Re: 3rd time- Carb problems!

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! OK get this. Last Sunday got all ready to ride and the Wildcat wouldn't start. (Took the Chief so the day wasn't a loss)) I felt sure the accelerator pump had failed, as it had once before and I knew the motor was starving for fuel. A new pump was received today from Jegs. Upon dis...

Re: Boss Hoss company for sale??

Well……………my intention is NOT to ignite another shit storm or hijack this thread. Im not familiar with unfulfilled claims of others. Im sure there is some truth to what people say. (but not the whole story as seen from BOTH sides) Some people are over zealous and will stretch the truth or make claims...

Re: Boss Hoss company for sale??

I don't get the whole Nesco tranny problem. Why can't BH just use the "Fong-O-Matic"?? Made right in my home town too!! :toofunny:

Re: Boss Hoss company for sale??

As many of you know I don't ride a BH but do appreciate them for the well engineered piece of equipment they are. I wonder if market saturation has anything to do with the sale. Folks that own a BH probably keep them for awhile. How many V-8 owners / potential owners exist out there??? We all know h...

Re: 3rd time- Carb problems!

Not to trying to Insult you but sometimes the obvious gets overlooked ... Did you swap out all the fuel lines for new? I prefer using the Fuel line designed for Fuel Injection as it is typically much better quality for nominally more money. Rubber "powder" flaking off the casing can cause...

Re: 3rd time- Carb problems!

Hey Butkicker. When I got this bike the tank was desert dry. Loaded with rust from sitting dry / empty so long. I did a major internal cleaning then Creem coated it. What a pain in the ass that was! Before being back on the road I installed a very good chrome automotive fuel filter. Not 1 speck of a...

Re: 3rd time- Carb problems!

OK, I have used "Seafoam" in the past but never put a bike on a 3-6 tank program. Ill try that, it sounds like a good idea. I also like the idea sending the carb to carb Mike in Erie, but Id be heartbroken not having that big scoot for that long! Perhaps over the winter. Hey Carl, I agree ...

3rd time- Carb problems!

This has me bummed out! All of a sudden in the middle of a ride my Wildcat starts to sputter and run rough. Under acceleration, no problem and the 302 runs fine. The first time this happened was right after I paid for a professional to rebuild the carb. (he's good and I trust him) Now, its the third...

Re: Neat Garage Floor Idea

At the risk of sounding argumentative...Carl, That doesn't sound like "bare" concrete to me!! :catfight: :iagree: The floor in my garage has had LOTS of motor oil and gear oil spilled and cleaned off. (I leave the dripped blood as a memento) That dudes floor is way cool but something that...

Re: New member

Good to "see" ya here Carl. Things seem a bit looser here. Kind of weird at the other site. It seems here you can say "fuck, shit piss, and corruption. :banmeplease: Anyway, I hear you about the actual quantity of Wildcats out there. Even with the problems Ive had with mine the ride i...

Hello to all. Ive been riding a Sabertooth "Wildcat" for around 3 years. I love it! I can't help but wonder if any other members on this forum are riding Wildcats. I know there aren't many of them out there. I hope this pic uploads properly!
