    difference in carbs, 1995-130 Looper

    I have see several sets of carbs for 90 deg v4 loopers from a 1995-130 around. but I was wondering if the extra idle screw was worth the money to put it on my 1985-140. I do have a set of 6 peddle reeds to go with it

    bushings for throttle shaft

    looking at the 1980 crossflow 115 that I have here, I have never seen the shaft that goes through the carb housing so loose. that has to be a vacume leak. is there a bushing available or should I try to find another carb assembly for this 115

    difference in 115 and 140 crossflow

    I was wondering what was the difference between my friends 1979-115 and a 1980-140? is it just the bubble back exaust? cause the 140 has it the 115 dosent. and will it fit, and if it does will he gain anything? or is it carbs? any info will be greatly appreciated. thanks

    add finger ports? v4 looper

    like Dhadley said, put 93 or newer pistons and rods in your 120-140 looper. well, why not add the finger ports to the block that go along with them :) that should really wake her up. where do I send the block?

    what pistons for rebuild? v4 looper

    I really dont know what I should put in my 120-140 rebuild. any input would help me. stock cast or hypereutectic? forged needs too much piston to wall clearance for my stock 3.50 bore and is kinda noisy. it wont be turning up past 6000. thanks

    why are rod caps magnetized?

    I remember a reply from Dhadley that its not good that the caps are magnetized, that the bearings dont like it. well how do I stop it? and how did it happen?

    v4 looper charging volts

    my other 1985-140 according to my gauge charged at a max of 14.5 and not all the time. my 85-140 that I have now charges to 15.1 anything above 4500. I dont have a battery problem, and they are parralled. but I have the assembly and it doesnt state the maximum volts. am I trying to split hairs...
