Re: Palf's Little Blue Jimmy

Well the tank repairs were a success. No more leaks and I have a working gas gauge now thanks to the new sending unit I had lying around. Got the pipes installed yesterday. It calmed things down some, but still on the loud side. But as we were pulling out of the bay notice tapping in the engine. So today I adjusted the valves. A couple were a bit loose. I think I got it right. No back firing or other stuff. I also did some more work on the throttle cable mount and added new accelerator cable. That took care of all the sticking of the throttle. It is running rich right now, so tomorrow I'll see what I can adjust on the carb to clean it up some. AC compressor came in today, So I should get it mounted in the next couple days. Too many appointments and some side computer jobs popping up right now to get into that yet. But she seems to run great so far.
