OK, just finished my brakes up. They still need some fine tuning and prob another bleed but they work just as they did before, just without all the rust and holes and stuff.
Been having some issues with the car starting lately. Finally decided to pull the plugs out and see what was goin on. The left 2 cyl i pulled and seemed to not be in too good a shape. The motor is basically just brand new and im having issues with it already. Im not happy about this at all. Cleaned up the 2 plugs i pulled and put them back in. Started to fire a bit more and was able to get it started, finally, after about 15 min more of cranking the thing. Drove it around to help it out, and just as i got back in front of my house the car died :mad: Got it in the driveway and checked the oil to make sure it had enough. It did. The only thing i can figure is that the motor isnt completely tuned right and it is allowing too much fuel to get in and kill my plugs causing the car to die and hard starts, even on warm days like today. Looks like i gotta call Powertech tomorrow... |

I'm in for Sunday. sounds good to me. need to change h.e"s, jury rig some sort of cable for the flapper boxes and have rear shocks we can shove in if we want. why did the """""'s work this time? Rear shocks are uncharted waters. The heat sounds like a good project. The shocks need you to be able to lay the car up b/c sometimes extra parts need to be ordered. |

[/quote] no layups if we re not sure we stick to the h.e's. think about how to rig up the cable on the fly. one side is already attached one is about 6 inches short. story of my life. |

Got a little project I want to do maybe in a month or so if you guys want to help me. I am deathly afraid of doing wiring.
But after seeing this I started putting the parts together. Got a nice Speedometer thats brand new and I am trying to get this kick ass tach. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?show...sor++cv++speedo |

i can help with wiring aswell.
called Powertech about the car, they said to check my coil for 12V first. The plugs werent wet when i pulled them, but i think that the coil is prob fine. Maybe a loose wire or something goin on there. |

Bring it down. The tie rods can be done no problem. Do you have a tie rod end remover or forks? Also what kind of ignition system and coil are you running?

sounds great Leo!
i dont know what i did with my pickle fork. Been looking for it and i think the mechanic fairy took it from me. As far as ignition system, im not really sure, haha. I think its an 009. I just did a lil checking over on some stuff that i could do by myself. Took off the covers for the carbs and checked to see if the thing was spitting fuel. Nope. Fuel pump was running pretty loud. Checked the tank, nothing. Bone dry. All that with the gauge saying that i still have about 1/4 tank. Hopefully once i put some gas in the car the thing will want to start pretty easily and be running ok enough for me to get it down there on Sunday. _billy |
