4 Bongs and a some tubing ........you'll feel calmer too

 

Haha! My granddad had a bottle. We used to chase it around on the garage floor. "Whoops! It went down the drain! Better go get some more!"

It's fun to touch, too. And a small bottle full was like 15lbs. It was like a bottle of alien metal.. Coool!!

 

Are you suggesting the use of unlawful narcotics?? You surprise me Sprock! Lets prescribe some hard drugs

I used to love rolling the stuff off the chem lab bench onto the floor , looked like mini explosions and I seem to remember you could do some cool stuff with magnets??

 

Mercury isn't responsive to magnets. I think you can run electricity through it and make it do some weird stuff, though.

Something that does respond well to magnets is ferrofluid. It's cool as hell. Ever seen it? It's basically liquid suspended iron.
Here are a couple vids....

Yeah fero-fluids are great , I think one day we'll be building stuff outa this **** .
It's amazing the shapes you can get , imagine a machine made out of the stuff , able to change shape at the flick of a switch!

Transformers here we come

 

I checked my local shops and the estimates ranged from $150.00 to $300.+.
I had rather do it myself and know what has/has not been done.
I purchased the Morgan because I heard horror stories about the liquid, mercury or what ever that manufacture uses, being sucked into the engine and damaging it. The Morgan used steel rods attached to springs and works great.
On this motor it is a pain to do the job, very difficult to get access to the vacuum points, but do-able.
Trout was a big help, thanks again.

 

Any time, man.

You're right about the vac port location on these bikes. What a pain in the ****...
Even my longer needle nose pliers are a pain to get in there. You almost need long forceps or something.
Last time I synced them, I actually left the barb fittings screwed in where the plugs were, and then capped them. I don't know if it was the greatest idea, but it helps a little bit.

And you're right about the morgan carbtune. It's the best. Safe, easy, accurate. (and it saves you money the first time you use it)

 

Can someone provide me with the link for the carb cleaning procedure thread. I never done it and i had looked for 3 days in here and no luck yet. Pics on how-to would be great too. Thanks

an older thread with some good vids posted by none other than Naga Thai

Basically drop the float bowls& clean , pull the mains and pilot jets and clean ,
pull the needle valves and clean, around front pull the pilot air screws and clean
- pull the top caps , pull slides and clean needles and carbon off slides -
with everything apart - seafoam spray and gentle compressed air -
(my preferred way of being thorough)

reassemble everything (maintaining cleanliness) .

Gently all the way in with the pilot air screws to a gentle stop then back out 2.5 turns

float bowls may need new gaskets or use Permatex #1 sealant to reuse older ones.

Check tank for rust - or you'll get to do this repeatedly until that issue if it exists gets
taken care of with a tank sealant 1st and adding a fuel filter if not already present is
always a good idea

Bench test by filling carbs with gas to check for leaks before installing on bike
(trust me - you should do this )

Sometimes the orings in the T's between the carbs etc harden and leak too something to
watch our for.

 

Thanks Sprock!! I will make this my winter project or a very rainy saturday.
