Steve,
I'm curious if you've replaced the front wheel bearings in a while and is the pseudo axle shaft you are using for this jig, the exact same diameter as a real axle shaft?

Bearings are recent. The shaft isn't the same size as the axle. The bearings spin freely.

Ok. I would think that if the shaft is a bit too much smaller, the geometry would be that the mass would be slightly below the center of rotation and make it a bit harder to balance using gravity.

As long as the bearing spins freely I doubt that would be an issue. When I change the tire I'll try it with the axle first to check my work. So far no hop.

Yeah maybe right. If the inner race is not moving, then the wheel is rotated around it any how.

I guess I'll have to use the smaller tire.

Jeff (Z1E) got me rethinking about how I was going about things. Most I already do but when it comes to carb sync, I'll have to try it his way. Thanks Jeff.
