Here are some more information for Alcohol Carburetor Carb:
Sometimes when I am out driving I notice small signs that say "Pay Attention: Motorcycles are out there too" (or something to that effect). It seems odd at first that people would go out of their way to draw attention to motorcycles, but once you start to hear some statistics about motorcycle accidents it becomes more obvious. Motorcyclists are at a distinct risk of injury and even death every time they go out onto the road.
Why Are Motorcyclists at Enhanced Risk?
At first glance it may seem like motorcycles are safer on the road because they have the ability to maneuver quickly and have enhanced agility over cars. Unfortunately, despite that added mobility, vehicular drivers are statistically more likely to completely overlook motorcycles and cause serious accidents. Even with their heads on a swivel, motorcyclists are at an increased risk or collision.
Another problem cyclists face is the road itself. Gravel, potholes and other such variables are nothing more than a nuisance to vehicular drivers, but can cause instability and outright crashes for motorcycles.
The light weight, two wheel design, and speed of the motorcycle naturally increases the disruption caused by even small road inconsistencies. A surprisingly large amount of motorcycle accidents involve no other vehicles, and are even more frequent when alcohol is involved.
Some Statistics
For purely informational purposes, here are some statistics regarding accidents:
* There were 4,778 people killed in motorcycle accidents in 2006
* In 2007, 28 percent of motorcyclists who died had blood alcohol levels of.08 g/DL or higher
* In 2/3 of motorcycle accidents with other vehicles, the driver of the other vehicle violated the motorcycle rider's right of way and subsequently caused the accident
* Motorcyclists are about 26 times more likely to die in a crash than someone riding in a passenger car, and are 5 times as likely to be injured
A Look at Injuries
Fender benders happen thousands of times every day, but we don't think much of it. The reason why is because the injuries involved are minor to none. However, when it comes to motorcycles, even a slow speed loss of control can result in bruises, road burns, and broken bones.
Motorcyclists are constantly encouraged to where leathers and helmets at all times because history has shown that the probability of injury is extremely high. During collisions, broken bones and lacerations are almost a minimum of what can be expected. Without proper head protection, severe trauma is a distinct possibility.
Legal Rights
As mentioned above, almost 2/3 of motorcycle accidents are instigated by error on the part of a vehicular driver. With that probability in mind, it is critical for cyclists to be aware of their legal rights.
We all remember going through driver's school in order to get our licenses, but those programs hardly entail all of the subtleties that go into driving law. In order to properly deal with the opposing party, the insurance companies, and the medical community for injuries, it is imperative to get in contact with a local lawyer who specializes in these concerns. You must find someone who will understand the chaotic times that come from these injuries and can help you get your life back in proper working order.

Favorite Motorcycle Tech Tips
Electrical
- High-pressure car washes can force water into the plugs, wires and electrical connector plugs. The water in these connectors can change resistance values and will cause poor performance and misfiring even when everything appears to be dry.
- When working with electrical components and wiring connections, always use dielectric grease in the connectors to prevent moisture and corrosion from building up.
- When troubleshooting electrical issues, always start with a battery that you know is good. If you suspect the battery is the issue, have it charged and load-tested before beginning diagnosis.
- When installing additional electrical components to stock wiring harnesses on any motorcycle, make sure you use heat shrink tubing and inline fuses on the power leads and wherever connections are made. The idea is to waterproof them as much as possible.
Maintenance
- Always check the oil when the bike is in the position outlined in the manual.
- The first tool out of the toolbox should be your manual.
- Check your tire pressure when the tires are cold.
- When changing the motor oil and using a spin-on filter, always coat the rubber seal with fresh oil.
- When installing the derby O-ring on pre-2000 model Big Twins, sometimes it's difficult to get it to seat properly and hold long enough to install the cover. Use a thin layer of grease on the O-ring and you'll find the primary surface holds it in place as well as adds a little extra seal to the derby cover.
Exhaust
- Spraying ceramic-heat paint or high-temperature paint inside newexhaust pipes before bolting them onto the bike may prevent discoloration on drag pipes that don't have a heat shield option.
