When your buddy tells you that the stock rod will be fine, maybe rethink that!

Here we go again! I am trying to change my ways.
I was asked
"Hi how fast would i go with 32lb springs,champion rocker,billet flywheel,flat top piston,310 cam,pushrods"

My answer
"I don't know, sorry. That is a question for Facebook"

response
"oh okay"...and a 26 mm carb is that good for all that?
its a nibbi racing one"

My answer
"I am sure you can do 100+ MPH with the proper gearing"

As many of you know, I do tech support for OMB Warehouse.
The last question of the day I got is this!
"how fast would I go with billet flywheel billet rod flat top piston 32lb spring champion rockers"
My answer?
"123 MPH if thrown from a plane!"

It has been a long week!

What is the torque spec for my Chinese Amazon special flywheel? I had it finger tight and heard it crack.
How tight in "uggah-duggahs" would this need to be to work?
Is it safe to run it like this?
There were no instructions with this and the seller won't take it back.
I am so confused!

MY ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASS REALLY PI**ES ME OFF

Did ya know?
The key on the crank for the flywheel is merely a reference point to install the flywheel?
The key does nothing to hold the flywheel in place. It is the mating of the taper on the crank and flywheel and the proper torque are what hold the flywheel in place.
Especially when using an advance key, the flywheel should be lapped to the crank and properly torqued or this can happen.
Did ya know?
You don't even need to use a key when the flywheel is properly installed? You just have to line up the keyways!

That is the GGG rant of the day...and Oh Boy! Do I have more!

I get way too many messages from too many sources to be able to handle everything. I get the bulk of my messages at OMB and respond to those as a first priority.

The Fox Campus is coming along nicely! The seat just got here from my Queen of Seats Karen Krause. As always, the perfect seat that looks awesome. I don’t trust my delicate backside to anyone else’s seat! Nice thick foam and quality vinyl. Karen never disappoints!

Hey Tom England
Here is the Fffffox Campus I am building. The old Gray Goat does get a little time to build my own bikes!
Still have a ways to go but she is getting there!
Briggs 5HP has a billet rod, 95-3 cam, and a Horstman angle plug head. She should ride quite nice.
Found some NOS Sebac shocks that are a bit too tall, but my fat a$$ will compress them down.
Seat base sent out to Karen Krause today for some comfy foam and vinyl!
