QUOTE(snakemain @ Jul 13 2016, 02:48 PM)  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. Glad to hear! Did you adjust (re-jet) the carbs for the new altitude? |

I haven't had a chance to get that done yet. And all my tools are still in IL. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I actually drove by the Fat Squirrel on my loop yesterday. It's 3 miles away. Soon as my wife and I get a day off and away from the kids, we're gonna pop by in the teener for lunch and a beer.

There was a division between Fat Squirrel and Turtle Mountain a couple of years back. Turtle is home to the 914 guys. Squirrel is home to a couple of owners who are...

Just saw this post, The car is back in NM where I first bought it. if you look at the folder of receipts I gave you, you will see a few from a shop in Los Alamos, or Sante Fe (I forget) where the PO and PPO took it!
It sure looks a LOT better than when I bought it for $1700 in/around 2001! now it is probably worth at least 20-30 times that with all the work I didn't finish, your finishing the car, and the engine you put in. makes me sad! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) but glad that it has new life! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
