1. Under my seats are these white plastic electrically wired discs (not
working) that appear to be pressure sensitive triggered --- WHAT are these?
Have yet to see them in any manual...
Seatbelt interlock, or something like that. The US government's idea of
safety, to tell you to put on your seatbelt
2. Any suggestions as to how to steady a rattling/knocking exhaust pipe ?
Knocks hard when hot behind the pedals and rattles durectly under the
drivers seat.
Pep boys universal hanger, mounted at the rear of the engine bay, seems like
there is a bolt around there, or just ahead of the rear wheel arch, and make
sure the connection from the exhaust pipe to the manifold is tight. New
motor mounts may also help, as well as some creative bending of the pipe where
it hits.
3. When ridden hot I can open the the vents in the floor boards (cook my
ankles) stick my fingers in said vents and remove rusty black sludge. The
hotter the wetter. This is creeping black death, isn't it?
Close the vents, keep your fingers out of where you can not see.
4. Between the carbs and the crankcase, every so often I'l get a lound
TANGING noise. Thought for the longest that it was a fan blade just grazing
something every so often when vibrating wildly. No, such luck. AND it seems
to be coming from the base of the carb bells / head gasket area.
No earthly idea...piston slap?
O.K. I could go on for some time with these but I'll cease pressing my luck
and venture one more...
5. Just how much emissions gear (if no emssions testing is required) can I
get by taking off. From the loos of things I got a few things from other
models hooked up unnecessarily and my emissions cant get much worse.
I live in NM where none is requied and everything has been removed. If you
take it off, save it somewhere, along with a diagram of where it was.
