Fixed my fuel sender last night so I can see how much fuel I have. I hope anyway. Had some challenges with that one.

Glad that you won’t be calculating gas use by miles driven by the odometer. No matter how accurate, when the red warning light comes on it is certainly time to get fuel. |

Got the engine tin sorted and installed. Should run cleaner and maybe cooler. Took close to three days to get the tin to fit. the shape of motor and engine bay are known quantities but the position of motor relative to the engine bay is harder to predict by measurements. Clutch adjustment tomorrow.

Clutch adjustment tomorrow. Let me know your technique for clutch adjustment. Mine is still hit or miss. Seems like it should be more measurable or repeatable. Maybe I am missing something. How did the factory do it? |
