after doing a bit of carb surgery and trying out a few different timing positions,,,,,,

it fired.

timed it, did the 20 minute routine, and did a rough sync on the carbs, and it really smoothed out. engine sounds really good, healthy. a couple of the pipes started to get really hot (barely glowing in the dark) -- that concerns me a little... it didn't sound lean, but maybe i need to work out the mixture some more.

Awesome.
I'll start downloading the viddy now and report back later.

Yes, it does feel good when it fires off that first time.
Good for you.

Excellent Nathan! Sounds like 125 ponies to me.

Head temp gage would be good. Or at least engine temp.

Congrats!

C'mon...Leave him alone

Nathan knows what I know... and thats near every top 914 at the a/x, if not TTOD does it with carbs roaring ALL THE WAY.

I'm just a caveman

i built it. mostly on the back porch, but also on the front porch, and sometimes in the kitchen.

i live with guys.

Posted by: fiid Apr 12 2005, 12:36 PM

Dude - that sounds really great.

Did you ever get a resolution with the stanford folks?

Posted by: nebreitling Apr 12 2005, 01:24 PM

thanks guys. there is NO WAY i could have done it w/ out this board -- particularly the handy 'search' function.

dps is off my back, for now. officer snowden and i had a very stern conversation a couple days ago. seems to be okay, he wished me 'good luck', whatever that's worth.

Posted by: Eric Taylor Apr 12 2005, 05:41 PM

Sounds cool nathan! I wish I could work on my car here, but the dorms don't really allow for to much motor building.
