Moving to Albuquerque next weekend.
Most of our stuff is already there courtesy of the USAF, so mostly just have to move my garage and a little furniture. 2 914s, a bunch of parts, motorcycle, lawnmower, tools, etc. Bolted the engine/tranny back together for my spare/non-running 914 today and bolted it in to make the move easier. Biggest drawback to the new place is I'll have half the garage space I currently enjoy, and they do not allow working on cars on the property. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The spare teener, parts, lawn equipment, and a bunch of other crap will have to go into a storage unit for a couple years...(anyone want a slightly rusty disassembled '74?) Any teeners, p-car guys, notable shops, etc. out that way? |

Fired up the car today and took it around the block...finally. For some reason the old (not very old) battery had died and was testing as bad, so I ordered a new Odyssey. I wanted one of those anyway. Then I noticed that my carb linkage has loose. The nut that attaches the crossbar to the carb was gone. Just gone. Replaced that.
It definitely needs some carb adjustment. Difficult to start, and definitely down on power. Finished the drive and tried to restart it in the garage and it wouldn't. Sounded like it wanted to, but couldn't get it to fire up again. Driving it again was fun. People looked and waved. I got a little sideways leaving the neighborhood. I'm sure people will love me. |
