    Anyone use an electric impact screwdriver?

    I have a large air impact driver which is great but Im wanting to use an electric impact screwdriver. Im curious how well they function for removal of engine screws. Ive stripped out all 3 bits on my hand held impact driver and need to either replace it with another or go electric.

    Throttle cable weirdness

    Im pretty sure my cables and carb top are original on my bike. The weird thing is that theres nothing in the first 1/3 when you twist the throttle. If you have the top off the carb and twist the throttle the spring compresses immediately, and when you start to tighten the cap back on the carb it...

    Sandblast and rattlecan goodness.

    Blasting is just too much fun. I did this cover today in like no time. I did no hand sanding whatsoever, took it straight from the cabinet to mineral spirit wipe. Theres a few deep scratches the blast didnt remove but I left them. No primer, 3 light coats of oleum metallic silver and a few coats...

    Harbor freight blast cabinet

    I found the $219 hf blast cabinet on Craigslist for $125. Its the big red one. I've been wanting one for awhile so I jumped on it. The glass was cracked but still a good enough deal, plus it had fresh media in it. MAN O MAN! That thing is awesome! I'm not sure if it will hold a frame yet, but...

    Carb issue, not sure what.

    I pulled off the carb on my 70H, completely took it apart, cleaned it all out, hit the brass bits with a wire wheel on the dremel to polish em up. Reassembled and put back on the bike, it started up on the 3rd kick, was running really sweet for a couple minutes while I was playing with the...

    Recommendation to vendors.

    Am I the only person that is thoroughly unimpressed with all of the parts vendors web sites? Im sorry, but with a web presence the full impression of your company is delivered through these pages. Typos, goofy pics, poor layouts, it goes on and on. If I didnt know people had already ordered...

    Is this how you jump out the battery?

    This is what I found in my new 72 when i dug the wires out of the frame, granted the wires are stripped and gross, is this the proper way to eliminate the battery? I thought you just jumped the black wires? I dont plan on leaving it like this but just trying to get a spark get this thing...

    Lube in the throttle grip?

    Do you lube inside these Chinese throttle grip assemblies? Mines still dry at the moment. They're total garbage and I thought greasing it up might actually be a bad idea :4: I though I'd try and let it break in a bit, it's stiffer than shit, then lube it up. I've only got 20 miles on the bike yet.

    Z50 vs ct70

    I want to build a z50 now. Granted I haven't even finished my ct yet and already want another one, I also want to build a z50. I have learned a ton about the ct over the last couple months tearing it apart. What are the thoughts from someone who's built a z50 also? Equally fun? Uneducated...

    I snapped my chain

    Putting around the new Lifan 125 and my chain snapped. I'm assuming it was just from the chain being really old, it broke in 2 places, neither of them being the master link. So with a Lifan 125 what gearing would people recommend? I was just going to go with webllc's 14/38 set on ebay...

    How does the brake switch spring connect?

    is the lower part of the spring insulated from what it hooks to or something? I cant find any pictures with a large enough image to see that section, and my bike never had it to begin with. Thanks!

    Do you need this exhaust joint?

    #1 in the pic, 2 pcs. My ST didnt have them, which doesnt mean anything because it didnt have alot of other stuff either! But I also had a brand new CRF50 that didnt have them. At any rate, should I get them?

    Getting ready to start, lifan 125 and full electrical kit

    I got my 125 kit and a complete electrical set including headlights, ignition, blinkers etc. Would I put the motor in last im thinking? It pretty much blocks off the lower end of the frame hole so I figured I'd want that open as long as possible. Yes, it's my first time doing this :)

    So what order to put the bike back together?

    Might be a stupid question but Im a first timer and just about ready for re-assembly of my 1970 Dax. I was thinking rear wheel and suspension to frame, front forks, front wheel, motor then handlebars. I dont have a nifty jig to hold anything together while I do it either, so Ill most likely...
