@schu – Checked the hose above the valve, it’s flowing just fine.

@edsnova – The wire thingie is still attached to the carb so that’s not the problem.  Fooled around with the carb setting before posting this and that didn’t work either.

@gregj – I’ll try blowing the idle jet out if it doesn’t involve having to dismantle the carb.  Not go…[Read more]

@schu – I don’t think that’s the problem.  The fuel line below the tank is new and the car was working fine after I installed the shut off valve.  I will run that test tonight or tomorrow to make sure but I don’t think that’s the problem.  I’ll let you know what comes up.

@royal – That’s possible.  I did replace the old hose with new hoses and…[Read more]

Here’s a map with the complete route for next Saturday’s cruise.  http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/1264290082.  Charlene and I just got back from doing a final run on the route and it was perfect day for it.

The total loop is 82.86 miles.  Photo stops, the breakfast stop at the Goose Creek Grill and the lunch stop at the Whip Tavern are mar…[Read more]

@schu – You and Lois should come on Friday and spend the night, it would be much easier considering the distances.  I’ll send you and email later or tomorrow morning.

@schu – Looks like @edsnova can make it on the 17th, are you in?  Anyone else?

@billnparts – The problem that I have is that the when the top is folded down, it doesn’t tuck into the space behind the seats, it hangs over the back of the car by about six inches.  It seems to me that your top doesn’t do that (I think the same is true of @edsnova‘s and @schu‘s).  What I’m really wondering is if I have to go with something c…[Read more]

@schu the 17th has a forecast moderate risk of rain.  If you all are willing to take that risk, that works for me.  The 10th has a high risk so I don’t think that would be a good bet.  @edsnova What do you think?

@edsnova So far I got you and @schu.  If schu can do an August date that would be best because we would have three cars.  I hope anyone else out there who is interested pipes in so we can get a run together.  If it turns out to be just you two guys that are interested, we don’t mind doing two runs.  It just sounds like more fun with at least a small group.

@edsnova I picked Labor Day weekend forgetting about Lime Rock and relying on the long range weather forecast.  If that date doesn’t work for you or @schu I’m happy to change it.  The two weekends following (Sept 10 and 17) there is a chance of rain (in the 63% to 53% range.)  The weekend of the 24th shows a clear forecast.  Another (I think eve…[Read more]

Here’s a possible plan to see if we have any takers.

Date – either Saturday, 03 Sept, or Sunday, 04 Sept.  This is labor day weekend which will allow a buffer for travel and the long range forecast for those days shows good temperatures and low chances of rain. The dates are not set in stone, they are just a proposal, so if anyone has a s…[Read more]
