Facts
  Gottlieb Daimler (1834-1900) is credited with building the first gas powered motorcycle in 1885. The wooden bike was powered by a single-cylinder 264cc Otto-cycle engine with a power output 0.5hp. Daimler’s son Paul became the "first motorcyclist" on November 10, 1885, when he rode his father’s invention for nearly 10 km at a top speed of around 7mph.

I have a 1982 Harley Davidson fls 1000 cc. I changed the plugs and wires on the bike and I am getting a good spark on both cylinders- the front cylinder stopped working a couple of days ago and is only running on the rear cylinder. Coil is good and ...new carb, new plugs and I sprayed ether through the collar and it still didn't fire. Could it be the push rod??? It has done this to me a couple of time and like I said, I did different things to get it to fire back up but this time it won't do anything.. (new carb, wires, new points and condenser, plugs, ether blown in etc)

Any suggestions????

Ken

I have recently bought a Chinese 125cc called a Haotian vixen125. When I look underneath it I see there are 2 tubes that don't lead anywhere they're just hollow tubes that look out of place. My last Chinese bike was a 50cc Yiying and I remember seeing the same thing with that. Is this a problem or not?

I have a drgstar 650 the exhaust bolt has snapped into the head on dismantling. I can see the previous owner has had this problem before and not done a very good repair so I want it welding so I can drill and tap it back to normal. Is the head alloy and can I weld it with a mig or does it need tig welding? I have done a bit of welding on cars and have a mig welder but never done any alloy welding before, if anyone can help?

I have an 1986 1100 Virago that is back firing. When I unplug the rear sparkplug it stops and the bike sounds OK running on 1 cylinder, but when I plug it back in it sounds rough. Could it be the coil and wire for the rear sparkplug or do you think that its the cdi? I have no problems with the front plug
