  1. I sure am glad you were there! I didn't feel so bad not wanting to go 130+ mph like Trapper! :) That was crazy how fast we were going...a lot faster than I've ever been! haha It was fun though! All I kept thinking was that we were going to get pulled over and all I had was a permit! Annnnddd I didn't slow down to 45 after seeing that cop haha :)

    I bet you're like me.....never pulled over so fast on a highway and out so fast...while cars fly by going 80... sooooo close to you! haha

    I could have sworn you added up more points though! :)

    I've only been faster than that in the cage. I've gotten a ticket for going 90 once. If it makes you feel better, I only had my permit also.

    I think I added up more also, but it still wouldn't have been enough to win. Ah well, we had fun either way.

  2. Other than when I drove my 78 Malibu, I never really had the desire to race anyone. I'm sure that feeling comes back when I get done with my S-10 (putting a 350 sbc into the truck).

    Can't answer your question sorry.

  3. The petcock was 'damaged' while I was cleaning the tank. It was completely clogged up. After I got it cleaned out, I found out that it continues to allow fuel to flow through, just at a slower rate.

    I need a new one of those, and will get one soon.

  4. I bought a 94 Magna back in January and got it running about 2 months ago. The previous owner said he let the bike set in his garage for 4 years with little to no running the entire time.

    To get it started I had to pull the tank off, clean all the rust and crap out from it and coat it. Replaced the fuel lines from the tank to the carbs. Cleaned the carbs 3 times and am pretty sure everything inside them is working correctly.

    I'm still having a problem with atleast one cylinder not firing all the time. At idle it seems that one keeps cutting out, but at higher RPMs it seems to do fine.

    Another problem is after I shut off the engine, I have to clamp the fuel line shut, and let the engine run to get some fuel out of the lines or else one cylinder will fill with fuel and let it run out of the exhaust pipe. If it does this, the engine hydro-locks and I can't start it before getting the fuel out of the cylinder.

    All the people I've talked to so far says its not a carb problem, but possibly an engine problem since the bike sat for so long.

    If I have to take it to a garage I will, but that might take some time. Any ideas would help since I could possibly do it easier/cheaper than a garage.
