    I suprised nobody has made an electronic fuel gauge and sender unit for older bikes.. youd just have to mske a fuel cap that screws in and stays there and then use capacitive sensor like harleys oem sender and then run two wires up out of the now semi permanent fuel cap so we can run power to it and have the readout around the edge of the insert for the fuel cap then simply have a smaller cap that screws out to fill up the tank with fuel... and with the sender unit being extendable you could have extendion pieces so we can make it longer or shorter for different tanks. I know myself and some others that would buy it even if it cost 300 or more bucks to not have to track miles or check the tank and instead just look st the fuel cap and see how many lights i have left even if its not perfeftly touching the bottom of the tank atleast it would allow me to update my older bikes

    • @billetproofdesigns5609
      @billetproofdesigns5609 11 місяців тому

      Good morning Goran. I'm assuming when you said 'blocks' you meant 'locks'. I'm not quite sure what style adjustable you are using, however I'll assume you're using the type that adjusts with a worm gear. If that's the case, you may have an inexpensive adjustable or it might not adjust because there is still some force on the work gear. The next time it locks up on you, tap the moveable jaw on something to relieve the pressure on the worm gear. Since the gear is so small that your trying to rotate, you don't have that much leverage, so any additional forces on that gear will make it tough to rotate. Good luck,

      If you are concerned with fuel flow, you can't go wrong with a Pingel or Golan fuel petcock. Both are top of the line and are fully rebuildable. They aren't cheap, however they are hands down the best. Both make high flow options, however I really don't know if you're going to need it with even the 1275 kit. As for the VOES, if you are going to an electronic ignition with electronic advance, plug the VOES and just get rid of that switch.

    • @billetproofdesigns5609
      @billetproofdesigns5609 2 роки тому

      Good day and thanks for the interest. That's the entire idea of a bushing. Would you rather replace the entire bracket or a $15 bushing. I think you are thinking about this a bit too hard. If the bracket is trapped when mounted the bushing takes very little abuse as there is virtually no movement between the axle and bushing. If you have a floating set up, the bushing will last for tens of thousands of miles before it needs to be replaced. Nothing is rotating between the spacer and bushing and the little movement that does occur is so minimal, it's almost negligible. Thanks for reaching out and hit us up if you have any more questions. Cheers!

      Great question. No, it's not necessary for the bike to run, however I wouldn't build a motorcycle without using some sort of valve to shut the fuel off when the bike isn't running. If you don't have a fuel shut-off valve, there is constant pressure on the needle and seat in the carburetor. There is a really good chance that the needle and seat could fail, thus overfilling the carb and creating a spill from the overflow on the carb, or, the fuel could go past the carb and into the engine eventually filling the case with fuel. Use a petcock or some sort of inline fuel valve on your build. And I haven't even gotten into RESERVE that's on many petcocks. This could save you from having to push your bike from running out of fuel.

    Thank you. Always wondered which was the 'right way round' and, much as I try, I don't always instantly get the physics of engineering. Explanations like these are really helpful- now I have a better conceptual understanding. Look forward to watching your other vids! Cheers from the UK

      Glad we could help explain. Makes a big difference in the field, especially with really tight fasteners.
