Hi JAFO2014, Thanks for your comment. Does it matter if I bring #1 piston either TDC or BTDC on compression stroke? The FSM said bring piston #1 to BTDC. Also, when dropping the dizzy, should the rotor be directly in contact with plug tower #1 or there should be few degrees lagging? BTW my dizzy...

Hi All, Need help here. My '78 cruiser won't fire up after I re-installed the D.U.I. dizzy. I have to pulled-out the dizzy to remove the snapped hold down bolt. But before I pulled out the dizzy, I marked all the HT wires positions on the dizzy and spark plugs. I also remove the cap and mark...

Hi 40 Lovers and Enthusiasts, I would like to refer to everyone my cruiser's current issue. I noticed that once the water temp. goes a bit under the half mark of the gauge, it starts to lose power. Does anyone have the same experience at some stage with their cruiser when the temp. goes up...

Hi Mr. Burntoastburgos, How much lift do you have on your front springs? TIA. Cheers! gado

@kurtnkeggen, @davegonz, @65swb45, It's an old set-up mate. SOA, not cut-n-turn, 36x12.5R15 Simex. Haven't experienced it when my set-up was a bit new. But now, it's kinda getting bad. And the ATF leaks badly at the seal of the worm gear. cheers! gado

Gents, I'd like to hear from you guys about my problem recently with my rig's power steering system. I noticed that when i turn the wheel full right or full left, i can feel a strong wobble on the steering wheel. But I don't experience this while I'm driving straight on the road. Does...
