Carb Synch?!

Let me know when they hit the stockroom. I'll gladly shell out some $$ to get her running *right*. What's another two weeks when it's raining?

Carb's And Blue Flame

I have step-bysteped Steve's processes ( Thanks!! ) on my '80 Darmah, and found the wire sheaths to be in good shape. I didn't mess with the pick ups and re-wiring them, just replaced the ones which had melted together. Finally got it all back together, put in too much oil ( who says it takes 5 ...

Neutral Switch Mysteries

I am one of the luck few to receive a bike ( '80 Darmah ) with a functioning Neutral switch. The biggest problem seems to be the chain wearing the brass cam down to a nub and negating its function.

Backfiring And The Flying Leeches

I read through all the relevant topics regarding Carb rebuilding for my '80 Darmah SD ( done! ), and had the similar issue with backfiring and blue flames leaping out of the left pipe. I was a bit leery of pulling the cases open for fear of flying leeches, or something else as sinister, zooming out ...
