just gotta rest (this spring i’ll at least be able to get it...
i’m really impressed with the new tires. we had a massive dump of snow this weekend. i’m the only one in the road past my place today and the drifts are touching my front fenders in places but the little barn fire just chugged through them...
planned to go for a ride this weekend but this just came in last night
so i’ll have to wait a few days for the roads and trails to get cleared. beautiful much needed moisture but hard to ride in. some drifts around my place are 5 feet deep.
This! That clogged breather is probably why you had to replace the pinion seal. I've seen it before. Run tubes up from both diffs and the transfer case and cap them with a fuel filter or something similar. Trail Taylor sells a nice kit that...
yes make sure it’s able to work. mine clogged and took out an axle seal which took out my rear brakes which made my front brakes work harder warping the rotors. that’s a lot of head ache and cost for such a simple little under maintained part...
i’ve done both and guarantee that the ones @John Smith mentioned are going to be cheaper and easier. i would even hazard i like the light output better than my hella or cibies (not that they’re bad)
and the amount of zip ties you get is almost...
Not my thunder, I just carry the mail. 😉
All credit where credit is due. RCLC laying it down. Nice contrast in the driver side foot well. Teaser shot of the aft section. IMHO, The tone on tone contrast between the liner and paint really catches...
agree ist not likely the booster. with a bad booster you’ll still see movement at the brake hardware it’s just firmer. i second the mc. if you feel like the cylinders were moving smoothly when you cleaned the up movement of the fluid should move...
OK. I got it all back together. Rebuilt axle, new tie rod ends, and drag link, rebuilt center arm, and rebuilt steering box. Feeling pretty good about myself for getting that job done. Except for removing all the old crusted up dirt and grease...
