This evening, I was taking the axles out of the transmission of my old solo vee. Hopefully if I clean it up an put it together carefully, it won't leak as bad. When I took one of the side gears out, I was very suprised. Vibra-etched in clear cursive on the face of the gear is "hopefully this ti...

I managed to screw up another engine in my solo vee. I have not torn it down to see what happened, but it is no big loss on a homebuilt used engine. Getting ready to put another engine in, my buddy offered me his 1776 engine out of his Thing. The engine is equipped with CB performance dual 40mm thro...

If you are not overly concerned about weight, the 6V starter wi...
