Pretty nerve racking day today. Had the car inspected by the state patrol and I'm now legal! |

Andrew, Your car looks great. It should be a hoot to drive, or ride in. Next time the Seattle area Locosters get together please bring your car. I'm sure the rain will stop someday. Larry O. |

Thanks everyone. Still have tiny things I’d like to eventually do but I’m in no rush to get back to working on it. Can’t wait until the weather turns and I can start enjoying it. retiredlarry wrote: Andrew, Your car looks great. It should be a hoot to drive, or ride in.

I saw a post a while back about some guys talking about a Seattle meet but nothing concrete came of it. Hopefully something gets setup and I can come out and meet you fine people. |

The USA Sevens was throwing such thoughts around but I haven't heard anything lately. We can stir up a few guys for a burger and a beer which is always fun. Warm, dry day and I'll bring my Locost. |

Brought the car in to get the carburetor tuned because carburetors are before my time and I have no idea what I am doing with them. I was happy with the before and after results. |

Is the top line horsepower? The declining line? If so I believe your carb is too small. |

Top lines torque. |

Really? That much more torque than hp? That's odd for a gas engine. |

Looking at the RunFile_012.drf RunFile_001.drf notation on the print out, if 001 was your first run and 012 was your last, I'd say you got your moneys worth with a 96 HP gain for run 012 versus 001. Is that what it means? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carburetors were before his time, he says. Whipper-snapper. |
