Dang! That's like hearing someone else's nightmares, love to hear them but thank God I didn't experience them. Please try to come to ZCON in Austin! We'll have a big time.

Back in my daze, when I scraped out my pipes that was "hash".

Man I tell you, for some reason I feel a lot better after sharing my mistakes with you Mark. All my life my family and friends made me feel like a stupid a** because of the way I lived. THANK YOU!

I had a step dad that told me about the red haired scents that was $25 to $35 an oz back then. I was in diapers!

Mark that is so cool you just don't know. 1985 one month after turning 16 I got one of the first crotch rockets there was, Honda Interceptor 750. It would do 130mph easy. But the brakes sucked. I almost lost my right foot crashing that thing then jumping up to kill the motor. It was running wide open four feet from me and gas was pouring out everywhere. When I stood up my tibia shot out the side of my leg at least six inches, I was standing on it and my left foot. Looked down and instantly fainted/passed out went into shock. Stayed in the hospital for one month. Weed was $100 an oz and my friends used my hospital stay as a hotel room. Stuffed towels under the door and smoked it up! I had a demoral pump that was set at 7 minute intervals. Needless to say I puked every seven minutes it seemed like. Me and my parents are thankful for everyday! I'd like to sit down, drink some cold beers and talk about "the good old days (sarcastically he typed). Here's to better days we both have earned the hard way. One of my songs is "Bird nest on the ground" by Doyle Bramyall.

Yes sir! I agree with Ms Maras after reading the post above, you've been harming yourself longer than I been alive. Maybe you can put those days behind you and start down the "C"harming path. 8^) After seeing your sledge hammer hands I'd enjoy hearing some life stories I know you have. Take care. Cliff

Thank you Mark. I rarely hear that phrase.

Looks good but tough work. We have very similar work benches, old hardwood doors.

My thinking is when you hit the gas the front float, being in an opposite position of the rear, swings up shutting off the fuel flow. That was the reason they made them deeper. Now if the lids were both facing forward and the float would drop when you accelerate then I could understand the same length ears and valves. But we all think differently and that's what makes our forum the best, no hard headed know-it-alls cramming their thoughts in your head.

I thought the same thing Zed the other day, where's Mark? Wow! I'm a big ole pu**y after seeing that and complaining the way I have. I sure am sorry about that, you'll miss that ear scratcher. It's hard to tie your shoes without that finger too I've realized. Kinda puts a kink in the finger test, " Poor communication while working on heavy machinery." To see what your fingers say about you, straighten out your left hand and compare it to the images below. Hand "A" means your ring finger is longer than your index finger. Hand "B" means your index finger is longer than your ring finger. Hand "C" means your ring and index finger are the same length Hand "C" means you're a good communicator! Actually you'd be an A. Hand "A" means you are charming!

Thanks Dave, I'm bad to get tunnel vision or tunnel thinking. Blue thank you too, I adjusted mine very similar to what you're saying. The floats should be parallel to the lids. I've always set mine to.55" upside down. It's running very well now so it may be awhile but I want to try what Dave did, have them dangling down, not resting on the pin and see if there's much difference that way. But I'm not touching them until I have to. 8^) And the floats in my last pic are the worst two of six. Those are my parts/core set. So the moral of my hiccup or foul up, for my information is the earlier 4 screw SUs have equal depth float pin arms or ears. Learned something new today. Thanks.

Dave I'm so sorry! I had know idea your ears were the same. That explains everything. All mine are 3 screws. The front lid overflow bung is on the rear closet to the motor side. The rear carb that overflow is closest to the fender. I'm so sorry. I feel foolish. Sorry Mr Palmer too.

I was raised to respect my elders so please don't take this as my attempt at arguing, I'm just puzzled. I've rebuilt 2 sets of 3 screw round top SUs and the front float valve is about an 1/8th of an inch longer. To make my valves from Ztherapy work I had to add an extra aluminium washer under the front float valve. I've read many post about the front carb needing the extra depth for when the fuel all goes to the back of the bowl on acceleration. Am I wrong @Blue @Jarvo2 @jonathanrussell? It wouldn't be the first time and sure won't be the last but it is what it is. I apologize for disagreeing with Mr Palmer, he is a very nice man and they may work without that extra washer but to keep the tang on my float from being bent almost straight down I added that extra washer. A quick google search, https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=240z different lenghth float valves Picture of another set of SUs I have for parts. You can see the difference on the float pins ears and the valves laying beside the rear float. How could "one size fit all"?

My new puppy eats something I would eat (have eaten the chicken, had to try it out! ). Toothpaste with antifreeze ingredient diethylene glycol, DEG. WASHINGTON — The government warned consumers on Friday to avoid using toothpaste made in China because it may contain a poisonous chemical used in antifreeze. Out of caution, the Food and Drug Administration said, people should throw away toothpaste with labeling that says it was made in China. The FDA is concerned that these products may contain diethylene glycol The alert says the agency found DEG in three products manufactured by Goldcredit International Trading in China. The products are Cooldent Fluoride, Cooldent Spearmint and Cooldent ICE. Analysis of the products revealed they contained between 3 percent and 4 percent DEG. https://goldcredit.en.alibaba.com/

When I had him neutered they took away his favorite "toys". 8^( I can't stand it when SOMEBODY ELSE'S dog licks my face, mine, it's okay.

Where did you find the grommet? Thanks!

here's something from rockauto.com that shows that they are different lengths. This is the front , longer

You did, I didn't read the whole thread.

There were two different lengths of valves originally, I think the front one was longer. Here's something I grabbed from MSA's site " Image Note:In the image you can see two needle valve housings. One is for the front carburetor and one is for the rear (they are different lengths). The interior valve assembly is pre-installed in one of these two. Match the housing length up to the carburetor you are rebuilding, and install the valve assembly in that housing, if not already in the correct housing. Each kit includes both housings, so one will be unused." http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/11-3151 In your picture above that float should be parallel to the lid and higher in the front, opposite the valve side. Do you have the SU DVD from Ztherapy?

Did you do the ones around the tail lights?

Took the stitches out Monday night. Looks better than I thought but it's still numb. Found a new way to roll the carrots and cut spade shaped pieces off. Something good came from my accident, new carrot slices. Whup Whup!!! Just kidding, it sucked. I've got a filthy house and no clean socks plus going commando for a couple of days. But it's just been me and my dog and he's sniffing my bung while I'm sleeping. Damn gay dog!

I wanted to let you know how happy I am to see your activity on CZC. We have missed your participation and humor, I know I have. So glad that you're back sharing your knowledgeable and humorous insight/replies. You've been missed! Cliff

That's a price breakdown, $4,750 labor and $800 for supplies. You paid them $5,550 to paint your car, one payment. Very fair for installing new metal IMHO. Quit complaining to us please. Be a man and handle your business.

You get what you pay for! They left the battery connected, possibly. That was your lowest estimate body shop I'm sure.
