\nLet’s continue. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe’ll reuse the needle valve. This rubber type lasts quite a long time.
\nUnless the tank has severe rust or the gasoline gets stale, I don’t think you’d need to replace it very often.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nA little trick: putting a cap on it can prevent overflow to some degree.<\/p>\n

However, there are drawbacks. If it’s quite rusty, rust can accumulate here and cause a hard-to-diagnose problem\u2014fuel starvation symptoms at high speed.<\/p>\n

Well, as long as it’s not severely rusted, you should be fine.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThere’s only one synchronization screw, so there’s a limit to what we can do.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThis seemed to be the best setting.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nCompression check requested. Looks good, no issues.*4<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nHonda OEM grip heater installation requested. A bit of high-throttle modification.
\nThe winding diameter is different and the throttle stopper height varies, so be careful.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nIt’s a tight fit, but this is the only way. The throttle sleeve must always hit the stopper so the throttle closes fully.<\/p>\n

If the balance between throttle cable pull and return doesn’t work right, it won’t snap back with a “click!” and feels really awkward, so you need to be careful.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nDo label makers multiply as you get older? I’ve been thinking that for a long time.
\nDidn’t old guys used to have them stuck all over their scooters and helmets? Well, I’ve become middle-aged too.<\/p>\n

To snap the bracket in place, you need a pretty small square punch. Since we don’t have one, we’re using a cable tie as a retainer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI considered using a relay, but we’re tapping power from the handlebar switch side.
\nIt looks cleaner if you can run the power and ground as parallel as possible.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nOn the throttle side, the Honda switch orientation is different, so the wire ends up in this position.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe installed it without fuss.<\/p>\n

The battery is weak and charging now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
