Carb loading

One of the things that Squid gained in her travels is another bank of carbs.

Skyler (the latest owner before I finally bought it back) had discovered that one of the carbs had the slow jet snapped off inside the body. So he sourced a new set, I just need to rebuild them.

Not much to this, just take the old ones out and put the new ones in.

One thing that I discovered about the Super Sport kit that I think is pretty cool are these little individual filters on each valve.

And something that I found the I don't like is that you have to take the entire slide mechanism apart to adjust the needle. I stopped here so that I could run to B&A Industrial supply for new stainless allen bolts.

because if I have to take this thing apart each time I want to adjust the needle the phillips aren't going to cut it.

Back together with all new brass

You'll just have to trust me on that. I popped them on and I've got a runner, for the first time in probably a decade!

Too hot to work outside

Most of this thread has covered the last few months of work (from whatever the date on that CL ad is to now). What follows in this post was mostly yesterday or the day before.

I love my wife!! :)

This makes me smile... I love gears :)

I've got a friend that owns a sign shop who just started doing powder, so I'm going to get all this stuff ready for him and drop it off at his shop. If I don't rush him and don't abuse the deal sometimes he'll do my stuff for free.

I'm planning on having all that done in magnesium-ish gold. Not orignial I know, but I like it and that's what counts.
