If anyone has no time, it's me, I make time... I'm only home 8 days a month, in 2 4 day stretches currently... Working 10 on 4 off sucks.
I'm still surprised I have more travel in the front than my 11" travel shocks allowed... Guess I need to actually flex it out and measure, and I think I'm going to need a Forklift for that one...

I work 5 on two off. Out of the 5 days I work, 2 of them is from 1am-5pm, 2 more are 1am-5am, and 8am-5pm, and one "normal" day at 8-5.
SO I would be more than happy with10 on n 4 days off. That would be tons of time for me to tinker and wheel.

I really wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt but all those private messages I got saying "just deal with it, DAN's special" are making more sense every day. You truly are a dumb *** aren't you?

don't go blaming me.
you are very capable of making an idiot out of yourself on your own.
and besides, it ain't worth the effort for me to try to help you along.

Time for some more peechures...
Took the ugly POS racing, and discovered it still likes being a pain in the butt... LOL
I'm too cheap to buy the photographer's pictures, but, her logo isn't THAT big... LOL
Now for some video:
First run... I discovered that I have been running on 1psi fuel pressure for an unknown amount of time, probably years...
Atikokan 2011... First Run - YouTube
second run:
Atikokan 2011... Goodbye Clutch - YouTube
I was hoping to make it to intermission and have time to install a borrowed Holley Blue, but, the clutch pedal hung and I didn't notice... I still installed the holley pump, it helped, but, the clutch was already dead, and the girlfriend was busy picking up a door prize so she didn't get it on video... I shaved 7 seconds off of my time still with a very similar smoke show at the end of the pit... LOL
Not my video, and the sound is dead, but:

Right about the 4:50 mark
Trail ride tomorrow... New clutch, new alternator(130A 3G swap) new fuel pump, and a few other minor details... Hopefully there won't be too much breakage.

That 1psi was measured with the engine shut off and the e-pump running... Even at idle it was probably 0.
I did not expect that. The pump did act up on the last trail ride, but, until I actually put it under load I didn't know there was any real problem, it'd bounce off the rev limiter with no load/lots of wheel spin all day without issue.
