@JDRanger04 i was able to find an M pump out of europe and had it built and sent here. you need to find injector lines and throttle linkages too as they’re not the same as the MW pump. benz force sells the MW pump built by diselmenken. EXCHANGE...

Just built this for my Son. Picked up an Intesne 951 XC and swapped the build kit with his old bike. Came in at 27.05 lbs complete. It’s a large so I might have to sneak a few rides in on it. His old bikes for sale here...

Flip the Bezel…..🤣🤣🤣🤣 Otherwise looks awesome.

Love that color combo!

Took advantage of an 82F mid-April day in Chicago to wash the truck.

bath time then tinker a little. i took the temp fuel gauge off and put it where its supposed to be. then a few little adjustments to wipers and dash lights etc. it ran well tonight but i see my temps climbing as my weather is getting warmer...

downey is still making his nylon ones for the rear of the vehicle. they are very nice. and they’ll never rust! you do need to add an extra fuel filler though

i’ve been having a few fuel issues these last few weeks with starvation. i replaced filter and pump and no better so i went upstream as there seemed to be a blockage. i pulled the tank last night and cleaned it out. put some compressed air...

pulled the tank last night and drained it. it was surprisingly clean but there were a few pieces of old gasket maker and a few small pebbles 🤔. i also wonder if the fuel line was getting kinked coming out of the tank and through the floor so i...

Well that was quick! The workmanship looks awesome. Paige at Aqualu was a huge help with everything. I know if I waited and couldn't get one I would be kicking myself for years to come

Life is short, friends. Onward.

what an amazing trip!! keep the photos coming!!

A rare responsibility free Friday = North Georgia fun.

first ride of the season now the snow is gone. 18km first ride with my wife and oldest son. was a nice easy pace. gotta loose my winter weight again 🤣

I vote for the pull, flush/clean and possible reseal.

ding 🛎️ ding 🛎️ ding 🛎️!!! so i pulled the line off and fuel started running into my jerry can then all of a sudden nothing. line is plugged. so i blew compressed air in and heard a pop in the tank and fuel is running again. so i’m draining the...

🤣 i have a very similar tractor. i walked a sbc across my yard pretty much on my front tires because i don’t have any rear balast like you do. its amazing how the hydraulics on these little guys will out lift the weight of the tractor!! nice...

cleaned it up and took it to calgary to get my 1hdt rebuilt. FINALLY!! i hope to have a leak feee motor for a little while!!

dang it. still happening The fuel pump did not fix the problem so it’s probably something stuck inside my tank. I’ll have to drop that now.

new fittings in and pump clocked to allow a little extra room from the frame. i also ran the new rubber line inside the frame to protect it and keep it further from the exhaust so there shouldn’t be any vapour lock possible. fuel pressure was...

have been having low fuel pressure issues recently but i got a new pump on today. will road test tomorrow but hoping it does the trick. i was sure i bought the exact same pump that i had on there but alas the new edelbrock pump was different from...

not sure there’s enough room between pump and frame for more adapters. they’ll be the same price and new barbed hose ends so i’ll just replace. this pump can be clocked though so if i need more space i’ll do that. i just hoped for a simple swap...

dang it! i bought what i was sure was the exact pump i had!! guess i was wrong the fittings are the wrong size. guess i’ll have to get new ones tomorrow. this is exactly what i was trying to avoid by buying the more expensive pump! oh well...

been a while since i’ve posted on this thread. i’ve been chasing my tail trying g to get my engine rebuild all year. i’ve just had a hard time finding someone near me who could both pull and rebuild it. well the day has finally come. i’ll be...

Haha it’s always the wiring. 😂 Haha man I’m not going to to lie, I’m at a point where my wife would kick my ass in my sleep if I did another engine swap haha so I’m right there with you
