    Mirrors with front signal lights embeded

    I'd stay with OE mirrors many aftermarket parts are poor quality with fit and function. There are many small LED lights that could be attached to mirror housing with a little thought.. Wiring a little more difficult to hide for a clean install. Connections are easy just need to tap into...

    Testing Battery Charger

    Replace it. Most automatic chargers go to about 14 or so volts and then cycle as voltage drops. 12.4 starting voltage is a little low but should come up with a good charger. Cold batteries charge slower and take more amps. A very dead battery won't charge with many Float type chargers until...

    fuel tank leaking when disconnected for valve adjustment

    May just be a little dirt on O-ring at tank connection then. Try to clean it and check for leaks again . Leave tank up and turn key on this will pressurize lines and recheck for leaks.

    fuel tank leaking when disconnected for valve adjustment

    What did you remove? Gen 1 has feed and return lines to-from pump. Feed to fuel rail is a O-ring type connector. Return is clamped hose.O rings can fail or clamps are loose. No need to disconnect any fuel lines just prop tank up. Fuel level must be about 1/4 tank or it will overflow from neck...

    Oil Filter Anti-Drain Back Valve

    Threads up stays full. Any other position it can drain back into oil sump.. AND it will even with a good anti-valve just takes enough time. A better one is ideal at engine start up oil pressure comes up faster= less engine wear when filter is full. It's only a second or two until pump fills it...

    Overheating after valve check...any ideas?

    Iridium plugs can be gapped but most don't. Fine electrode is very easy to damage. I really think it doesn't matter larger gap will still work very well. Larger spark gap gives more area to ignite fuel mixture. NGK does not recommend gapping fine wire plugs. Iridium, Platinum. Unless...

    Oil Filter Anti-Drain Back Valve

    No filter is full. No. It can't it's not a pressurized system unless oil pump is pumping. Bleeds out at bearings. Some but not much. Plus whats in the filter. Not on a filter that's threads UP. Depends on how much BS you read on internet. Slow night?
