Been taking advantage of the decent weather recently - nearly up to 900 miles now! It was almost becoming my daily driver at the beginning of the week:
I've carried on tweaking tyre pressures and damper settings and feel that I am getting somewhere close. The more I get used to it the brisker I am driving it and it still feels quite sorted. It is only when you let the lunatic loose in you does it feel like it still needs a little fettling. I will be going back to GD at some point for Andy to finish off setting it up.
Last weekend I had a shock.... spotted a small oil leak on the drive!!!! Turned out it was the NPT fitting on the underside of the Accusump. Nipped it up and it seemed OK, this has however set me back a bit in the paranoia stakes.
I've been on a few trips but keep forgetting to take my camera.... something I promise to rectify.
I also changed the metering rods in the carb to make it one step richer on the cruise circuit (4%). This made a reasonable improvement to the below 1500rpm running. Dead easy to do, air cleaner off undo the screw in each of the covers, pull out the pistons and rods, change the rods and put it all back together:
Here's the Edelbrock Video.... shows you exactly how easy it is:
Plenty of people keep mistaking the gel coat finish for paint:
Had a dabble with Photoshop, and now I have a new desktop background:
Looks like rain the weekend..... maybe I should get round to fitting the stoneguards??
