The Koolaid Project

Now that you posted while I wrote the above....

I have the same jets all across mine.

Oh and I bought a 50" plamsa Panasonic Viera a couple weeks ago because my RCA rear projection took a crap. I wanted bigger but my house it only 16' wide!

 

SWEET! I'll go make sure I have them in correctly in a min. I was straight on the pilot and main jets. The other two were the ones I couldn't remember.

Hey, I just realized that you have a 650, so you SHOULD have smaller jets. I think mine are just stock.

 

Right. Per Chacal's catalog the 120 main is stock for yours.

 

hahahahaha.....NICE! I took a bunch of shit from the wife about it being too big. She says it's going to look ridiculous up there. I only have a 43" samsung in the LR downstairs, because it's above the fireplace mantle and the mantle it too f'n high....that's the biggest that would fit. I MIGHT be able to squeeze a 46 up there, but it would prob look goofy. I wanted to lower the mantle, but the wife said no.

OK....looking at the jets I'm still confused. on the top there are 3 holes. Jets go in two of them. Which one goes in the center hole....220 0r 80?

 

One hole is for the screw that holds the cover plate on.

Found this:

The smaller air jet goes in the middle hole under the diaphragm.
The larger air jet goes toward the front under the diaphragm.

Which would make the screw holding the cover plate go in the back hole.

 

I meant the 200 mains sound big. 120 40 is stock for the 750. I run 132 main and stock pilot for now but was gonna go with a 42. The larger number is the main wich is the taller post with the jet in it looking at tthe bottom.

The 65" is 1449 with stand shipped from shop nbc, not sure if it is worth, what you guys think of dlp. 1080p 120hrz with 3d ready. It almost sounds too good to be true.

 

good deal man..... thanks. I'm going out to work on the bike right now.

 

oh, yeah 200 mains would be ridiculous. the 220 is one of the jets under the diaphram. I know what what main and pilot jets are and where they go and everything... just wasn't sure about those under the diaphram. I'm straight now....

I had a 52" Samsung DLP about 6 years ago and loved it. We didn't have room for it when we moved here though, so it had to go. The picture was great, but the only reason I won't go back to DLP is because the color wheel and light don't have a long enough lifespan for me and they are expensive to replace. My color wheel went out in the first 3 months I had it. It was still under warranty, so I was ok, but it would have been like $200-$300 to fix, so I'm sticking to Plasma/LCD now.

I know where you can get a 52" Samsung LCD for under $800

 

Oh ok oops, my bad.

I am still not sold on any TV. Where did you get yours again. I hate the fact they only would last 5-7 years tops.

 

I got my from Amazon Warehouse (warehousedeals.com)

I got the carbs and back on the bike. I LOVE how easy it is to get the carbs off and on without the airbox. I won't dread doing it now. When I was hooking up the battery I accidentally touched the ground to the + on the starter relay and CRAP... shorted something out. I found two fuses blown, but something else is still keeping it from starting... I was so close too....hahahahahaha

 

whoa, a 1500 3d tv? hmm, i was watching somethng about those, and they're supposed to be 1000 more than an hd tv of the same size

 

I put a screw driver across the starter solenoid, because I didn't make it outto get more fuses or find out what all damage I've done and BOOM! It started up with no issues and idled just fine. Well... it did pop and crack a bit....

Gas still spilled out of carb #2 when I left it on though, so that needs taken care of.

I'm back on day shift starting tomorrow. I leave the house at 6am and don't get home until 730pm, so I probably won't get a chance to look at the bike again until Friday. I'm off Fri-Sun though, so hopefully I can make some more progress.

 

Ya Think because its DLP. I searched around and the going price is about that for the Mitsubishi.

Not to high jack and talk about tvs

We need some more pics soon on progress koolaid

 

talk about whatever you want in my threads. I don't mind.

There will be no more progress today or tomorrow, because I'm working 12 hour days. Friday I plan on swinging by the store to pick up the fuses I blew, but I'm pretty sure I toasted the starter solenoid as well, so I'll have to order one of those from somewhere. Anyone have a spare lying around?

I also just bought a different rear fender that already has the struts fabed and on, so that saves me that step. The 6" one I got from TCBros can just go towards the next project.

I think I'll start working on the gas tank next.

To-do list

Tank
- stripped
- lined
- painted
- installed

Rear Fender
- painted
- mounted

Seat
- mounted

Carbs
- balanced
- order some new jets if I don't hear back from 6 Sigma about the bogus ones they sent me
- install proper jets
- tune again

Electrical
- un-f*** my f***up
- finish hooking up signals, light, and brake light
- clean everything up and make it look purty

at this point I will be on the road and just have small things here and there as usual like fab up some sidecovers.

 

and yes... DLP tv's are going to be cheaper than plasma and LCD's

 

Totally just read this whole thing, nice work so far man! Where is that seat off of? You think it would fit a 750 maxim? I love the way it looks!

When you get back to the states, hop right back into it and share it with us along the way!

Nice work again man!

 

Thanks a lot. I might have to dig it out of the shed while I'm home on vacation in March. MAYBE.... it depends on how big my honey do list is. Being gone for 4-5 months at a time that list tends to get quite large.

The 2up seat is off of a Sportster. I forget what year. Sure it can fit a maxim. You can make anything fit with a little tweaking.

 

cool, i will have to look into that seat, it looks really nice.

 

hhhhmmmmm.... You MIGHT be able to talk me into selling you mine if you can't find one. I'll be home on vacation in March. the seat is really comfortable. I haven't decided on how to mount it yet though. the rear just has a tab that would bolt to the rear fender. just need to figure out the front. It sits on the frame perfectly though.

 

I'll pm ya, thanks man!
