Reply to "Trans status"

Did a few tweaks today that I've been meaning to. Turn signal wouldn't return from the left, so I greased it up. Put some braided steel over the German hose fuel lines for protection.

 

Then I delved into my carbs, and swapped the old float valves for brand new ones. Did you know that you should set the float top height AFTER you set the drop? Apparently, my floats were set way too high adjusting them in reverse. Oops!

 

So checked it all out, warmed it up, set idle synch and mixture, then checked high speed. Didn't have to touch it, it is perfectly spot-on. The only thing that was off was the accelerator pump volume. This changed when I rebuilt the carbs with new diaphragms. Anyway, it is back to the perfect it used to be last year.

 

Trans shifts perfectly, brakes are sorted, pretty much just need to keep driving now
