Yep, that’ll work. Pick your time and I’ll be there.

Mis-quoted (of course):  “Neighbors?  I don’t need no stinking neighbors.”…and Kall, I have for many years used an old 1/2 gal lawnmower fuel tank with a built in shut-off valve to test an engine suspected of having sat for a while.  Works great.  First drain the carb float bow. Disconnect the line from the fuel pump to the carburetor and plug…[Read more]

Since we are talking about fuel system cleaning, I saw a great tip on a website about evaluating tanks and motors which have been sitting a long time – divide and conquer. They built a temp fuel tank out of a 1 gallon can which can be hung near the engine compartment to fuel the carb directly. That way motor testing can proceed without the…[Read more]

Welcome aboard Harry. Glad to have you with our gang. (Hmm…does that mean Paul is Spanky?”) But I digress. You WILL enjoy your TDr ride. Not just the driving part but building/fixing and even us! 😆

Sometimes I see Roy’s comments and think, “man-o-man, Roy’s neighbors must love him.”

I really like that wheel, John.  I’m going to have to pick your brain about it because I would love to do something like that for my car.

Hi Bill, Charlene and I will be going this year and towing just to be safe.  We will be heading out on Thursday morning as well so maybe we could meet up at the Turkey Hill in Denver again if that works for you.  

You guys are the best. Will def first try cleaning the carb a bit, just because I already took it off and it looks fun. Then I’m going to add the second fuel filter because that’s just a cheap, bandaid solution to the tank because it doesn’t seem “that bad”… Then will debate cleaning vs buying a new one… I live up in Milwaukee so limited…[Read more]

Vicenc, will you be going this year? I’ll be heading out Thursday morning.

Anay, If you want to save yourself from building up your abs and biceps, buy a new tank.  They are not too expensive, but be careful to order the right one and you might have to have the fill neck cut and re-welded on.  Or, use Schu’s shaken but not stirred technique.  Put a piece of chain in the tank and shake away.  If you are fortunate eno…[Read more]

I cleaned mine by using some Kerosene and an old Chain. Dropped in the tank and shook it forever.Poured it all out and rinsed with more.Used a Jc Whitney product to coat the inside of the tank. Been using for 10 plus years.

After 2-1/2 years of ownership, I know nothing about my car EXCEPT that I did successfully install a RetroSound radio, speaker enclosures, and speakers, and I did get everything to work.  Having said that, I would NEVER in a million years recommend ANY of those products.  They are absolutely AWFUL.  The radio is the best of the bunch — it’s “o…[Read more]

Thanks, just bought the book!How do you clean the gas tank????? I have one fuel filter on but didn’t realize I should put a second one on… Will do!

Sounds good Ed.

I can get there on I-70 in about an hour-15. So, count me in.

I took a nice stereo out of Bridget for just that same reason.

For all you nubies in the group, the last few Banjo pictures are from the RICH members. They’re just sharing how the other half lives. I read their posts with Robin Leach’s voice in my head. Those wheels sure look Good!
