Could the cap have simply picked up some particles when removed and layed down somewhere dirty?

I didn’t see the need to have the display mounted permanently. I’m offroad only and it comes with me, but it stays in a padded hard-side zippered case. Not once have I needed it on the trail. For initial setup and occasional checks at home I’ll plug it in temporary while it lays on the seat...

How bout removing one or both bearing snap rings and push one or both bearings in enough to install that last shaft snap ring? Then work on prying the bearings back out to install their snap rings. I'm not certain but I believe that's how I did mine.

There’s really no need to do any math. The resistance to flow in the return due to height is insignificant. The return is controlled by the regulator which maintains 60psi on the supply side and the excess gets passed to the return. If you increase the resistance on the return, you will still...

If I’m understanding you question correctly. As far as resistance to return flow, it doesn’t matter where the return enters the tank. The resistance to flow on the return will be determined by the height of the fuel that it is working against. Width or volume has no effect. Only height. It’s...

Interesting vid on break-in "HERE"

Yup, it's normal. That's how it maintains the right pressure to the carb during various fuel demands like WOT going uphill vs idle.

For curiosity’s sake, you could just temporarily plumb the return to the jerry can to see just how much gets returned. And you could make it all the way around block. :D

Yup! I had similar issues. "THIS" thread might help

And stupidity lol. I never read the warning in the manual “Do Not Do That” till after the fact. It was some time after crawling around on the shop floor for a considerable amount of time searching for dropped balls that I finally read the instructions and that warning. During many attempts at...

Having my box completely disassembled (1 year ago) and seeing how all the parts move, my thoughts are, grease doesn’t flow, but gear oil does. A little bit of grease was useful holding the balls in place for re-assembly, but once back together, I prefer my ball swimming in oil. After filling...

The 2F and F.5 would have an oil hole where shown. Is that gasket flipped front to back? There is an oval hole that connects the oil hole in block to the head bolt hole. The oval hole allows oil to flow from the block oil hole over to the head bolt hole and up to the head & over to the rocker...

Whenever I set my valves cold, they remain the same when hot. Or at least very close to it. Even with my recent head rebuild with new valves and new cam, the valves were the same from cold to hot after initial run up - break in. Did you get a stock re-grind. When I got a 250-S regrind from...

Just some thoughts. It would be nice to monitor your pressure gauge as your problem occurs. I was just wondering if you could plumb the gauge temporary to a position where you could see it while driving. Maybe using “THIS” or “THIS”. A camera would be nice also. I’ve used “THIS” before to see...

Don’t know if your year used a lock washer but when I replaced mine, I got it “HERE”. Other Mud vendors may carry them, but this was the only one I found posted on their web site.
