Wrench Session Nov 15th

[Greg Cothern]

Sorry for the late notice, with my brother Kelly getting his Magna we need to do jet and shims the carbs etc.  So I am off call this next coming weekend so here we GO!

Open the garage door at 0900 and close whenever we are finished!  Come to work, or to watch, JUST COME!

I have a question.  I drilled my pipes this weekend.  However, it may be my imagination, but it seems that I have some hestiation now when I take off.  But once it smooths out it seems to have have a little more getty up.  This only happens when I am really getting on it.  Is this my imagination or could this have happened since drilling my pipes.  Do I need to jet and shim carbs?

[Greg Cothern]

Opening up the endplates by drilling will certainly make them flow more, thus making it run leaner. 

Do you know what the previous owner has done in the way of changes to the carbs?  Air filter?

ALL 3rd Gen Magna's benefit from shims even it its 100% stock from nose to tail!

Correct amundo!!

I jetted and shimmed my stock setup and it Stilled has mid-range issues. I had 1 stock and 1 drilled with K & N, shimmed & jetted granted I didn't ride them much but didn't notice a difference. Maybe with more riding I could have but midrange is an issue on both.

When you do something on your bike you also start paying attention, it was there before.

Where can I get jets and shimms before Saturday?

Steal them from a friends bike and RUN!

If you call DD you will most likely have them by Friday...IF you have him mail them Tuesday. If your mail runs slow, ship them to Gregs.

At the last minute I found a Honda dealer (Al Lambs) scrounged in the service area and located 4 for me, a Honda dealer might be able to have them also.  This will need to happen on Tuesday morning.

Either way, your pushing it.

Got the kit ordered from DD tonight.  They were still there.  He said that i should have it by Thursday or Friday at latest.  The only thing he did not have was the 3" tool used to adjust the D shaped screws. I figured as many of these as has been done someone there will have one of these.  See you guys Saturday.  Greg what do I need to bring?

Can you post the location?  I have to come pick up my parts bike from Bob Barram next weekend, so I might as well come harass you guys for awhile since I will be in the Big D.

[Greg Cothern]

Sent you an email with directions...

[TLRam1]

Greg what do I need to bring?

Bring that keg you have filled with koolaid!

[Len Averyt]

I'll be there. just to hang out, help ect.
Let folks look and try out the darkside magna.
I need to change the front sprocket and chain though. may see if I can round up the parts in time.
Any place a good place to get these?
Can also talk about my Magna audio project that i'm close to getting the prototype built.

[dgc67]

Looks like my trip to pick up the parts bike will be on Sunday, too much to do Saturday.  I will have to make one of these, or host one I guess, so I can get you guys to come work on my bike for free!

I am planning on a full frame off restoration on the "parts" bike I just got, so I should have plenty of projects for the next 6 mos. or so.

[KTC]

since Allen decided to work and not come up, will he still make good on the "lunch"?   

[Aurox]

Can you send me the location also.  I think I just might boogy up that way in the morning.
