Re: Blue print engine.
Jim a good mechanic will "blue print" the motor. If you don't check all clearances when putting one together, its not gonna last. A friend here that has a shop will do mine when I do a 1327. He builds alot of motors that see alot of abuse. Some of his past motors have helped the likes of Colin Edwards, Tom Kitts, Doug Toland, John Kociniski and more get where they are. A 600 GSXR that he did for Joe Prissano last year would have qualified 14th for the Daytona Super Bike race. Don "Old Man" Smith . To unsubscribe go to http://www.sayegh.org/unsubscribe.htm .

Tan, I've got an idea for you. Since the reflecter in the headlight is metal, drill a small hole that you can install a small bulb. One from the instrument panel, or one from a accessary turn indicator. Wire it in with the blue wire in the headlight that is for the running lights in the front turn indicators. It won't draw much and wil look like your headlight is on. Add a switch for the low beam to cut it off during the day, thats the green wire.

Re: Part#
You can't drill the pilots, even if you could find a drill small enough. Its too critical, .0005 makes a big difference. Thats about 1/6 the thickness of a hair. The pilots are available from KN in Oklahoma. If your below 1000ft altitude, then the 42.5 pilots. up to 2000ft. the 40.0. Since your changing the fuel and not the airjets, its more critical to not go overboard. On the floats you have to take the carbs part, but the only way to do it. You can leave them in pairs, you don't need to seperate them completely. Turn them upside down when you have the covers off, you want the float to be slightly above level. You may want to make a gage to get them as close as possible. If you need more help I'm here till 2pm cst. Don "Old Man" Smith . To unsubscribe go to http://www.sayegh.org/unsubscribe.htm .
