Drive-ability today. I was looking at the spring plates. We talked about notching them. I can’t see any marks from them bottoming out on the stops. It seemed to ride decent when I drove it. I’m going hold-off on the notches until I drive it again.

I was kind of thinking I’d like it a little lower in the back…is that possible? I love the way your red car sits…You’re probably going to say thats too low? lol

Yeah, that is too low for a good driver. My red car drives like garbage…and wearing itself out with every mile.

I did my normal rounds on the engine, then went over and tidy’d up a few things.

• nut-zert on the coil
• re-routed a few wires and took off any plastic collars on connections
• swapped faulty electronic ignition for points
• increased idle jet to 55
• measure/marked true TDC
• adjusted advance base line and limit to 11-29 degrees
• hooked-up and adjusted choke
• removed the pre-heat flap from the air cleaner

Welded the spring brace back to the skin and touched up with some anthracite paint.

 

Wow this thing has never run this clean, Justin is so stoked! Maybe now I can get a ride.
