Re: Coolant temperature gauge

my RC chopper battery must be recharged as soon as a drop of in power is noticed , if you run it near flat ( like trying to get it home ) its custard . Sorry to get off topic, but I just had to interject that I'm an rc chopper nerd/fool. Micro and mini mostly 'cuz they're inexpensive. Love to fly '...

Re: California Dreamin'

Thank you Frank. I'll measure the O.D. of the MCs w/ calipers and share it. Sadly the sides only say 'min' & 'max' front & back. No numbers. ;^|

Re: California Dreamin'

"But, my mistake or the wheels are those of SUPERLIGHT???"

The Superlight would have similar wheels, but 17". These are 16" wheels from a Tricolore 851 Strada that was kitted for racing. I inherited the wheels and rotors.

Re: California Dreamin'

Thank you both for your kind interest. The wheels are take-offs from a kitted 1988 851 Strada, as well as the floating rotors. I am extremely lucky to have them. Made of unobtainium.

California Dreamin'

Since we have no real winter here in SF Bay Area CA, I've just changed out the fluids and bled the brakes+clutch and gone for a 50 mile East Bay Hills ride. I am so in love! With all the attention over the years and with all the advice of this wonderful forum, the Paso rides as though it were new, e...

Re: Paso Mods

I feel for the guy who put so much effort into this custom. After all the manipulation, it's a disaster. He's taken the good bits away, replaced them with an unappetizing stew, and he features the bad bits (frame), etc. IMHO

Re: Idling at 3000 rpm after a hard run

I had a similar condition recently and after looking for vacuum leaks, cracked rubber boots, loose intake manifold bolts, worn/dirty spark plugs, carb sychronization, etc, the problem turned out to be throttle cables: sticking a little on return. Lubing the cable and throttle with white lithium solv...

Re: As long as we're talking carbuerators...

I just wanted to say thanks again to all who helped, especially Tamburinifan. I finally lubed the throttle & carb and cables with white lithium and while at it I noticed that the union where two cables to the carbs split from the throttle cable had sagged a centimeter and that seemed to be the c...
