Carburetor, Intake, and Exhaust / Re: Pingel petcock

« on: August 27, 2026, 04:43:35 PM »

I don't see any advantage to that.

I will mention, I put a Pingel on my Banshee many many years ago. The boss that the in-tank filters connect to, sit up higher than the bottom of the tank, which doesn't allow all the gas to exit. Meaning I lost some of my reserve. Some gas was in to tank but couldn't get over the boss.

Not sure if the hondas are different.

When they were PRM, I ordered a Summit, but had them leave off the top bracing. Looked a bit more like a Duncan.

Interesting. What are the options for spindles and steering?

I definitely prefer the look of the Hinson style.

Jig for drilling universal? Yamaha and Honda? Looks well made. Props.

Engine and Bottom End / Re: Coolant Leak - ESR E2 363 PV Cylinder

Interesting. I don't think the sleeve cuts into the water jacket. Can you see the crack in the water jacket? Not sure if you can clean it and get epoxy in there. Would be best to try and epoxy the crack from both sides. Good luck with the race.

The crack in the picture doesn't look like it would be the culprit. Looks like it goes from the exhaust port the the secondary a exhaust ports. You could bolt the head on and plug one of the coolant elbows. Then pressurize through the other coolant elbow and see if you can locate the leak easier.

Suspension and Chassis / Re: LAEGER Stainless Tie Rods with Carbon Steel Tie Rod Ends - Service Bulletin

So glad you didn't get hurt. Consider yourself lucky or blessed. Breaking front end parts can end badly even at slower speeds. A 350lb wheeler pile driving you into the earth rarely ends without injury.

Might be worth checking into different materials for the rods and/or ends. Possible to get the ends chrome or nickel plated?

Engine and Bottom End / Re: O - Ring Size for Hinson Clutch cover ?

« on: December 10, 2025, 04:17:21 PM »

Should be able to measure the ID of the case groove with a tape measure. If you have calipers, I would measure the depth of the groove. Target an oring cross section ~0.5mm larger. A good website to use is McMaster Carr. With ID and cross section you should be able to find a standard size that you can cross reference to your local hardware store.

Unfortunately I don't have a case readily available to measure.
