Re: Old Records
I would suggest having someone (even if you have to pay them) that is good at taking sharp clear photos, take the necessary photos & send them in!!! Since I haven't seen the ones you sent in, I wouldn't want to try & guess, just as Bruce & Winnie wouldn't either!!! If it's not clear, th...

Hey Tim & Barb... I'm sure the "MITM" will be a great success!!! Patricia & I really wanted to attend, with or without Xena, but it just isn't possible for it to happen this year!!! We'll see you at #2 !!!

Re: Carburators at altitude
Not only did it work on Xena all these years, I know of a couple dozen VW fuel pumps it has worked on!!! Of course it reduces not only pressure, but volume too, but it is a minuscule amount, which is usually just enough!!!

Re: Carburators at altitude
BTW... when I installed my dual Kadron 40mm carbs on Xena's engine, I was told to keep the fuel pressure "under" 4 psi!!! I checked it & it was almost 5 psi!!! So I checked out all of the different fuel pressure regulators & someone reminded me about putting several fuel pump gask...

Re: Carburators at altitude
As I posted before... make sure the spark plugs are clean, not sooty! I highly recommend installing new Bosch W8AC & gap them @ .045"! NGKs work well too, I sometimes use B5HS. Check to make sure the timing is set at... 30* @ 3000 rpms! If you check the main gas jet, a #130 should work fin...
