Re: Mike Wallace - AKA mdwdvm

Thanks to all for the well wishes and kind words. I'll provide a quick synopsis of my health challenge here, just so those who may not have the time to invest in going to the Caring Bridge site have an initial idea of the dragon I'm fighting. Last Friday I was blind-sided with a diagnosis of leukemi...

Re: 2015 11th Int. Boss Hoss Rally at Pullman, Germany

Bill, Thanks for the great report. It looks like there were a lot of good people, good times, interesting bikes and lots of fun!! What was the attendance like as compared to year's past? I've never been, but from pictures/videos I've seen of earlier rallies I got the impression that maybe this was a...

Re: Trans Oil and filter change

[quote="V-MAN new fluid or a new trans filter WILL NOT CAUSE YOUR TRANS TO FAIL .[/quote] Well maybe it could - if you took the old filter and put it in a very high speed industrial blender/grinder to homogenize it, and then put it back in with the new fluid. Just sayin............. :anvil:

Re: Off Topic - Boss Hoss T-Shirts / sschevygrl

Mark, I bought a 25th anniversary shirt from sschevygirl on ebay back in April and received with no problems. I think the seller that Jack mentioned is actually flaskmanchin - I've purchased from him and he's very responsive and even willing to customize the shirts. I had a local shop make a shirt f...

Re: NOS mount for Arnott shocks

FYI - when I upgraded to the Anotts on both my bikes from the stock Aldan spring shocks, the NOS bottle mounts fit just fine. The mounts should work on either.

Re: NOS mount for Arnott shocks

Bill, Marv has them on the second page of the second 'book' of custom accessories - under the NOS bottle. It's titled NOS bottle and accessories and when you click on it a list will show that includes the brackets. I would paste a link but I'm on my iPad and tougher to do than on my computer. Mike

At this point I have it completely hooked up, but not totally finished with securing all my wiring, in part because I'm installing a keyless ignition at the same time and I have ...

PMs and Outbox

I've sent PMs successfully in the past, but have several that I've sent this past weekend that are still sitting in the outbox folder. Do they stay there until the receiving party opens them, or am I somehow failing to get them actually sent?

Re: Vapor lock??

I've found at least on my set up that a fuel pressure gage Teed of from the fuel line to the carb does not read very accurately . I found that it is more accurate Teed right off the pump itself . Jack - with the return system I have in place - the pressure off the pump is not helpful as it will be ...

Back together and it was better, but still not good - lowest pressure I could attain was 8.5 psi. While working on...

Re: Vapor lock??

Zach, I agree that line insulation should be helpful. My fuel pump went out on my big block a little over a week ago so I decided that while I was at it I should make a few changes to help with the heat and potential vapor lock since the 502 is more prone. It's taken a bit of time and effort, but he...
