A Little More Work Done
Created on 2009-11-06 05:04:35
I got the carburetor taken all the way apart and cleaned in some carburetor cleaner, this made a tremendous different in idle, and responsiveness, as well as top speed. I got it up to 65 mph, and felt like there was more there. Not quite ready to go there until I get a lock washer on the steering wheel so it doesn't fly off at a bad time :)
I got parts ordered for 2 new handles to roll up/down the windows, new windshield wipers, and new demister tubes (they carry the heat to the vents), as well as a new top liner, which seals the top against the top of the window so rain can't come in.
I hope to get all that installed and done next week.
