The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

[Trollhole]

The good= the 40 is running and back together

The bad= did a compression check to see how bad it was

The Ugly= 110, 105, 115, 100, 110, 120 Dry.

Just not good. I'm going to take it to a local shop tomorrow and see if I can get someone to adjust the valves a little better than me and tune the carb and set timing.

When I set the timing to 7tdc at 650rpm it runs like crap. If I adjust it by ear it runs very nice.

I know I have burned a valve on #4. I'm just hoping I can get it to Tellico and back one more time before the 2fe conversion. Anyone have a suggestion?

Drive it like you stole it. I can trailer you back from MLK but I doubt you'll need it.

OUCH! But our Clemson Cruiser can take it as good as he can dish it out!

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

marshall, those numbers are'nt bad at all.

and sometimes tuning by ear is the best way.

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

ahhhhhh I have been vindicated............ told you were a pansy Marshall

you've seen what abuse my cruisers have been through

 

[clemson55]

We all know Marshall has vaginistus, every time he hears a noise in his cruiser his vagina hurts. At least his cruiser is running though.

 

[Trollhole]

yes it is. Actually both of them run. Licensed and insured. Does that count?

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

we are a little rough on you aren't we marshall

 

[clemson55]

I just went ahead and threw out the designated first response whenever I talk junk to someone. I guess now it should be more like "well at least my cruisers can stop".

 

[Trollhole]

This may be me this time.

 

[cruiser4life]

Ha, LOL. I forgot about that one. Is that the only ride the $1 Pig has been on?

 

[Sputnik40]

If you're totally desmogged you need to run a bit more than 7 tdc. 10 + would be better - with a better dizzy and a header you could go as high as 14 I think... Might be getting things confused, but think that's how I've been doing it. Course I'm now running a DUI and fuel injection .

#4 or 5 valve blow out is probably from running too lean due to a brake booster or other rear vacuum leak. Common.

Its the only official UC ride it has been on. It has driven around probably about 20-25 times now though. If you count the HAMOM it has driven at 2 UC events.

 

[GXO]

Can I park on it?

I've got a 79 electronic small cap waiting to go in. I thought I might wait until after Tellico. Doing to many things at one time leaves way to many things to trouble shoot when something goes wrong.

I'm just glad to see it's running.
