Cool

Ok, so if I bypass the two wires, then worst case scenario is the fuel pump will run too much but the regulator will dump the fuel back into the tank. Just can't permanently bypass it because the pump will be working too much.

Haha nice, does that have the same 200 as this?

I kind of figured, but I wasn't sure if that could cause anything bad to happen. Literally all I know about ballast resistors was from a quick search and I know they limit the voltage to the ignition coil, idk how or why.

How do I check it? Nothing seems obviously wrong with it.

I just recently put a new valve cover gasket on, and a new belt. The new belt let me discover that my fan clutch is stuck on. But the main issue that randomly arose is the engine firing for a second, then immediately turning back off. I have since then found out that if it happens, and I wait 2-3 minutes, it will start and run normally but after 2 minutes of idle, or driving it will shut off and repeat the same issue. I replaced the fuel filter, that didn’t fix it. And I also fid and oil change including the oil filter (not expected to fix it but it’s something that I needed to do anyways) My best guess is that the fuel pump is too weak, or the fuel pressure regulator has gone bad. I got a friends fuel pressure gauge to test the pump, but haven’t used it yet. I can’t prove it, but i swear the fuel pump sounds quieter than usual. If the fuel pressure gauge proves the pump to be good, what’s a way I could test the regulator, remove the vacuum line? Or are there any other things I should check.

That’s a good point

Found a picture of the PW80, not much of the bike is in frame but you can still see the resemblance to the BW if you’ve never seen one before.

Just recently picked up an old big wheel. Figured this would make a pretty nice pit bike, especially after a few basics mods like un-choking the motor, lifting the suspension and bars, and lowering the gearing. The last owners already deleted the oil reservoir that mixes the gas for you, so I don’t have to do that. It’s actually pretty neat to me since it’s practically just a PW80 with bigger tires, and I first started racing on a PW80 when I was about 6 or 7. Adding pictures soon if I can figure out how do to it from my phone.

This ought to be good

Nice

Sweet, can't wait for the pics.

Ok perfect. And just to clarify they are the old style 84-96 right?

I just put a newer brake booster on my 89 and it had a smaller hole so I had to drill it out to fit the brake pedal and switch stuff thru it. Just like this one It was finicky and up or down would make brakes permanently on. You just have to find the center point, then like Big Dan said put electrical tape or something in it. I think I put electrical tape on mine.

Ok. Are they manual or cable. Also I don't care too much about the condition as long as the metal case ain't cracked in half or something dumb.

What kind?

Aftermarket as in old style.

Like I said, I rly just can't find any at a JY, I'm about to buy aftermarket ones or get the newer style and hope it doesn't look too off. Are the aftermarket really that bad?

Yeah I have considered getting newer ones before but I just like the old style so much more.

And as for car-part, the cheapest one I can find is $55, for one mirror.

Yeah probably. At salvage yards, if one has any at all, theres only one and the frame pivot points are busted.

Ok

Ok, but with that being said, is there anywhere that makes them good still, because I just can't find any at a salvage yard.

Half the reason I'm making sure that they will go on right is because it mentions needing self-tapping screws for it. I was looking at the Various MFR ones but now they only have a right one.

So I'm basically making observations and asking if I'm right. It looks to me like my truck came with the big chrome tow mirrors at some point, because you can see the top set of holes lined up with the window frame. And the PO mounted random mirrors in front of them on the door skin(the broken plastic). I've looked forever and just can't find any good mirrors from a junkyard, so if I just buy some manual ones from rockauto(I don't care about having the joystick on the inside), they should just bolt on and I keep the little triangle cover pieces that are on the inside, correct?
