Post Ford Power Valves

Glad to know someone else still remembers endless hot starting problems.....

To - day we put the new, current license tabs on the rear plate so we're pretty much good to go I think.....

I think I fixed the intake vacuum leak troubling my 1970 Honda CT90k2 that I'm hoping to take to Death Valley in this truck, the AutoClutch is still not releasing properly but I'll not give up on it just yet ~ I have three clutches and my trusty electronic calipers to help measure the various & sundry bits in there, I'll cherry pick the best and see if I can assemble one good working clutch .

Some guy in TEXAS sold me a box full of parts for $50, it has a supposed 'known good' clutch in the box, I installed it and it released O.K. but slipped so badly when it got hot, I couldn't kick start the engine ~ taking it to bit revealed totally worn out bits inside, ~ the steel driven plates were not only worn with gouges in them but two of them were DEEP BLUE from years of riding it slipping.... .

The rest of the stuff in the box was well worth the $50 but I'd hoped to be done with this by now .
