[@dukeoliver7587]

Craig: it doesn't have to go to a starter shop to switch that button. That five-sided section is literally the starter solenoid. All that button does is push directly on the solenoid plunger, bypassing the electromagnet that would usually thrust it forward. Stick the output shaft into a hole in your bench or simply open the jaws on a bench vise, letting the shaft extend while supporting the starter with that cover pointing straight up. That part is important until you know how those things Nippon Denso starters are built. Keeping it cap-up prevents you from loosing a ball bearing and one (possibly two) springs. Remove the screws from the corner of the cap, holding slight pressure to the cap (spring, remember?). Lift the cap and remove. Install the new cap. This is literally a three-minute panel swap. While you have the starter solenoid open, inspect the two contacts (the two weird-shaped copper contacts) for pitting and scarring; polish if necessary) and the contact disk mounted around the plunger (again, polish if necessary). The only failures for Nippon Denso starters are these contacts and eventually wearing out the brushes. Things are immortal. In fact, you could probably polish the armature and commutator in the "bad" one, slap in a new brush rack, and your grandkids will be passing it on to their own kids.

[@JamesRook]

Yup. These things have been around forever. If you're old school like me, there's even a little lever version for the solenoid on shovels. Or go really old old school and use a bent hacksaw blade.

[@martinmorales9569]

The third injector is likely for two reasons; 1. They used smaller injectors on the heads to get good drivability and fuel control and the third injector for additional fuel under boost. 2. Being pre supercharger it acts as an air cooling agent when injected into the roots/screws due to the absence of a cooler.

2 potential answers on the 3rd injector: The first and more likely IMO is that supercharger setup was meant to be added to an existing engine, and they were adding a provision for extra fuel with some sort of auxiliary fuel controller that was only controlling the 3rd injector and adding enough fuel to compensate for the additional air from the supercharger so they could have a somewhat plug and play system, although not optimal, that worked on basically anything that supercharger could bolt to. The second possible answer is that the further upstream injector is not only adding fuel but cooling the intake charge via evaporative cooling from the fuel being atomized further upstream, or possibly some combination of both.

The injector on the super charger. My guess from having built a couple supercharged projects. Engine runs normally on the injectors in the engine. The injector in the supercharger adds the needed extra fueling for conditions when the engine is getting boost. Probably regulated by a built in map sensor. Bolt on..... no tuning required to the engine fueling.

[@America_Countryhumans1]

I'm guessing Craig never had a vehicle with a hpfp

[@effynme]

This one here Craig. We use them with the jb4 tuner on my cars twin turbo platform.

[@volvo09]

I'm guessing that is the case too, especially if it's bolt on. Rather than tune and size the primary injectors, just leave the stock ones in and have a separate one for boost. Seeing how it's blowing black smoke they definitely didn't know how to tune it in the first place!

[@ACE-xr4jz]

I remember them saying they used nitromethane or sth like this. Even ethanol or methanol need extra injectors to compensate for energy density. Similar to a carbs powerjet

[@jonathanflatman]

Would a fuel injector on the superchrager also help cool the charge air and increase the charge density as the fuel evaporates? That might be an unintended consequential bonus rather that a primary design consideration

Absolutely love your banter and brings back memories of me and my dad working on street rods in Long branch New Jersey, back in the day. If you ever do get up that way Asbury Park has reopened “the Circuit“and I am sure your eyes would be popping out of your head with some of the bikes and rods that cruise Asbury Park. Blessings guys!

How did I not know about this fuel injector tool!! I have been saying for years something like this need to be made! Thank you Craig I would have never found out about it had you not shown it.

[@FastSS02]

Yeah, I'm going to have to find this one. They make expensive 4 or more injector cycle/clean systems but this one is pretty simple. I made a setup of my own to cycle the injector and spray cleaner but it's a pain to swap injectors and the cleaner spray tube wants to pop out of the rubber hose it's feeding into.

Grate episode the Segway to fishing app was so funny I now have plastic law chairs for stress relief at work as a motor mechanic good work

[@rogerwhiting9310]

This was a great video. Showing what works and what doesn't is real good video. Looking forward to dyno testing.

