My boy and I will be watching that video tonight. No time before school. -
azzurros 1966 FIAT Duemilatrecento Familiare Discussione
igor replied to azzurro's topic in Project Discussion
Matching rust holes? Both are very styley cars imo. -
^VG's mysterious whatsits thread?
-
+1 for column shift and bench. Do you need a cert for changing from buckets to a bench?
-
That fuel consumption is horrendous. It's even worse than my mate's Triumph 3500.

What time did Will finally roll in? Was getting on a bit when he left 'clutha.

You'd be an Imperial Wizard of the highest order if you got it to run sweet with six non matching carbs.

Was seriously considering it. But I have a shortage of money and too many things I need to do before school camp in two weeks time. My boss is going and before Christmas we in the office here talked about me driving one of his cars up but we were all pretty full at the time so that isn't happening either.
-
Eww, it's a diseasel.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say number two is a bit dodgy. When you cleaned and re-gapped that plug how long did it run good for?
-
Lol at Barry Ave here too.

I thought the pink and white suited it. No-one wants to see your anus.

Lord Gruntfuttock's 1973 Honda Trail 90 (CT90)
igor replied to Lord Gruntfuttock's topic in Two Wheels
Should be sweet without indicators as pre '77. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. -
Didn't say it was sensible Bart, just an idea. Makes about as much sense as six motorcycle carbs.
-
What about triple SUs? Or even triple Webers like an E49 Charger has.
-
Wonder if my work mate's V8 XD has one. It was a Taxi Pack model with the alloy head 4.1 and still has the Alloy Head badges on the front guards. Should ask him one day.
-
Or should have had them but nobody bothered to do it.
-
This is very true.

Last rough calculation was 22mpg, got down to 14 mpg a couple of years ago towing a double horse float from 'clutha to Colac Bay and return. I've had 29 mpg on a long trip out of another one with throttle body injection and 4 speed automatic. Whangarei to Porirua 802 km on 78 litres. What's yours do? Work mate claims to get fairly consistent 25 mpg from XD sedan with 302 and auto.

Has not been overheated and the oil looks clean, not milky like when water gets in it.
-
Is probably due for fresh antifreeze. Has been a while.

Cleaned and re-gapped the spark plugs tonight. Healthy colour but those gaps were enormous. The book says 1-1.1mm, the gaps were all around 1.7mm. Blasted the air filter with compressed air resulting in all manner of filth coming out. Took it for a hurtle up the road and back, resisting the urge to lay some Os on my mate's gravel truck turn around, and now it runs heaps better right across the rev range.

Gotta love a clean sheet wof.

Was going to say it needs more high but having seen that pic it really doesn't. Looks about right to me.
