What the fook?  I was thinking was going to check this thread and hear some awesome results with new timing changes, or bad news with a hole int he piston and I see a bunch of Youtube links.  Bah. 

I'll still check back later though. :P  I think they're giving you a taste of your own medicine Zombie! ;)

Are you guys mailing meth back, and forth? It's like 9pages of 14 days worth of songs, and my bug eyed freak of a Frankensteins monster scooter is bashed to a kindergarten finger painting level...
Thanx guys! It's like my birthday up in here. Say What What!!
Well sorry I didn't bring anything for you guys but here is a link to some "Totally Irrelevant Crap"  http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/16/631600/-Totally-Irrelevant-Crap
I think I'll be putting it together tomorrow. Theres alot of rewiring to do. Scratch that... I have to make plates, and weld first.   Monday it is then...

My other best birthday ever I was 19, and saw LLoyd, and the Commotions at Capitol Theatre in NYC. You guys remind me of that time Thx

Especially to Vivo, and his loved ones. Peace.

He only snorted because shooting up with webbed feet is a bitch.

 :D :D :D

Your right tho, it does look like one of those sleestak things. Never heard of them, but it does look like one. I must be too young to have seen the show?

But Ma, word started it.....

Streido, in the mid to late 70's US tv had some love for the little kiddies on Saturday mornings for when they ate their cereal. Land of the Lost, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, HR Puffenstuff, etc etc.
Zombie - beautiful track.

Back to topic, though, looking forward to some post-welding pics and hopefully more screen shots of that beautiful software madness (and info on diy dyno stuffs).

Never heard of any of them. I was a kid in the 70's, born '71, we had Lassie, Champion the Wonderhorse, Lone Ranger, Zorro, and Flash Gordon, guess out Tv execs thought that other stuff would be too scary for us  :-\

Love lloyd cole tho, saw them live a few times in the 80's & 90's, excellent band. Lloyd was english but he formed the commotions he came to Glasgow to study at Glasgow Uni, where i live. In Glasgow, not the Uni. Although i did once get caught trying to.........nah, better not say, lets just leave it there  :D

Enough nonsense, we hijacked Zombies thread enough, he can have it back now  :)

Awww Slinger... You could have left the mess. That's why I love you guys. You're real!
I'm actually trying to find an airbrush sticker maker... I want to get a Zombie mouth complete w/ spliff (Jamaican hippie joint) to paste on the cowl. The thing is soooooo funky looking I may as well take advantage of it, and have some fun.
Who here can work w/ Photo Shop or Paint?

I've been crazy busy lately, sorry for not updating this... I posted this on SI a few days ago so to save time I'm copy/pasting...
I stole a few hours for myself today. The plan was to mock up the Ign.. More delays... There is a mount plate that the stator attaches to. That fit. The countersunk holes(to recess the mount machine screws) are too small to flush the heads of the screws. Also I had to cut the screw length. Ok plate mounted. Now the stator does not sit in the right position because the holes in the mount plate are mis aligned. Drill/tap/counter sink new holes. I assembled the fan on the adapter. No issue. Now the adapter on the rotor... Issue. The fan bolts are too long, and hit the rotor. Remove/cut. Install again. Get ready for this... The rotor they sent as the second/correct rotor does not fit the crank! Again. I measured my fat end of the taper, and have 14.5.. Their smallest rotor has 15,5mm. Yet it is listed for the ZX Super Fever! So rotor in hand I rolled down to the machine shop, and chucked up th rotor to take 2mm off the inside (fat end of taper). Now it sits snug on the crank but is below the stator so the Fan adapter will not install. Sooooo The way this is going I may wind up tossing their inner rotor kit. ^%Too many issues so far. They are on Vaca for two more weeks. Rat Bastards.
 I know I can machine a taper adapter to correct this but it needs to be 1mm thick at a 5.5* taper. I'm sure I can cut the inside taper but cutting the outside, and then cutting off from the stock will be hell. For a 500.00 dollar kit I'm not too impressed.
 Josh... Do you know the od of your crank at the fat end of the rotor taper? The Var end is the same so I would THINK the flywheel end is too!

 I don't use the choke. I warm my fuel in a spoon, and inject it into the vacuum line.

I think I figured an easy fix for the rotor... Plain sheet stock. I can install the woodruff key, and wrap a 1mm thick band around cutting it to fit up to the key on either side. Easy deal. The HPI rotor does not use a key so I can simply use the key as filler with the new band. I was thinking hard steel to avoid wear but actually I think soft aluminum may act as a gasket or seal of sorts, and actually hold better. Vibration should be no more an issue than on a head gasket or such. The only part left is mounting the rotor, and making the frame brace... Glad I figured this one out. Waiting on parts sucks.
Yeah maybe I didn't mention...  I emailed to Thank the guys at HPI for getting the remaining parts out to me, and got a Vacation email in return. They are gone till the 29th Aug. A few more parts coming, and a new air shock for the rear. http://www.mawsolutions.com/html/fournales_shock_absorbers.html  It's the only thin shock I could find to work with the Diablo tire's width. My Tach, and the shock are the last two big pieces. Lots of small stuff tho... Rear brake cable, CVT cover gaskets, front wheel bearings, a few more replacement led's for the gauges.
I can count the oem pieces on one hand. Everything is new oem or after market. Wheels/handlebars/front brake master cyl/levers are the only unchanged parts.  I've lost my mind...
