I just bought a 1982 Honda Cb900f with 11k miles for a hundred bucks. I figured I could make the money back and then some just selling it for scrap. But on the other hand the guy claimed it only had a leaky carb, and that it still ran great.
So he threw in a maintenance manual, good-as-new replacement body panels, two extra carb assemblies, plus the carb assembly already on the bike. I know I came out ahead.
But here's the thing; I've always wanted to get into motorcycling, and this bike only cost a hundred bucks, and came with a crapload of replacement parts. So I went to start it dry, no fuel and with the carb laying around, just to see if it'd turn over. It makes this whacky crackling sound from a cylinder next to the battery.
So my question is; where can I learn how to reassemble/fix the carb. What's the crackling sound. And would it help to see a picture of the cyclinder making the sound?

I was in New York city 2 weekends ago visiting friends and parked my car in an overnight garage (it cost $50.00). When I got my car the next day, I noticed that it was scraped on the side, not major, but definitely obvious that the car was hit by the guy that parks the cars. The guy refused to admit that he did it, was really being very tricky about the whole thing and refused to sign a written statement as he refused to admit anything. He only said that the car was "probably" hit in his garage. Well, I just received a letter from the garage company, and they said that they have spoken to the car attendant, he denied doing it, so it must have happened before I got there. This is a complete lie!!

What can I do? I mean, it is my word vs. another guys. My brother was there and witnessed the guy saying it "probably" happened in the garage. Any advice?

ok, i am getting my license in a few months, and I have started looking into cars. The truth is that I have no idea in what I should get. I see that all of my friends seem to have trucks, which is great, however I have always been more interested in sports cars. A old camero, mustang, Nissan Z, etc. I know that my parents are gonna spend around 4 grand on it, and I know that I'm not going to get a real nice hot rod. But I want something that is as cool as I can get for the money. I have also taken gas mileage, insurance and all these other things into consideration. I have yet to find a car that fits all of these qualities. I want to make a responsible decision that will make my parents proud, and that will satisfy my need for speed. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

I had a bit of a shock today when I took my 1998 Cutlass in to have the water pump changed. I expected to pay for parts (around 30.00), labor (50 per hour) and coolant. I did not expect to be charged an extra $12.00 per item (totaling 24.00) because the power steering and the air conditioner (as listed separately on the bill) made the job difficult. Is this a new thing? I pay a total labor charge of $66.00 and then I pay even more because the job is challenging?

As I already said, I live in Canada, but I have heard it is cheaper to fly to the US, buy a car there and drive it back. But I am wondering what I have to do to bring it back to Canada? Do I have to pay taxes or registration at the border or what?

Do you drive a car in the category that I am looking in, and would you buy it again? What do you like about your car, and what problems do you have with your car? I am not asking if you have a car for sale, so please don't try to sell me one here, I am only looking for recommendations for a good car in the category I am looking in. Thanks in advance for your answers....

i am a driver in the armed forces and frequently drive the old bedford 4 ton trucks over long distances, i get a severe pain in my neck whilst and for a period of time after driving due to no head rests or back rests, this made me think is it legal? if i crashed or got rear ended at speed i would surely suffer spinal injury?

Looking into buying some of these ebay coilovers that are real cheap. I know a lot of you will dog on these but they're just to get me by until I get money for a real decent setup. Just don't know if there's any welding involved for these or if its just a quick and dirty slap in. Reason I'm getting these at all is because I just bought this car and the previous owner cut off too much on the OEM springs, making my back wheels bow inwards too much. As a result the front tires almost hit the inside fenderwell when making turns. Just need something a little more decent than cut off springs at this point. Has anybody installed these ebay coilovers on their car?? Was it easy? Are they somewhat decent?? Thanks

Ok I drive my moms 1994 toyota camry and the radio sucks! Once you turn it on it is nothing but loud crackling. I was wondering if all that would change if I bought a new radio deck from best buy. I'm just afraid that once I attach the new one it will have the same crackling noise.

Ok so today I was driving while it was raining, I have a 01 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, As I reached 60 on the freeway my car starts to pull one side to the other. I niticed this last time it was raining so it's not the first time this happened. My car shakes normaly due to two motor mounts that are broken. I also have different tires on the car which is my first clue. I have two mitchelin in front and two yokohama on the back from which one is more worned out that the other. I also think my shocks are in bad shape since the the ride keeps getting worse over time.

I am from New Mexico and I need to know where I can start buying parts for a Harley. I dont have the money to buy one off the lot, so I decided to bulid my own. My dad and his buddys have been on me for a while to start putting one together, (thats how most of them got started back in the day) and I dont know where to find used parts,or even a non running bike to work with? everywhere I look all I can find is S&S, or some high dollar shiny crap, or new Harley parts. is there a type of swap meet on line or something. twice a year around here there is a bike week that you can buy stuff but I want to start looking now. Thanks for any advise. Im sick of staying home, or being the tail vehicle during runs.

okay so i'm putting a new stereo, amp and speakers in my boat and i know i need everything to be marine grade but how many watts is really loud, i'm thinking about 600watts and its MAX is 1500W. i'm thinkin going with this set up:

SUB: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270176412143&rd=1

4 Speakers: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270176545419&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180170463151&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008

I'd like to know if these speakers are good for what i'm looking for.

I'm wondering if a can just put a non-marine AMP in the boat if its covered up?

I already have the stereo its a sony and only rated for 52w X 4 but that doesnt matter if i buy an amp right?

thanks

I am car shopping, and would like to hear your experiences with this car, do you like it? Why? Do you have any problems with it? Do you think it's reliable? Would you buy it again? Thank you for your answers in advance..........
