Hi, I heave some questins?

First my valves are noisy and I have always used 2 quarts of STP with 2 quarts of Slick 50 plus ½ quart whit baring greese. Should I have use a bigger oil filter? I searched OIL but no topics found, I must be the first one with an oil question?

I was trying to hook it up and it didn’t start. When I checked all the fuses the antifreeze was low. I couldn’t tell if it was working so I jumped the battery strate to it and when I keyed it something under the seat buzzed. Did the smoke by the air filter make it not run?

The lights installed fine and they work but everything is dark. I searched but don’t make me read 178 pages to know the answer you can give me. When the clutch is on and the stand is, sometimes it doesn’t turn and the lights are not on. Is the dealer unable to find?

It is the STP, STP does not like to flow when cold. You should duct tape a bun warmer to the bottom of the oil pan to keep it warm and add two teaspoons of olive oil (extra virgin) and everything will be good.

I have an extra virgin if you need one.

As if 'Fridays' weren't enough. Another whole day of B.S.; think I might just skip today's posts. Yeah, I know I'm a party pooper.

Call a MEDIC!!

They have pretty white coats!!

 
Gunny +1 on the larger oil filter to make the lights bright.

Gunny +2 on replacing the entire wiring harness with one from Lucas to make the valves quieter.

Gunny +3 on the virgins? :rolleyes:

You need to change out the STP with molasses and then join the Candy Butt Association!
