You gave the newbs a great link to use to stock up on their blinker fluid.

Don't get your hopes up. They have been sold out of blinker fluid for quite a while.

I even tried to contact them to ask if there was another shipment on the way, but got no reply.

Based on their lack of response, I'm not sure how much I would order from them.

Here is a burn't exhaust valve that the previous owner managed to do, Ted

now THAT is a burnt valve. If you're going to do it, go big or go home!

not to hijack but...

Don't forget your Kuhneutson Valve and muffler bearings, too.

These are just a couple of the fine products available at KaleCo Automotive.

I have been looking all over for adjustable powerbands, and flux capacitors.

Thanks for the link.

Didn't look like they carry rebuilt 530 drive chains though.

Damage like a split valve is most likely caused by an extreme lean condition, maybe in conjunction with maladjusted valves. Most likely from a vacuum leak or someone installing pods/header without rejetting the carbs. For some people ignorance is bliss regarding bike mods...until something like a burned valve occurs.

I also found that number 2 and 3 intake manifolds were shot (Rubber separated from aluminum) I replaced them that winter along with a new exhaust valve. The vacuum leak from the bad manifolds were probaly the cause for the split valve. The next winter I tore the top end down to replace the head gasket and found all the valves in good shape, Ted

The was such a thing as muffler bearings.

the short story involves Jack Roush engineering, a ford engineer, a V8 cut down to a V2, a rotary muffler made to split? up the pulses and a good friend of mine that was a machinist at Jack Roush Eng that built that rotary muffler.
