Not to mention about a zillion other things, including compression ratio and which needles/carbs you have. But, dashpot oil should only have an effect when the throttle is first opened. It won't aff

That would be fan performance, not quality. CFM is a suitable measure of performance, but to be realistic, it should be CFM when pushing or pulling through a comparable radiator. Many fan makers onl

Jim, I have done exactly that with no ill effects observed. The folks who make synthetic oil say it is fully compatible ... heck they even sell blends of synthetic and ordinary dinosaur juice ... so

That was actually my first thought, but there was no sign it was happening. Nope. Also, if the oil was diluted by gasoline, getting it good and hot should cause the gasoline to boil off. That didn't

Does it need to work, or are you interested in a core for rebuilding ? FWIW, if original appearance isn't critical, you can buy a 2" mechanical gauge at most parts stores that will fit and work fine

TR3 shocks have a fill plug in the side; the correct level is even with the bottom of the hole. If yours don't have the fill plug, then I'd allow roughly 3/4" of space empty at the top. But I believ

There are (or at least were) a couple of companies selling throttle bodies that used the same bolt pattern as the ZS175 and 6- series SU carbs. That means you can just bolt them to the stock manifol

Disassemble the pump, and pack the gears. The idea being that it will pump Vaseline faster than air, so you'll get oil pressure faster. Personally, I'm not convinced it's a good idea, but YMMV. As l

That would certainly do it ! OTOH, a test tachometer (so you can see it while you're fiddling with the carbs) would allow even a deaf person to watch the change in idle rpm. Randall == This list sup
