Bucket bits wanted & services needed

Good call, I've had a tank go BANG rather than pop, after being puged (not well enough!).
Very, very scary and really dangerous.

What is the correct procedure for purging anyway, apart from just draining it of course?

You can use your car exhaust fumes - run a hose into tank and run car engine. CO2 helps reduce combustability of the fuel vapours

That's a question probably best left unanswered nowadays. Places like NZR or the big petrochem outfits used to have procedures for cutting and welding fuel tanks, now they simply ban the practice altogether. Used to involve water flushing and maintaining as much water in the tank as possible during the work. Think they used meths or similar to absorb and dump a lot of the fuel lurking in corners first.

I did all that, once, on a bike tank and still found I could light the gas column venting from the filler hole. I figured if it stayed lit I'd be all good to continue. I got away with it then, but I think nowadays I've got as sissified as those big outfits, I'd find another way.

Both the above statements cover it.

It went wrong for us when we tried water, CO2 seems the better bet.
Avoiding it altogether is the best option!

I have had a couple go pop F*#@!K !!!
Now I flush with a hose for an hour or two
Warm with a car exhaust for an hour or two
Then purge with argon at 5 liters per hour while welding
I have welded hydrogen , entonox and biogas lines which are less scary
Good luck

Don't use anything to cut, that creates a spark. A dril, tin snips, and a multitool are all ya need to cut a hole. Welding it back up...Fuck that. Solder for the win!

We used a cold chisel on my one. Reduces the chances yet again, of course there's still the odd spark so still needs purging properly.

Anyway at the moment my interest is the CVT system. The front pulley is upside down because it sits on the table better that way.

HI. I am looking for some GY6 125/150 4T CVT parts for a Bucket racing project. I need the shafts that the front and rear CVT sheaves run on.

A would like to buy a ruined GY6 125/150 crank and good rear gearbox input shaft, I need just the shafts themselves. I would also look at a GY6 125/150 bottom end or complete wrecked engine to get the parts I need.



A picture frome trademe, I have no idea what this is but its those two shafts from a GY6 125/150 that I am after.

Please PM me if you can help.

Has anyone got a shock for a FXR they want to sell? The top mount broke off mine and was to shagged to fix.

Kamil has mine on loan, he may lend you his if you need it.

Did you get a chance to see crazyman's rear fully adjustable dnm shock conversion at round one of the north island's.

He has it sorted now with very limited modifications required. I'll try and get him to post up a photo or pm for further details (we might have a spare standard sitting around looking for a new home).

[crazy man]

l do have a standard one as well if you want it
