Pissed

Put a new carburettor in, it leaks gas from one of the butterfly spindle things. So pissed. Leaking gas all over. Won't run. New carb is a piece of poop.

new carb


Started putting the new carb in last thursday, but rain and thunder stopped all of it, got it in this am. Hope it's in right, had to change most of the linkage around. Off to get a new battery and maybe even go out for a ride!!!!!!!!!!!

more trouble


Went out for a spin last night, made it about half a mile when black smoke and sparks and back fires started shooting out the tail pipe. Sad. New carb coming soon. Hopefully that solves some problems.

New lamps, lost the rope



The rope, though cool looking was a bit foolish, so I took it off.
Put on some driving/fog lamps, cause with the headlights in the center, at night to front corners are in the shadows. Not too safe. Ordered the protective grids to keep them from getting smashed.
Still have an electrical issue. I installed a battery kill switch as a temp fix, but can not seem to figure out what the real problem is. Alternator? Starter? I don't know. Every time I look into it I end up pulling out wires that don't do anything. Lots of extra wires.
New carb should be coming tomorrow. After that and the wiring, taking a look at the laking gas tank.
Wallace wants to go for a ride, but he's too mental, would jump out the side.

Every where I take it people love it. Good good.
