Haha I don’t think so. We have the breather on order. Hopefully that’ll fix her leaky motor

Alright people, I know you must’ve missed me and my amazing baywindow so much. But good news. Cole and I installed the breather today!! Y’all are going to be seeing me putting ALL AROUND NOW. You’re welcome. Never forget, baywindows are the shit.

Nice job. Fingers crossed. Almost certain that was the issue. Did you plug the hole on the fan shroud?

[ColeB]

#17066

Not yet. Should I plug it or put a mini air filter on it?

[Franz]

#17067

Plug it.

Is Emilee still all fired up on BAY Window’s…..  😎  Harassing her could be enough reason to drive over to SLC… 😎

I think we’ve narrowed it down to an exhaust leak now. The number one cylinder wasn’t firing so we changed the spark plug and blew out the idle jet and checked the points and did the timing. It seemed to drive well up to salt lake but still had a weird puttering noise. Decided it must be an exhaust leak somewhere in the mystery cherry bomb home creation of an exhaust that I have… super happy it’s not leaking as much oil(fingers crossed, hopefully that continues) and happy it is driving well! Next, gotta figure out that exhaust leak…

I retightened everything from the heads and out. Sounds better, but still has an odd putter to it…. I might just be going crazy from trying to listen to this thing so much…. Might not even know what is up anymore. I’ll need to get some more ears on it before I’m sure haha. But I think Emilee is going to save up for an empi stainless exhaust either way. And it is also finally running well! Im sure it could use a bit more here or there but she will only know when she drives it more

Did you take all 4 of the idle jets out? Blow air through the jet passages.

[ColeB]

#17254

Ya, I pulled them all out and blew them out
