Well some projects go better than others
If it there was a way to get delayed I ran into it (still not done!) So here's where I'm at.
Got the open air in, but to do this had to bypass alot of smog,vacuum and rebreather lines. Once done I had a little miss and an occasinal shut down at idle
In the heat it was acting like vaperlock and well It was(I think) As i went over things again I noticed the gas cap has no hole tapped through the top. So a little hole to let it breath and no more problem
(wonder how it breathed to begin with ?)
Finally got a chance to take this thing for a ride. One wrong turn and the next thing I know i'm on I-5 south bound out of portland (My first unplanned freeway trip)For those that don't know this is a stretch of road with no exits for nearly 8 miles and a 6% uphill grade woo hoo! Well It pulled the whole thing at an indicated 60mph didn't have much more to give but I was impressed and a little frightened,not the place i wanted to test right off
Turned around and came back down hill and noticed it was still topping out to early,so back to the drawing board. A little more jetting and some more holes in the exhaust and bingo!
Last test ride it was pushing 130klph rouphly 80mph indicated in the flats, It was a little doggy getting to that speed after the 55mph mark, so while chasing some other parts I found a malossi multivater kit for it
It has just showed up and they neglected to tell me the roller width and hight were going to change
so only have the set it showed up with 11.5g I was running a set of dr pully 16g's
Anyway has an improved ramp angle and a larger diamater drive boss and the white spring,so I think i'm close to being done with this one, some more weights and I got a line on a longer belt. I might be able to put the cover back on soon. Maybe one more round of jetting. Ha! allready wondering it they have a drive face for this set
Cheers!!!
