Re: Front wheel hubs/bearings
A few years back, I purchased the 12 ton press from HF. I don't want to promote that store, because they have some junk too, but the press has been very useful. Big bearing names like SKF, Timken, Koyo, and National may be the safest bet. The most important thing is careful installation. For a hub,...

Re: Front wheel hubs/bearings
I've been trying to search the internet for what front wheel bearings I need exactly. I've heard from this forum that the KOYO ones seem to be the best but I can't find a single example of them for sale anywhere. I've also seen that some bearings are too wide (1.299 inches when they should be 1.21 o...

Front wheel hubs/bearings
I'm thinking my wheel bearings need replacing. After looking at the process for replacing those I'm thinking it would be easier to just replace the whole hub as I don't have access to a press or any means of pressing a bearing in and out. Is there any way to buy the whole front hub with bearing in p...

Re: Weber carburetor questions
your phenolic spacer is missing, which is bad. the spacer not only is used for the pcv connection, but its also used to prevent heat soak and vapor lock of the carb. ask around on the facebook page, someone should have one for sale. without seeing a video, you may be chasing a red herring with you ...

Re: Stock vs. Weber
I've only had a Weber on my car and I've never had any carb problems. My gas mileage isn't great though, getting about 18 mpg but that's probably due to my 27 inch tires. 18 mpg would be terrible. 4.11 gearing should get high 20s, 3.73 gearing should get low 30s. Are you taking the size difference ...

Re: Dies after high speed and/or prolonged run time.
I unplugged my fuel line from the carb and watched my electric fuel pump drain into a gas can and the flow looked ok, maybe a few bubbles so I replaced all the rubber fuel lines in the engine bay and now it won't pull any fuel from the tank at all. So I'm thinking I need to drop the tank tomorrow an...

Re: Dies after high speed and/or prolonged run time.
I agree with dlb- don't think it's vapor lock. I've posted here before on how to diagnose your problem- I'd provide a link, but can't (too stupid!) Just do a search on "aux fuel tank" and it'll come up. Good Luck! Yeah I think I've ruled out vapor lock. I read a post you responded to back...

Re: Dies after high speed and/or prolonged run time.
I have an idea. Could you make a fuel tank from soda bottle and see if it runs flawlessly? You just take an empty Pepsi/Coke bottle, fill it with petrol and put both fuel lines from fuel pump to bottle and see how motor runs. If it runs now flawlessly, your fuel lines + fuel tank need further inspe...

Dies after high speed and/or prolonged run time.
I have a bizarre issue with my fueling system that I'm stumped with. It started at first with kind of a rare sputter at full throttle where it felt like it wasn't getting enough fuel, it only lasted a second or two then went away. I took it to the Utah Gambler 500 and as we were running through the ...
