i don't know if you followed my new motor saga/nightmare/10 month of misery, but today was a very special day!

IT RUNS

yepp, it runs. almost perfect. lot's-o-power. schweeeet! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)
i got so excited, i was trying to emulate the blue jumping smily, but brad told me to quit it ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

here's what we did in a nutshell:
turned dizzy driveshaft 180 deg (into it's normal position),
adjusted valves correctly (thanks jake and what's his face, the guy whos name i forgot),
replaced the ignition system with a MSD 6 system, coil, dizzy, box, wires etc.
ditched the 40 webers and put in a set of freshly rebuild 44 IDF webers.
started her up, tuned the carbs and i was ready to fly!

gawd that feels gud ...
i was losing faith. quickly. then i had a blast on my ~40 mile drive back home from the shop.
well, until i came up on a cop car on 880. didn't wanna pass him because i have expired tags.
no need to push my luck for the day ...

yeah! thank you brad sir! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)
