Hey yaw, What is the deal with these damn Tornado Flame Arrestors constantly Falling apart? It doesn't seem to matter if they are Tau Ceti, Hot Product or Blowsion, granted I know those are all the same just different label. I put a brand new set of on my new XS 1060 and the tops have both fell...

I had something similar happen the other week, after a riding session i found fuel mixture sprayed on my Ebox right by the rear carb. Although in my case the Motor, Carbs and reeds are all brand new. XS 1060, VF3 Reeds, Full Spec 50's. I'm curious if having fuel mixture spray out of the carbs is...

How about loud popping coming through the Carbs at low to mid throttle? I'm a little worried that its backfiring through the carbs but i'm not 100% on this.

Hey Yaw, I am running my first set of Aftermarket Carburetors, which are a set of Full Spectrum 50's on a XS 1060 w/ a Power Factor Exhaust (Also first's). Anyways, ever since I started running them I have noticed that they seem to make a lot more noise than say a 735 with 38's. There is what I...

Do they have issues with excessive heat?

Hahah I know how you feel! This past Monday was my first ride of the season. But that's because I upgraded to a XS1060 and It took me forever to finish my build.

Any updates from those of yaw running these?

Are they the silicone covers I was talking about? Just wana make sure since there isn't a pic.

What is that? I saw a set of silicone covers that went over the flame arrestors, for priming and washdowns but I can't recall where and I haven't been able to find them since.

Hey, For those with aftermarket Carbs where do yaw normally drill and install primer fittings? I just got a set of FS 50's and it appears the location where they normally go is partially blocked.

Did your new key have what looks like a little divot on one side, like you would get from a spring punch? Mine did and I assumed it was intentional since it helped to hold the key in the slot on the crank.

Hi, I decided to post this as I found it hard to find all of the necessary information in one place and It was my first time building a 155 pump. Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say "If your pump seal is too thick like mine you will have to mill it down to the correct thickness."...

What do you consider too high on the waterbox temps?

I agree that there can definitely be a difference between using an old woodruff key and a brand new one. I just assembled my new XS 1060 and the older key, I was going to use, definitely allowed the flywheel to have a little slop to it, whereas with a new key, there was essentially no movement...

That's a good point!

Yea thats why I wasn't really going off the factory spec. I am using billet ones though.

Hey yaw, I'm curious what does everyone consider a acceptable clearances when aligning the Motor and Midshaft using Billet Couplers? I know what the factory specs are but a height difference (Dim A) of 0.039" seems excessive. Personally I try to have no more than a 0.005 " difference in...

Here's a prep question I'm hoping someone can answer. When abrasive blasting aluminum castings such as pumps or nozzles, prior to painting, will using an aluminum oxide based media cause any issues with paint adhesion?

I could see this with the pump especially if you have any slop in the pump mounting holes. Mine are so tight the pump can only really sit in one spot. Question for ya though, do you either use the alignment pins with your CF tool and midshaft or, if you don't have pin holes, install the CF...

Has anyone thought about adding a grease fitting on either the midshaft itself or on the outside of the midshaft side coupler to re-grease the splines without a full disassembly?
