Driven later yesterday night before total darkness,after my last fine tune of the carbs finding the carbs spit back a little more than I like,however once the motor is up to temp all is fine.
Getting a bit of pop back from the exhaust on decel ,may drop main jets back a little,not sure .
Oil temp gauge went poo a while back,fitted another inset into gauge today,no result and then found some real issues from the PO...again don't want to go there.
Will test both gauges tomorrow,after tracing wiring s#itstorm.
Thinking about lowering the front 25mm or more,after insert replacement it is too high.
Could have done more ,really a average day .........

Good to know your car is now running!

That's more of an indication that there's an exhaust leak. You might check there first.

Installed the transmission in the race car affectionately named "Carerror" . It really nice to stand in the rear trunk and grab the tranny by the hornes to get that last 3/8th" and hear that wornderful sound of clunk.
She's going on a small diet, going to lose some wires and lights as she was street legal. All she needs to do now is get passed PCA tech.
I know that I need new seatbelts and a helmet.
Going to open a thread in The Paddock for her.
