    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    I should elaborate when I said I was scared of it what I should have said I’m scared of where it might end up in the off chance I’m no longer in it. With no driver it’s just a missile and I got lucky it kicked the chain after it rolled. I know now not to be so carless. Thinking about the...

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    I hate To admit it but everything to do with the driven is getting cut off and I’ll start again. As I’m mounting it with the new square tubing I’ll have the chain on and at the correct tension when I weld the bars down. Sucks so bad but it has to be done as no chain tensioner is gonna work...

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    I am looking into that as I had no time to react to my slap down switches I was trying to steer with the front end straight up in the air :ROFLMAO: My ego is absolutely the most damaged out of the whole ordeal. Again with how violent it rolled I’m in disbelief it didn’t destroy everything.

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    The front end is straightened back out and I’m re-adjusting the tie-rods. I went to start it and it had zero spark So I yanked the fan pulley and used the windows in the flywheel to file the points and it started right up and was idling away normally with zero bog. I’m now wondering if it was...

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    When it rolled I thought it was going to be truly destroyed. I am gobsmacked it didn’t end up a scrap pile. Thankfully it kicked the chain I hobbled over and shut it off then ran home and towed it back with the ATV. It landed back on its wheels. What I witnessed and had happen to me today...

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    I will come back and say it was the second test ride actually the first one went very smooth down the street ahhhh it’s powerful and fast. Very very smooth I was actually very very satisfied with it. Both front hubs and rims are destroyed beyond bending back into shape. I’ve already bent the...

    The call of duty zombies storyline ended long ago but we still are finding Easter eggs and new things to this day. The story is truly immeasurable. Dr. Gersh: "Convey my sincere gratitude to you for that, but onto to business. I am pleased to report all projects are running smoothly again...

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    It wasn’t needed the diaphragm and gaskets seemed to be new. It was weird it definitely sat but I don’t think it sat for 30 years like the PO said. With the wiseco’s and the gaskets and just the way everything about the engine was I believe it was professionally done up and just left to sit...

    It might not kill us all but there is a good chance that are first defense against a rise up and hostile takeover is destroying all power station local/global. Would force us to kick ourselves back into the Stone Age in my opinion. The thing about the movie style AI is the robots never stop to...

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    I ran my other rockwell 440 with no air box and a motorcycle exhaust and it had plenty of power. enough for me to get the tires spinning and crash it into the fence :ROFLMAO: It’s pouring outside so I don’t think I’m gonna get to do any testing today.

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    That’s on the list of things to go through I got a shop vac kicking around and it sounds easy enough. I got the carburetor apart and it is insane the diaphragm and gaskets look like they were installed yesterday they were in such good a good condition. Makes me think the previous owner straight...

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    Cupping my hand over the carb inlet would sometimes allow it to rev up slightly better but other times it would cause it to directly bog out and stall. I have the carb gone through and back on but I know my limits when It comes to what will upset the neighbors. So I’ll find out more tomorrow.

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    The first start and run was amazing and not amazing. The engine is smooth as silk. Does not vibrate or shake it is nice and solid while being very smooth so that is one worry that I no longer have. It idles all day will try to rev but immediately just falls off and bogs when any throttle is...
