An old trick for easily flattening out the upper transfers and also squaring the corners is to use a couple stacked dremel type abrasive cutoff wheels on a straight handpiece. Doesn't get you in very deep but it's a good starting point and then when switching to the aggressive burrs lets you...

$140 complete glock compatible slide (half price)...

Hey Sondre, Yeah been quite a while, seems covid killed off the northeast gtg's and they just never came back. It'll be the Nocturne F you'll be looking at. As much as I liked the ergo's on the C, there's always something on any gun that gets me. My trigger finger is a bit screwed up and...

Just be aware that the P09 C Nocturne is the compact version equivalent in size to the P07. I have one and really like it, the different grip texture/layout for me was a good improvement over the P07.

I regard to my concern about jetting... Someone put it to me in a perspective that made it all click, I was looking at it like it was being choked... Duh... If the restrictor was in front of the carb then yes, choked but installed after the carb it's effectively the same as a partially opened...

Nah, it's only a 25% gain, to deserve an XS sticker it would need to be 40%...;) Could be a good business opportunity for someone with a small engine shop, 25% gain "porting" for ten minutes of work.

My only concern with removing it was how it would then affect the a/f mixture but according to the IPL's both the 1650 and 2100 share the same carb and main jet. Motor sounds good and no sign of running lean. Apparently a lot of mopeds/scooters suffer from this as an easy way for manufacturers...

Well sho' 'nuf... That was too easy, would've saved me a bunch of time if I just did this to begin with...

If there is, it's not shown in the IPL, all the intake gaskets have matching part #'s on each motor. I'd like to think if it's an intake restrictor plate it would use different jets at least... These motors are current production and have been around for 10+ years, I'd have to figure plenty of...

Both use the same coil module and electric start components. Has an alternator for dc power, the two flywheel options could be for the different stators, though there are optional part #'s for four different stators, figuring that depends on output for options like lighting and power chute...

Carb is the same part # on the IPL's so this seems unlikely.

The older ones are 328cc (or 342?) and the newer is 420cc, mine is for sure 420. I've poured over IPL's and can't seem to find the 'missing link', other than the flywheel. Head, crank, gaskets, piston, valves, cam, carb, jets, muffler, coil, all the same part #'s. Would that much difference in...

Picked up a deal on a very clean Simplicity 1728 that's powered by the 420cc '1650' Briggs, which I've read is more or less the same as the '2100' as used in the 2128 model but the output is restricted somehow (1650/2100 refers to the 16.5/21.0 torque ratings). I saw reference to this on a...

Not sure if matching the color is a priority but 330 I think can be yellow, the 3450, 3750 and 3500 are other models that would work but also come in green and occasionally orange.

Some friends used to have a big cookout every fall and they happened to have a big sandpit on the property with a good sized flat oval the kids would rip up with the atv's. Well the 'theme' of the day was some very informal run-what-ya-brung 'tractor' racing. Not many rules, had to look somewhat...
