I was going to do a quick repair to the floorboards on the family ski boat last night then come out to Rich's today. The reason the floor was soft was that the front half of both stringers were rotten!

I worked last night until 11:00 and today from 7:00 am until 9:30 pm. I'm totally drained! Cutting, ripping, glueing, sawing, fiberglass, carpet, etc., etc.

I would have much rather done some teener work.

My wife told me we would celebrate my birthday this weekend. Fun Birthday celebration! Still can't get the polester resin off my arms!

I hope I can get the teener ready for WCC06.

Wish I was there!

Dang Jeff, sorry I didn't get to meet you. Missed you by THAT much. And I was so looking forward to tapping into your vast experience on the TIV. After all, the 4 is superior to the 6, right? (Just going on hearsay of course.)

Oh well, next time.

Posted by: Eddie914 Jun 25 2006, 12:20 AM

Jeff,

How about tomorrow?

harsh, hmmm....Rich was expecting maybe upto 14 guys to drop by but 4 now is a low turnout for locals.

Posted by: rdauenhauer Jun 25 2006, 08:54 PM

Eh! It happens, only regret is we didnt have enough time / people to
run for the misc. part. necessary.
I went to 5 flaps today NONE carried all the tune up parts I was looking for.
Bought a timing light
Upgraded the Dizzy with a Ignitor
Got the sucka running and idleing somewhat.

Ive got a good feeling Ill be driving it to Portland

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 25 2006, 10:12 PM

Yeah Rich, thats why I was people off for not showing up.

Lots to do including making a dash for parts. We were doing some interesting stuff too...how many guys take apart, tune MPs's and play with LM-1 meters? plus get to eat and drink alot?



Let me or Blair know when its ready.....

I figure I be working on it this eve.

gotta PU some new wires today.

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 26 2006, 07:03 AM

Ok, it should run ok now after you cure the missing. Recheck the plug wires for the firing order and that they are run right. 1-4-3-2 as that is the first thing to always fix.

Posted by: Root_Werks Jun 26 2006, 07:46 AM

Guilty as charged. I suck.

Sorry guys, you remember that black 914-6 I drove in Tuesday? Well, I spent the weekend working on that. As much as I LOVE that car, I need to see it go bye-bye. I have too much I would like to do for the summer. I got the car all squared away, so my weekend was productive.

Posted by: DNHunt Jun 26 2006, 08:18 AM

Let's see. I dropped the engine, tore it down to the case, installed new Nickies with KB's (Thanks Charles and Jake), reassemble and am ready to reinstall. Oh ya, I plumbed for a cooler too. I would have loved to make it up there but, I ran out of time.

Not kidding! Chasing the same old blowby and oil consumption problems. Thankfully Jake and Charles stepped up. I should have it in the car Wednesday for shaking down and tuning. I still expect to make WCC.

Good God, you are getting so good and dropping and rebuilding motors, you should quit your day job and go into business!

Missed ya at Rich's. We couldve used the help!

Posted by: DNHunt Jun 26 2006, 12:02 PM
