New Cam suggestions
I had planed on buy a "set" including lash pads and rockers , i have factory type 2 tranny 4 speed , dreaming of a borg 5 speed , and was hoping for the 180 rear end with the 3.94 I think gears , not sure if I am correct but something simliar to that . i also am putting in a electronic dizzy , not sure if that makes any diffrence , I didn't realize the 2.8 stroke would amke the higher rpms not quite as effective , but i do love the ideal of more torque

Strange Brake Light Problem
before buying a new one which will be big bucks i would look for a partial harness or one from a junk yard , kinda a long shot , but my brothers 260's rear lights went as we went along all of the sockets needed attention so it never hurts to have extra, good luck:geek:

AU - Cheap Simmons?
I have emailed alot of Japanese makers of wheels and after alot of typing found most will ship to you or somebody can get them , not sure what is expensive as in wheels for ya , but I got wantanbee and ssr to give me dealers in the us where I was told by about everyone in the states I deal with that they could not be gotten, kinda pricey yes roughly 300-450 a wheel but new and nobody on your block will have them, it helps to take the time to figure out what all is printed in japanse on their site, good luck Jeff:geek:

Carb damping oil? Flow guide valve ?
I have been told that 20w castrol if best for the carbs or fork oil , If you are talking about the float lines from the carbs to the air cleaner , it won't affect how it runs it just dumps the extra fuel from the carbs <if any is there> to the air cleaner, if we are talking about the same line. and if you put too much in the carbs its ok if you raise the piston inside the carb it will get rid of the excess and just get burned in the engine <as I was told on ye olde ztherapy video > , good luck:geek:
