Re: Bolt on valve covers

I think the same accident that could knock an old school cover off would crack open a new style cover anyway. In either case you still get oil on the track but you might have a little less with the new style . It makes a lot of sense in Solo racing since it's really hard for a cone to crack a valve ...

You just need the typical dual return springs we already use on Vees for a push/pull cable.

Re: Throttle return spring examples

You might want to check out your throttle cable. If it has too much resistance or it's old you should replace it. Just my opinion but controlling the throttle of a race car with a bicycle type cable doesn't sound or feel safe. Over time they tend to wear and in some cases fray or rust on the inside....

Re: Wobble?

If everything is tight, no slop in the steering or linkage, shocks are smooth with no dead spots and the wheel bearing are adjusted correctly, it might be your rims and tires. Did the wobble start and end at the same speed? Did you try swapping out the tires?

Re: Rear axle bearing seals

If you're refering to #7, some people might feel it's over kill, but anytime you disassemble the housing, I'd change the seals. The kits go for $2.50 per side... and they are really not that hard to install.
