Re: Carb rebuild shop?
Yes, send them to JimL down in San Bernardino. He'll test them on a real engine after rebuilding them.

Re: Power Port Connection
Upper left in the attached photo, just to the left of the red flasher knob. The white knob above the socket turns on the power to that socket.

Re: Power Port Connection
Anyone hooked up a light/rotating beacon via the power port? Any info on the appropriate connector that goes in there?.....Light etc.? No need to go to EI for it. It's a common connector. BMW Triumph Tiger Ducati Motorcycles, for example. It's a Euro thang. Here's a product that uses it, for exampl...

Re: Removing window on 710
Same as mentioned by others -- mine were tightly stuck and it took some quality time with a thin putty knife and patience so things don't get bent. Likely heating it would help as well.
Be careful when you put it back on that you don't plug up the drain hole.

Re: Exhaust Pipe Flex
I used butyl rubber sealant tape for the joint. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/sealant-tape/material~butyl/ Butyl rubber is the stuff I see used most in automotive when you need to seal two pieces of body panel together, but would like to be able to separate them. It's all over my Toyota trucks ...

Re: Ethanol proof carb and pump?
Lots of us have no choice other than E10, and I've not heard/read of gasket/diaphragm related issues. Just the normal water/corrosion issues that come with E10 vs. E0.

Re: 2013 CB Performance Black Box Programmable Timing Control Module
I see some advantages: -you keep your stock gear, so in case of problem with the electronic, it's not a big job to revert to centrifugal weights for advance control (just unlock them) -you can customize and load a timing advance map from their software -it has a MAP sensor to which you feed your va...

Spare bendix drive (old gen), anyyone?
I've swapped my old gen starter for an EI version, but I'd like to fix up the OEM starter. Its bendix doesn't always engage, so I'm looking for a replacement bendix drive. I believe it's part #09-30-60. Anyone?

Re: Starter sometimes fails to engage
The starter is in now, and has successfully completed three starts. Subjectively, I'd say it spins about the same speed as the original, but with the expected additional gear noise that comes standard with gear-reduction starters. The EI starter is much lighter than OEM. My hints for others doing an...

Re: Starter sometimes fails to engage
First, it turns out the starter was mis-assembled from Scott's factory, and required partial disassembly and re-clocking. Required an impact wrench to loosen the two bolts that secure the mounting flange. Two issues remain, one small one bigger. Small issue: The starter motor compresses the sound-de...

Re: Starter sometimes fails to engage
Alas, no joy with the new EI gear-reduction starter. The lower nut & washer won't fit on when the starter is in place and tight against the mount.
I've opened a ticket with EI (Scott), and am awaiting a reply.
Ideas?

Re: Starter sometimes fails to engage
After listening to the group and reading the archives, it seems the likely culprit is the Bendix drive (one-way clutch). The new Bendix (for my v1 starter) seems to be not available (from SAV), and is about $200. Given that, I'm down the path of a new starter when balancing time, effort, and reliabi...

Re: Starter sometimes fails to engage
Starter is out and on the bench. Tips for anyone else removing a starter: - Disconnect battery (just to be safe) - Remove engine oil dipstick assembly (two bolts), and insert loose a 3/8in bolt into the hole as a cover to keep debris out. - Get the top nut off with a 19mm crow's foot wrench. It'll b...
