going to be writing a massive HOW to- need help

hey guys- as time permit's i'm going to be rough drafting and compiling a HUGE article/ how to on everything xj, this will walk through everything needed to go over when you pull a bike from a barn to get it in running condition, to common trouble shooting, to mod advice, this will hopefully thin out all the pod, engine mod, yics, and common carb problems, and i will also touch on wise mods to make, etc etc.. this I hope will be stickied, i will detail from front wheel to rear tail light in detail of things to cover, linking to as many how to's as possible.

now- i will be extensively searching this site to find any and all usefull articles, I ask you dump all your bookmarked pages that you have found help ful- besudes those in the XJ Faq suggestions thread

right off the bat I know some things I cannot find- a nice wiring diagram, and nice picture of the non baby bottle synch tool, the one made purely out of tubing, and the link to cartman's .pdf collection of owners manuals and service manuals .

when I am finished, i will submit this to some more knowledgable members than i and ask for your proof reading, suggestion, and corrections. I know i will be using much of chacals articles and quoting, or copying and pasting or linking to other members posts... if any of you have a problem with it, I wont claim it at my own, though I may forget to sourse it.. but I'm making no money just helping the forum. let me know if you have a problem.

Thank you

 

I think it is a great project and would love to help in any way possible. I love proofreading. I also like well researched and referenced writing.

Can you get a moderator to block posts kind of like Chacal's catalog? After you compile and post, of course.

 

Isn't this what we already get when we get the XJCD?

 

This is where Micarl hosts wiring diagrams http://xjdiagrams.thundervalleypower.com/

Good luck, Mark

 

Best non-specific guide : http://www.clarity.net/~adam/buying-bike.html

I printed that out and took it with me when I bought my XJ.

 

I vote for a special section for Rick's tips & hints as well

 

i know right? it's going to be hard to do this, because lots of post have unnofficial how to's and great bits of info... it will just be hard finding them... havent even written a wqord down yet cuz farming takes up too much time..

 

WOW you are a brave man,and I thank you.
I guess your inbetween classes too, otherwise there isn't enough
coffee in Brazil for what you have planed!
I save a crap load of post and threads on my computer for reference
but I'm techtarded in the extream and have no idea how to
pass them to you. I'll get my kid to help and pm you when I've
succeeded
