    flooded car possible, need help!

    I hardly think that 12" of water splashing up under a Malibu would cause hydrolock, unless a 2003 Malibu has it's intake mounted extremely loooooooow. I can see splashing through 12" of water hurriedly would causing an electrical component to short out and kill the car. My guess is the key...

    Bill Clinton says . . .

    I think Hilbillary is telling the complete truth when she comes on camera and says she wants back in the Whitehouse. Gotta give her that one truth, don't we?

    Wobble

    Sounds like you got your head bearings a bit tighter than they were before, and now they are helping you forget about whatever is causing the wobble. Good job. Now go ride! Jordan

    Front Wheel Hop? R1 calipers and EBC HH.?

    Wheel "hop" is generally associated with a bad tire, wheras the pulsating braking would most likely be a warped rotor, or two. You could dismount the rotors, and retighten them, being sure there is nothing but smooth, flat surface on their mounting area.

    Wobble

    Change tires again - and add a professional spin balance job. My opinion is your problem will either go away completely, or it's characteristics will change slightly - due to differences in where your new tires are not completely perfect as compared to where your current tires aren't completely...

    Cold start, top of engine knocking/clanking but not on warm start?

    If hearing the fuel pump click for only 3 seconds when first turning on your key, and it doesn't do that seconds later when trying it again, go ride it and stop worrying! Seems normal to me.

    Fuel from needle jet at idle? WTH????

    Do you have the right needles in your carb seats? Are those needles' rubber tips in good shape & do they properly shut off the flow of fuel when the floats rise up to close the flow off - as evidenced by simply trying to blow into each carbs' inlet with it tipped upside down? Is, by chance...

    Wobble

    If you had a wobble at 111mph, then the cause of your wobble still exists. Perhaps you've bandaided it enough to suit yourself as far as controlling it though? Everyone has a different threshold as to what works for them. Me - I'd have to know what was really causing the wobble, and fix that...

    Cold start, top of engine knocking/clanking but not on warm start?

    All I can hear in your video is the fuel pump clicking non-stop. It will only click for so long each time the key is turned on, then it's relay will stop it from going further. Then you'd need to turn off the key, and turn it back on for the pump to continue trying to build pressure. If...

    Venison for lunch?

    This sucks, but if you'd been on your Vmax, wouldn't you have been solidly PAST that point in the street BEFORE that deer ever decided to cross it? Vmax = faster than the avg car? A little wax & elbow grease, and that door will be good as new. lol

    Cold start, top of engine knocking/clanking but not on warm start?

    Either your fuel pump, or your Vboost linkage has developed an issue since your spill. They would both be heard when first turning on your bike. The pump, only if it needs to build pressure. The Vboost cycles each time the key is turned on.

    Fuel from needle jet at idle? WTH????

    Coasting enrichener diaphragms in good, working order? Airbox rubbers firmly seated down onto all four carbs? Issues in both those areas could cause chuffing through the carbs. .........just throwing two more areas of thought out there. Also, I think you're putting way too much emphasis...

    MMA fighter Kimbo Slice dead

    I only watched Kimbo once - his first defeat - by Seth Petruzelli. The fight only lasted approx. 20 secs. I couldn't believe all the pre-fight hype about Kimbo's winning career, then to see him go down in under 20 secs.... R.I.P. Kimbo.

    OMG!!! That's all I can say

    I gotta make a trip home to change my underpants after just watching that on video. You know darn well the rider would have soiled that seat, but gooood.!
