  • Does anyone know....

    Where I can get a little Mercury? I was given a Motion Pro carb sync set and it is missing a little of the mercury. As it is now I can only use two channels at once or it will have air between the bars. I just need about half a shot glass to fill it up. Help. Can't-afford-ya has outlawed it and motion pro can't ship it here.

      Chemical and sometimes medical supply houses can get it. In a worse case scenario and depending on how much you need .. get your hands on some old furnace thermostats and recover it from the bulb / bulbs.

      Where did the stuff your missing go?

        Motion Pro..

        Randy, Motion Pro lists the stuff as discontinued as I thought about having someone receive it and mail it to me.

              I tried to buy mercury some time back and it was listed but discontinued. Back in elementary school in the stone age our science teacher had a quart container of mercury that he would let us play with. We could stick our hands in it and pour it out and roll it around. That was before it was considered dangerous. I even remember some kid putting some in his mouth and spitting it out on the table. Other than growing a few extra toes and hair growing on the bottom of my feet I dont think it hurt us.

                    Ordered some from CYCLE-RE-CYCLE PART II last night. $22 with shipping. One of the tubes in my sticks broke off at the lower end so now its a little shorter than the rest but it should still work ok right?

                        Ordered

                        I ordered from CRC as Randy suggested. We'll see if it's for real.

                          I heard not to long ago that one of those top secret Uboats near the end of WW2 was sunk with 6 to 10 tons of mercury on board and its still down there off Norway or the English channel! Not suggesting you buy a scuba suit or anything like that...
