  1. An ex Kawasaki motocross mechanic said they would use Dawn straight out of the bottle & let it sit. Because that made it hard to get into some areas I mix Dawn with denatured alcohol in a garden sprayer, spray liberally, & let it sit overnight. Next to try is straight Pine-Sol - heard it works wonders too.
  2. OK - Will have to wait after a trip to Santa Fe tomorrow TX! Steve
  3. Cleared the codes but not sure of any tests. I do have a Durametric and have tried to diagnose real-time but hard to capture the event. Here's the scenario: Start the engine - throttle won't increase RPMs; backfires occasionally; put in gear and gently engage clutch (otherwise it dies); roll/coast down long driveway; sit at end of driveway trying to coax RPMs up; once that happens a couple times (maybe 3K) head onto street where it will barely move for about the 1st 1/4 mile. Performance gradually picks up and becomes "normal" once up to temp (little above 180). All the time no CEL. Drive for 1/2 hour or so or more on highway after 5 min of neighborhood streets and shut off. Leave for 10-15 minutes, get back on highway, CEL comes on after about 5 minutes, no typical situation (E.g. accel, decel). Same codes ( P0102, 1126, 1128, 1130, 1133, 1276 in various combinations but always with 0102). I'm thinking that the too-tight hose is a known problem and should be fixed before proceeding. Have seen the smoke test somewhere before and it looks daunting (I've done the IMS bearing and both rear hub bearings so not a mechanical newbie). Thanks, Loren!

  5. Pretty sure mine is hosed: had to really stretch it to fit a couple years ago and now the engine acts like it might have an intake leak (P0102, 1126, 1128, 1130, 1133, 1276). Changed all O2 sensors & MAF. No noticeable change. It has low power upon starting, won't increase RPMs, and backfires. After it warms up it's OK. Couldn't figure out how to search this forum (newbie error)... TX, Steve
