hobospyder Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I think my brother might have some pm him (jastrunk97) I'm thinking I'm gonna buy some super loud ones off of eBay. One thing I've learned from riding is that you can never have a loud enough horn Link to comment

hobospyder Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 rolled the datsun to work today, met a fellow ratsuner to pick up a mac and cheese scented air freshener (thanks trophy24) (no oic of the air freshener until it gets hung later on) and a couple (read all) of my coworkers give me flak for being the tallest guy in shop with the smallest truck so i had to take a picture next to the biggest truck owned by my shop the sad thing is i did this with my s10 a while ago as well (lost picture here) either way his truck dwarves mine. figured i would share, the little miss is not forgotten, just no time to work on her and i need to get some parts before i do. and put together my blue bike that is currently spread throughout my garage garage: (insert picture of messy garage) 3 Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Nice! Love the rims! Link to comment
hobospyder Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 they are kmc xd122 enduro rims in 16x8 with 0 offset, i had to get them powder coated blue because they only come in black and polished. usually seen on off road vehicles, when i had the tires put on one of the guys in the shop actually told me it was the first time they saw such small tires going onto rims like mine. made me happy Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 been a couple of months since i updated this. was driving little miss around randomly, mostly in town. attempted to take her to a meetup but only two people made it before me and they left before i got there. drove her to work and around town a few times. i think i may have put gas in her three times since she got to running good. drove her to work one day instead of riding because i felt she needed to be driven and i had gotten a speeding ticket that i had to pay. on the way to work she started sputtering a little on the freeway and a couple back fires on gear braking. ride home as soon as i got off the freeway i started having issues, trying to die when the accelerator was released and what not, compression start because i wasn't stopping due to it. upon restart she would backfire, loudly in the middle of the night in residential neighborhoods. parked her in the driveway and put her in time out. got to poking around while she was in the driveway and talking to friends at work and we came to a consensus that i had a fuel issue. drained the tank today, started looking to see how hard it is to drop the tank and looking around underneath and then i got to poking around under the hood while i was out and tinkering. blew out the fuel lines from pump to tank this doesn't look right so yeah, need to drop the tank, clean out and coat it. 1 Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 That filter :sick: The tank is a bit of a pain to drop due to the location of the bolts, but once you get into it it comes out pretty quick. 1 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 need more wd40. or pb blaster or whatever it is, a trip to the parts house is required though 1 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 so, got up this morning, cleaned my room while waiting for the baby momma to arrive for her visitation today and after she got here off i went to the parts house. picked up pb blaster, rust cleaner something or another and tank coat stuff. i had a picture but i guess i deleted it sorry. then i got to work pulling bolts and getting dirty and yelling at my gas tank for one reason or another. got it out cut all the hoses except the filler hose because that one decided to tear and i couldn't get the old ass hose clamps off pulled the reservoir tank again cutting hoses to loose them then a second trip to the parts house in attempts to clean the outer surfaces of 41 years of gunge and replacement hoses then did this left the garage like this i think she's a little to tall for how i want her, needs more lower like, 720 4x4 leafs in the future and keep the 2 inch blocks that i found out she has already. been wanting to do a 2 inch drop from where she's at and thought i'd have to buy blocks 2 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 still need to get the tank cleaned and coated. might hire a down and out buddy of mine to get it done for me 2 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 got to poking around in the garage today. fixed my messed up throttle cable on little miss and looked under her, found a leak that wasn't there when i was driving and is kinda worrisome to me got upset while i was playing with the carb because i have no idea where my 13mm combo wrench went so i started working on kimiko (my blue bike) and she's starting to look like a bike again 1 Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Looks like you may need a new pinion seal, does the saturation start at the front od the diff? Nice bike :cool: Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'll have to look when I get back home. Gotta get a couple filler necks too. And thanks. She was my first, been trying to get her running for like 2 or 3 years now. Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Went to the gas station and filled up a couple gas cans, figured I'll use it when I get the tank back on but it's worth finding out if she'll run proper with new gas. Held idle for a few minutes and then died. Wanna say lasted like five minutes without me having to hit the throttle. May have my mechanic rebuild the l20b that I got for toolbox and throw into little miss. Kinda heartbroken right now Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Front side of rear diff that redeye was asking about Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Leaking everywhere. You will want to replace the pinion seal and reseal the diff to the housing. Link to comment
uberkevin Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Damn I think if I rrecall mine is leaking too. And now I know. And that BIKE! :) whens it getting out on the road? 1 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Leaking everywhere. You will want to replace the pinion seal and reseal the diff to the housing. sounds like something that will have to wait until after I move and tells me I shouldn't try to get her running good so that I can drive her up there Or would she be able to make the drive to sedro-wooley with the way it is?

hobospyder Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Damn I think if I rrecall mine is leaking too. And now I know. And that BIKE! :) whens it getting out on the road?learn from my booboos. Best plan ever And that bike, might not be fully on the road until next year and I will start swapping between the two. still needs coolant, oil, brakes (fronts are shot due to running over a bottle of something clear and oily either brake fluid or power steering fluid before she went down) and I need to finish up the chain as well as out all the plastics back on and replace the four bolts that hold the front cowl on. Engine replacement ended up running a lot longer than expected sadly. Ended up buying a new one due to lack of interest Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 On and I bought enough fuel filler hose to do little miss and toolbox. Figured I needed enough to mess up and it was sold by the foot so I got two feet of it Link to comment
