    Seafoam in gas...

    When i was rebuilding my carb I peeked down into the intake on the head and it was a little dirty...not too bad though. With that little fuel tank I wonder if I could put a little bit of Seafoam in the tank and have it just go through the carb into the head and eventually the cylinder for a...

    As I look through the Dr.'s site...I'm not sure what all I'll need to get as I work on the front and rear brakes. Does someone have a complete list of things I should get to do the work..? Maybe even recommend other things while I'm in there..like new bearings, etc.. I want to try to have a...

    Fuel valve too tight..?

    On my carb(AT7B) after the rebuild..really more a clean up and use what I needed in the kit, the fuel shutoff valve is really hard to turn from off to on. Or for that matter to rotate at all. I replace the little black button and the funny wavy steel washer and tightened it all down. Now that...

    Overflow valve question for K0 CARB

    The overflow needle, inside the bowl...isnt that supposed to be free flowing..? As i cleaned and blew out areas of the carb that needle or pin doesnt seem to flow. Maybe it's crud in it and I'll need to use a fine wire to free it..but wanted to make sure it's not a sophisticated miniture...

    K0 carb rebuild..

    hey guys...I guess I gotta rebuild. Gas is leaking from the float bowl gaskets...and other places. I see several re-build kits out there. Which is the most recommended, which I'd hope would include appropreate jets and all the goodness. Thanks..

    Chain lash...or other drivetrain stuff...

    Not sure what this is called...but when riding down the road all of a sudden and very rarely there'll be a braking sensation followed by a jerky sensation. It's the drivetrain kinda stumbling for a sec...lasts for less than a moment (not sure what that is), but I wonder if it's the chain and...

    Ugh,,is there a solution for a stripped tappet cover nut..?

    The intake tappet cover came right off. Old o-ring was needing to be replaced...a little oil leaked out there. Exhaust one wasn't leaking but seemed like a good thing to replace too.. I noticed the nut was kinda rounded a little. As if someone had previously tried to get it off. I used several...

    Running good...hate to change anything...

    My little K0 is in need of a few things...its mostly all original. I ride it everday after work. Run around the neighborhood; down to the boat ramp; or to the beach...and basically it's running pretty good. Not very fast and stumbles a little bit when it gets hot, but other than that I'm really...

    ct70 K0 kickstart pedal...

    My pedal was not staying on very well, so I decided to get a new one. Went ahead and got a Honda one from dratv. Came in and I installed...noticed something kinda odd. As I'm pushing the bolt through the pilot hole to tighten down, it's hitting the kickstart shaft spline. As I turn it, it...
