X2 The suspension will not articulate properly as built. It is fine for the drag strip or flat level ground. Once it tries to articulate, there are going to be stressed components, then they will flex and eventually crack.

It is beginning to sound like the problem is not that your motor simply won't start without ether, but that it has a problem running at low fuel rates (low rpm and low load). I believe that some have said that it sounds like a HH problem; what else could explain this? Also, since your motor...

Nice!

X2 Also, use heat.

The rest you waste.

Correct.

I might be mistaken, but from the earlier set of photos you posted it seems as if the rams are not mounted on the same plane. I am talking about the inner ends by the pumpkin. It looked like one was mounted fairly flat, and the other was kicked up at an angle. If they are indeed mounted at...

I would not use undercoating under the strap as it will wiggle and eventually wear a groove in the tank. Clean the area of loose rust and grease, touch up with POR and while it is tacky put your OD paint over that. Then use the rubber strips. Don't forget to clean and paint the inside of the...

You guys are too funny. I will post pix of whatever I use to try this stuff out. If anyone else is going to try this Ace C-K paint, grab yourself a bunch of the color chip cards. The cards that included the OD shades I was perusing are card numbers D 19 through D 28. I was looking at the...

I just got my free quart from Ace. They have many standard colors available in the Clark Kensington line that seem to match several flavors of OD. I was looking for something close to my opinion of what 24087 looks like. I say my opinion, because it is hard to tell from a tiny paint chip. I...

I saw a tv commercial that said that ACE hardware stores are giving away a free quart of their house brand paint tomorrow. I am going to check it out in case I can get something that resembles CARC or 24087. From a press release: "Called Clark+Kensington, the line combines paint and primer...

Good tip! Although I was taught that a slow seeping oil leak on a Harley was when you knew it was out of oil.

A thin, purpose-built, thin sleeve of metal. It presses over the part that has a groove worn into it by the seal (in this case, your crank) and provides a brand-new, smooth surface for the new seal to ride on. This way you make up for wear, plus any new wear is on the sleeve and not your...

Can the cracks in the head be stitched?

I agree that adding gasoline to the mix would be like, well, adding gasoline to the fire.

My savings would be a lot more (don't know if that is good or bad news). As far as the effort goes, I want to start treating WMO for my Deuce anyway, but just now I am not in a position to use it as often as I'd like. So, the HHO option gives me a chance to familiarize myself with the process...

I am familiar with the WMO-only service station burners you are talking about. And yes, they produce a lot of ash but then they also take the nasty stuff as-is with out the fine filtering/water removal we are talking about here. Nevertheless, I have always wondered why there is no ash when you...

Yes, preparation will entail filtering to 1 micron and water separation.

That is really good advice, thank you very much. I anticipate running an unknown (percentagewise) mix of ATF and motor oil. There will be some incidental water or antifreeze. I plan on preparing the WMO as if I were going to run it in my Deuce. Does this sound ok?

My oil tank is in a small enclosed utility room that also houses my furnace. The temp is usually up around 90 degrees in there, just from the waste heat. So at least that is in my favor. A friend of mine has a shop and only gets .20/gallon for his waste oil. It is WMO and WATF mixed...
