    Carb plastic cam roller question

    Working on a motor for a neighbor. 84 4hp Rude Twin. Does the plastic butterfly cam follower just snap on? Can't see any clip in the IShop diagram. Seems the butterfly adjustment is all the way out, and also the ignition advance would seem to be way too advanced at part throttle (to 3/4) as the...

    Ethanol instead of oil argument

    Seems we will all lose in this Ethanol BS. ALL it does is find a way to DECREASE our foreign oil import. Period. Does NOTHING for us in the long run with older motors that will fail.<br />It won't start a car in cold weather, even E85 is 15% gas so the damn thing will start. Sure, it has a high...
