Best DIY evarrrrrr.

i would never recomend seafoam to anyone or use again. It messed up my carbs and cost me a month of riding. covered the inside with a white toothpaste crap that pluged all the holes in the carbs.

Did you follow these video instructions first? or did you do it a different method...?

Step 3 should solve your problems

did you follow the car instructions?

mkulchar · August 3rd, 2012, 12:14 PM

i just went to the site and used the steps for "Cleaning Fuel Injectors or Carburetor Jets "

To clean fuel injectors and carburetor jets, add 1 oz. Sea Foam to each gallon of fuel. It will slowly clean varnish and deposits as you drive.

Performance improvements may include:
•Smoother idle
•Restored power and pickup
•Reduction of hesitations

You should either follow Jiggles instructions or the instructions to clean the F-18 engine with seafoam - either should fix your past issues.

She's so pretty

Some people give me **** because I got the one with a rail so its not a "REAL" 1911. But the added light/laser and glow in the dark sights will be very helpful if I ever need it.

Super awesome gun. I got the .22 conversion kit too so I could work on my trigger squeeze. Loads of fun, it's like the difference between a ninja 250 and zx10r lmfao

practicing with .22s/250s sharpens skills and creates experts.
every shooter should own a 22, and every rider should own a 250, imo.

i can't help but notice you covered the checkering on the front strap.
do you dislike the way it feels?

Oh yeah, the original grips would iritate my hands after 1/2 hour of shooting. The grips were also checkered like that. So I found this nice grip that covered it all up and it was much more comfortable to shoot for longer periods of time

Nice, and when the zombie apocalypse comes, you'll have no problem finding ammo, since .22 is the most common/abundant.

I have literally thousands and thousands of .22s haha. They are so cheap it's crazy, meanwhile 45s are $.50 each of you don't reload

yea, the factory 20lpi checkering can be rough.
i was fortunate to have bought one with 25lpi, the grip is great and it not so hard on your hands.

Nice, I was looking at the TLE but finally ended up getting a stainless Sig Sauer. Not a huge fan of the squared off profile bit for a factory trigger it is super smooth.

Nice DIY Sean, now I will have to borrow my old mans .45 for step 3.