[@EzleRS]

This dude is actually amazing at working on bikes. Takes a whole next level of skill to work on a Frankenstein style bike. Awesome job Craig. You're brilliant.

The bigger always means bigger skit was pure magic, had literal flash backs to watching OCC!!

Perfect spoof of Paul senior

I don't know anything about that specific blower but roots style blowers build heat and need lubrication to stay cool which means they need fuel injected above them through either a carburetor or some sort of fuel injection system either mechanical or electrical injection. Screw blowers, do not create as much heat and therefore do not require fuel injected before them. Same with centricles superchargers not needing fuel to keep them cool. I have an 871 Roots blower on top of a 454 with electronic fuel injection on each cylinder. But I run two injectors above the 871 to keep it cool so it doesn't eat itself up. They inject minimal fuel just enough to keep my temperature just above ambient. When I run alcohol or e85, The blower will actually build ice at the bottom of it as the alcohol expands and cools the blower. I tend to dial back the injectors on top of the blower when that starts happening.

That ad transition & ad all together was so damn good it’s almost my favorite part! 🤣👍 Good show, good show.

[@AmericanThunder]

The Miss Geico turbine boats were incredible engineering and performing marvels, it's kind of sacrilegious to build a pos like that and have it tied to the Miss Geico name in any way. If the Miss Geico race team had built this bike, it would go 200+ mph, and not be a living room ornament.

Yea but is the Hayabusa fixed?

Sorry I misspoke. 2:30 I see she’s still in the air. 😊

Absolutely great show guys best new show i have found and watched for a long long time well done lads

[@soulsurfer6438]

Those bikes were built for show, but I definitely would love to see you get that back road worthy and running right.

[@InkedDnA_Moto]

I normally just skip over promo's but your humor has captivated me 0.0 It's also nice to see some deep dives and corrective work being taken on these old OCC bikes. Good stuff dudes!

[@Schlum99]

You brought me flash backs of troubleshooting the battery, cables and starter on my chopper while throwing sparks every time I grounded my wrench while connecting the positive terminal on the starter. I will say watching is so much more enjoyable than fighting with it in person. On the other hand there is no other feeling like hearing that big twin crank over when you get it all right!

[@sethmannie7745]

Great job with the little skits. I felt like I was 19 again 😂

[@nychillboy8724]

Wanted one of these custom so called "choppers" from OCC back in the day badly! So glad I never pulled the trigger. Can ride em, or give em away for that matter.... Loved the show though, especially the early years before the producers wreckedit.

[@dacapo82]

I know nothing about motorcycles, and this is one of my most favorite KZbin channels

[@JediCore]

and here I was, thinking that Craig has a patience of an angel and doesn't get frustrated at all. This means that GEICO bike is just that much frustrating that it made Craig angry.

[@TheDigitalThreat]

The way you jumped into the fishing ad was actually really good~ Normally I hate sponser bullshit, but that was done perfectly lol

[@destro513]

Trd Toyota Tacomas and 4runners have an extra injectior too by the super charger. Helps cool the charge and keep from learning out at high boost I think

[@joshkreiser3776]

Love the front wheel abs system

"Man, it'd be so awesome to work on one of those bikes. *raspberry*. " That killed me. Love the video!

What's remarkable is Paul Sr. was a-okay with bikes like this rolling -- literally -- out of his shop.

[@danrayha3756]

A pretty good friend of mine claimed that he was familiar with Paul Sr. before he was a TV star. My buddy was an old nomad, so I had no reason to doubt him. Never had a good word to say about Paul Sr. .

I loved the Bill Engvall dork fish joke reference in the fishing game segment "what's a corn dog doin' in the ocean?" 😂😂

[@Strick.410]

You mean Bill dance right lol? Engvall is a stand up comic

[@justinplaia1901]

@@Strick.410 No! During the ad for the fishing game he referred to the dork fish and the other guy was baiting his hook with a corn dog. The stand up comedian Bill Engvall does a bit about a dork fish and that to catch one you probably use corn dogs.
