I've been thinking of a few questions to ask on here since I started reading thru old threads here. I'll have a couple more soon once I get the camera out. Here goes.
1) I assume that Arens frames use factory size lower stem bearings and seals, therefore allowing any brand stem (made to fit stock frame) besides an Arens stem to be used except minor modification to bump stops on stem or frame. True or false?
2) Has anyone heard of or remember "Steve Miley" brand A-arms?
3) Anyone using a new radial style front master cylinder off a late model quad or other (with stock calipers, steel braided lines)? Which one, and much advantage in feel, initial bite, or lever travel?
4) On an engine built similar to mine in my sig, is it possible that a PJ carb (with EVERTHING to do with the PJ tuned perfect) can still result in a no idle condition? Yeah I have played with pilot, main, air bleed and slide hight but, not the needle and mine will almost Idle just after warming up enuff to take off choke. Any warmer than that and it dies fast and hard (think on off switch). I was told long ago that switching to a PWK can fix this. Mine is currently 215psi compression with a 16cc dome and 80+hrs. I'd say it makes around 43-47hp. I did get it to idle with the PJ (mostly with slide hight) but it ran like crap.
5) Why doesn't anyone run carbs with an acellerator pump? Like a Mikuni R/S flat slide.
