YICS Tool Rental?

Does anyone have a YICS tool (Yam or Repro) they would be willing to rent out?
I am about to do my carbs and I need the tool for the synch.
The repros will probably not be available in time, so I thought I'd ask.
I will pay shipping both ways, plus whatever rental fee is appropriate.

Please let me know.

Thanks 8)

 

This guy is getting ready to take orders and ship the yics tool in about 2 weeks. He just posted this on another list. He is making the parts now.
$36.00 plus shipping.

Get your order in early

 

I've already sent in my order, but may not be able to wait that long.
Always been an impatient......

Thanks for the link.

 

It will probably be hard to get someone to turn loose of there tool. Even to rent it. Unless you have someone close by that will help you out.

 

Uhh...sorry sno, it says the search string is empty?

 

Here's the one I made. a little different in materials than the one Robert posted but made from the same specs.
I used some old push rods I had laying around for the spacers, but fuel line is a good idea Robert, I didn't think of that.

These are the specs. that Robert submitted

Excellent!

I feel a home made tool adventure coming on!

I love making tools, you should see the pilot adjusting tool I made for my VF 750c.

Why Honda had to use pilot screws with a "D" drive I'll never know.

Thanks for the diagram, I think I even have most of the materials already.

I wonder if coarse thread rod would work as well, or is there need for fine adjustment?

 

Thread pitch is not an issue.

 

I like yours better than mine Rich, neater in appearance and a cushy handle to boot! Well done! I also like the tubing you used, neat finish. What did you use? I would have put a wing nut on the front of your washer stack so you don't have to monkey with a wrench to put the bugger in. Just a thought for next time.

 

I used some old push rods I had laying around out of a cat motor.
I didn't have a wing nut on hand when I slapped this together, I'll add one later.

 

I'm sorry, I was asking about the red squishy stuff. Silicone? Push rods are medium grade steel aren't they? I used steel fuel line to make it easier to cut. I am now thinking I should have used brass to prevent any nicking by inserting steel into the aluminum head. Haven't had any problems but you can't be too careful. The original diagram (it's in the archives, way in the back) that I used suggested copper but it was too blooming soft. I'm happy any way you look at it, I didn't have to shell out $100+ for the ruddy thing on e-bay. Local bike shops here don't even have the tool, and only one fellow had even heard of it. Yikes! Glad I wrench, I know I can count on myself to do the best job possible.

 

Yes it's silicone hose, I tried fuel hose the first time and it didn't hold up to the heat to good. I haven't tried this hose yet. Might have to get a better grade silicone. I'll let you know soon.

 

I'm still gathering the materials to build mine (having trouble finding the tubing!), but I've got to add that handle, Rich!!

 

Like Robert suggested , get some steel fuel line.

 

Just looking over the diagram again, the 3/8 fuel line is 3/8 OD correct?
Just wanted to clear this up as fuel line is sold as ID.

 

Yes OD you don't want to use fuel line though, it did not hold up to the heat when I tried it. Better off to find a heat resistant silicone hose.
You want it to be snug, but still be able to push the tool in all the way.

 

Seca 400 YICS Tool?

Hello all:

Does anyone know if the YICS system on a Seca 400 is similar to taht on the fours?

I just bought an '82 model and am currently getting her ready to go. Was planning on checking the valves and synching the carbs, but hadn't thought about YICS being an issue!

Thanks-
HH

 

Welcome HH:
I really can't help much with your question, sorry.
I'm not familar with the 400 seca, and I don't see anything about it on the xjcd either.
Do you know for sure that it is a yics motor. And did you say a 2 cyl.?
I've never heard anyone speak of a yics tool for a 2 cyl. but that doesn't mean that one isn't needed.
I'll try and see if I can find something.
Post some pics in the gallery.
Someone will probably be here shortly with just the right info you need .
Good luck
