My car ramps kept sliding on my garage floor. The solution was some rubber drawer liber underneath to provide grip.

Changing the cabin air filter on my 2006 Mustang. Works for 2005 to 2009 models.

Synced the carbs, adjusted the intake and exhaust valves. Engine starts easier and idles very smoothly. No ticking or strange noises from the valves, and yet the stuttering is still present when you start to rev up the engine. Last ditch effort is to add some metht hydrate (methanol) to the gas. It's purported to clear out varnish deposits in the carb's small passages. Fingers crossed.

After cleaning and adding some new parts to the carbs it's time to synchronize them. A bit of a fiddly job, the adjustment screw on the left carb is not easy to access. But making incremental, small adjustments got the job done.

I made up a simple carb sync tool from two mason jars, some tubing, epoxy, and a short length of 5 mm brake line. When I tried to use it though the carbs were rough and I ended up pulling them for a rebuild.

Honda CB450SC Fork oil change Pt2

Fork oil change. Once I got the old stuff out it was pretty bad. I think it's the original 39 year old oil. One note, I loosened the fork top pinch bolt, but didn't need to.

My 18 year old niece Cherry took part in rehearsing a traditional Philippine dance from the city of Baguio by the native Igorot people. It's called Tadek and she and her classmates are in a competition for the Bagnet (cicharron) festival. She's the smallest of the girls who are all dressed in traditional alops. I'm really impressed that these young folks are keeping their traditions alive.
