Why is my 1997 Yamaha 600 sx reving to 4K and not liking to run when I lay on the throttle
Op here, it will bog when I put on throttle, then at 2k I rev it and it seems to bypass whatever is limiting the revs. It got to 8k no problem running
>>14142031
clean your carb please
>>14142075
Just did. When I got it, didn't run, clean carb, runs but revs at 4K
Anybody ever get hassled for driving around sporting historical plates?
Why would you?
>>14142080
You're not supposed to use them for "regular transportation". Here in Ohio when looking up the fees I found they're only to be driven to and from functions and to perform maintenance and repairs.
I'm guessing that pretty much anything could technically full under those categories and I've never heard of anybody ever having a problem but I thought maybe I'd ask.
>>14142103
I doubt law enforcement is going to care enough to waste their time and hassle you over it

What's the point of having automatic door locks? The only reason I can see having them is so that black people can hear all of my doors lock with me in the car as they walk by.
My friend had her purse snatched from her as a passenger. She was just sitting there at a light in the city with it on her lap, and the guy opened the door, snatched it, and ran. I like the fact it locks when you start driving and stays locked, but I always make sure my doors are locked because I live in north philly

What do?
>pic somewhat related
>>14141847
You do carry a set of basic tools, right? Use a knife to cut your clothing to fashion a ghetto gasket and hope it lasts
Call a tow truck?
Hopefully we still have about a gallon of water.
fill 'er up
remove hood with tools
turn heater to max
make it to gasstation before she blows

M8 if they have dashcams you're fucked
At the very least they'll cite you for whatever your state's law is equivalent to "unsafe car/load"
cars with no RPM gauge
does it make shifting more difficult?
>>14141692
If you're retarded it might
only the first week
>>14141692
No. But it makes finding redline fun!
Also try no tach on a carbed engine (no limiter)
Dearest /o/, how in the flying fuck does this happen? I went for inspection today and just.. Wtf
>>14141656
You failed m8. Get over it
It would appear you are idling a little rich
Lean out at whatever RPM they test low idle at?
Assuming you have that ability

So I went to change the oil in a old truck and this brown goo came out. It's all the way up the dip stick and at the oil cap and around a few hoses. How do I get rid of it?
>>14141519
Forgot to mention water is coming out with it also
Most likely blown gasket.
>>14141564
How hard of a fix is that?

How many whorespower does it make?

>4 valve reliefs on 2 valve engine
I'm about to do the same with my small block. Does the number of valve reliefs really matter?
>>14141592
I would like to think a little above 400 but it's not that big a deal to me
>>14141647
I think it's just for compression. It's what the shortblock had when we bought it
Does your auto maker offer free brand name candies?
There used to be a brand of ecstasy here in Aus' called "red Mitsubishi".

Safest car on the road. Incapable of hitting anything.
>>14141359

>>14142816
Of course.
/o/, I can't decide between getting a Volvo XC90 or a Nissan Skyline R34. They're both AWD, about the same price, and have literally the exact same tail lights.
Which should I get?
This is becoming a meme now.