- After installing exhaust pipes, make sure you clean them before running the bike. Fingerprints and oil can burn discolored spots in the exhaust.
- Boot and rain suit material can easily be removed from exhaust heat shields using Easy Off oven cleaner. Just heat the pipes up to operating temperature and apply the Easy Off. The material will wipe right off! But be sure to cover up anything that's painted because this product gobbles up paint, too,
Carbs/Fuel
- Before trying to re-jet your carburetor, you should make sure that your timing is set properly and — if you have a mechanical advance — make sure it's not worn out. A worn-out advance unit will allow your timing to advance too far and show up as a lean condition on a perfectly jetted carburetor.
- When experiencing starting issues, make sure there's gas in the tank.
Engines
- The most common cause of pushrod cover leaks is the pushrod rubbing the inside of the pushrod cover. One way that you can avoid this is to chamfer the inside edge of the top tube at the middle and at the top.
- Adjust valves (as needed) with the engine dead cold.
Brakes
- If you're having trouble bleeding your brake or hydraulic clutch line, slowly pull the lever in and let it flick back out. Keep doing this for a few minutes. Eventually this will draw air up to the master cylinder and you'll start to see bubbles coming up out of the cylinder.
- If you install all-new brake lines and you're bleeding the system, make sure to bleed the fittings that connect the line to the master cylinder and the caliper.
Oil Tanks
- Never use a silicone sealant when installing oil pump gaskets. Silicone can clog oil passages in your engine, causing costly damage. A good coat of aluminum-based paint or a copper spray sealant can give good results on paper or Mylar gaskets.
Driveline
- Sprockets are usually only good for the life of two chains, then it's best to replace both sprockets and chain at one time. Worn out sprockets will ruin a new chain in no time.
Wheels
- It's a good idea to service front and rear wheel ball bearings every spring or every 5,000 miles, whichever comes first. Keep the pressure washer away from the bearings.
Handlebar Controls
- Lubricate the throttle sleeve and housing with a light coating of graphite.
- To remove handgrips, use a long thin ice pick or screwdriver. Slip it lengthwise between the grip and bar or the throttle sleeve as far in it will go. Spray WD 40 or contact cleaner in the cavity created. With a twisting motion, remove the grip. If that didn't work, repeat the procedure.
- For maximum life of throttle cables, lubricate every 5,000 miles. Lubricate the cable with light oil or cable lube and lubricate the elbow with grease.
Frames
- When installing shorter shocks, first check the tire fender clearance. In order to do this, install one shock with the spring removed and compress the shock. You must have at least a 1-inch clearance from the top of the tire to the fender to allow for the growth at higher speeds. With shocks removed, check the swing arm bearings.
Forks
- When replacing fork seals, always put a piece of wax paper over the end of fork tubes before sliding the new fork seals on. This will protect the new seal lip.
Windshields
- Never clean acrylic screens with ammonia-based cleaning products or glass cleaner. The solvent action of the glass cleaner will destroy the acrylic. Do not allow brake fluid, alcohol or strong solvents to come in contact with the screen. Permanent damage will result.
Parts Installation
- When installing parts and accessories, always be sure to read the instructions and verify that all parts are included prior to disassembly of the motorcycle.
- Stay organized — when taking a part off, keep it in order of removal, including bolts, washers and nuts. That's so when you install the new part, all you have to do is follow the trail of parts. It also helps to keep tools organized. Only keep the tools you will use in your work area.

Can I still smoke weed out of a pipe that doesn't have a carburetor?
I keep finding GORGEOUS pipes online, but the majority don't have a carburetor. Is it still okay to smoke marijuana out of one that doesn't have a carb? How will it affect my smoking? At all?
I don't want to here people give me sh*t about smoking weed, you are wasting your breath. Or in this case finger energy. LOL
And I know this question isn't alcohol related, but there isn't really any where else to put it.
All a carb does is give you that rush of air intake like a bong. It's totally unnecessary. If anything it's releasing too much concentrated and uncooled smoke into your lungs at once. Get a nice carved old fashioned wooden bowl with a nice long stem that will cool the smoke as it enters your lungs. They work fine, carb pipes are just "in" now.
And don't worry, all the pot questions end up here.
