Re: Racer guys Engine help Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Lester, It REALLY sound like your cam is not installed correctly. It sounds like your engine is in either the compression or exhaust stroke with the intake valves opening thus blowing out fuel / air (exhaust valve or no valves open during these strokes.) Has this engine ever ran or is this a new rebuild/assembly? If it has ran before, something has changed and if not then something was not installed correctly. Timing chain slipped on its sprockets (or installed off a tooth, or more?) I would take a step back and put a degree wheel on the crank and degree in the cam and see if it is opening the intakes at the correct time.

Re: Racer guys Engine help Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Paul, yes, it has run before but never run well. It is a new engine, built by someone else. My current thinking is something along those lines. I am about to go remove the front cover and see what's what. Dave, if it would run I would put a vacuum gauge on it. It doesn't run well enough to do that, IIRC, a vacuum gauge won't tell you squat while you are just turning it over. And where would I hook it up, no vacuum ports on the carbs or intake manifold.

Re: Racer guys Engine help Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Doing a compression test, (both wet and dry) should tell you if there is a difference between the cylinders and their general condition. The motor doesn't have to run to do that and it should tell you a little about the engine. Checking the piston height through the plug holes and relating that to the rockers/valve positions should let you know if the cam is in correctly in relation to the crank and valve openings on an individual cylinder basis. If it is a wrong firing order cam the valve openings should be rather odd ...... There are the really odd ball things such as plug leads breaking down and distributor cam (bearings and lobes) being worn way out of spec. Or even the cam is too wild to work below 3000 rpm. Carbs and Inlet manifold seated properly on the head? It is always a worry when someone you don't know has built an engine and the problem is like this.

Re: Racer guys Engine help Paul, yes, it has run before but never run well. It is a new engine, built by someone else. My current thinking is something along those lines. I am about to go remove the front cover and see what's what. Dave, if it would run I would put a vacuum gauge on it. It doesn't run well enough to do that, IIRC, a vacuum gauge won't tell you squat while you are just turning it over. And where would I hook it up, no vacuum ports on the carbs or intake manifold.

Found the broken end and was able to remove the bit left in the rocker arm. BUT The threads are messed up in the rocker arm and if I measure the threads on the adjuster it's a perfect match for a 27 pitch which just doesn't sound right. So oh wise, king, and patient folk, what should it really be.. And it was the exhaust valve on #3 so it would push all the compressed air/fuel right into the intake manifold. UGHH..

The past year has been problem free until these recent clutch issues. The clutch is fine when I am up and running and typically when I come off from a start. But when I slow down to a stop, or to negotiate backing up I lose pedal pressure. Only when driving at around 1/2 MPH. Otherwise . . fine. I rebuilt the slave cylinder . . then later I put in a new slave cylinder. I have parts coming in the mail to rebuild the master cylinder. But the problem is so strange and at times inconsistent that I am wondering if this will fix it. Any ideas are certainly appreciated.

It looks like it bent and spent some life like that before it finally broke, This would explain why the car ran and suddenly started backfiring.

Re: Racer guys Engine help Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net I used to like to glue the valve cover gasket to the head with adhesive and put Hylomar on the valve cover side of the gasket. Then the gasket would stay on the head and make a kind of oil levee, if necessary. I made a couple valve cover nuts into T nuts http://i57.tinypic.com/2419xma.jpg Adjusting the valve lash is important, especially if you're trying to tune a dual carb setup.

The 948cc, 998cc and 1098cc engines had 7/32" BSF (28 tpi) thread with the oiling hole, fitted with 7/16 AF lock nuts, and it's not uncommon for them to break just as yours did.

Note the number of burned wires. Trace them out and identify what each one does. Everything SHOULD be fused to prevent such occurrences of fire. On many older cars, though, things like lights and ignition are not. Fuses should be rated for the load they are supporting. A device that draws under 4 amps may have a 5 Amp fuse, for example. The blower motor will probably have a 15 or 20 Amp fuse. 5 Amp fuses will usually pop before melting wires. 15 or 20 will pass more current making melting and fire more likely. You are most likely going to find the wire for the blower motor shorted to the chassis somewhere. When wires short they often times will melt themselves and other wires if they are bundled together. The horn in the Midget was grounded through the switch on the steering wheel, IIRC. Your horn problem is possibly unrelated to the wiring short/fire. First thing to do is disconnect the battery. Pull the ground side so that no further damage can occur. When you start poking around you may get a flare up if you don't. Next start tracing wires. I'd start at the blower motor and it's switch. That is the first clue. I would not order a new harness until after you ascertain the extent of the damage. One 12 or 14 gauge wire can make a lot of smoke.

This car was my Aunt and Dad's HP race car from the 60's and 70's. Dad had started to restore it back in thelate 80's, early 90's. He got cancer and passed away in 1998. I had to fight to get it from my Stepmother and the executor of the will. Many years and ALOT of help from this list, I got it restored. This car is now on it's 4th engine! First engine; Big main 1098 that was in the car when I got it. Some mods to it, big cam, head ported, LCB, HS2's. Ran great, lot's of power. Drove it for a while. First problem, Blew a head gasket, burned a line between cylinder's. Repaired, (welded) and head rebuilt. Within 15 minutes of reinstalling, snapped an intake valve at the top and holed a piston. Crap Engine 2 Another 1098 that Phil Nase (Thanks again, Phil!) was kind enough to lend me while I came up with another engine. ran great for a while, then blew a head gasket. Head cracked. Got another head, rebuilt it. Engine ran fine. Gave it back to Phil. Engine 3. Got another 1098, this time from Mike Rowe, ( Thank's MIke!) Mildy modded, but not much known of it's history. Ran well, although had lot's of rust in the water passages. I had been working on getting them cleaned out. Great oil pressure, I never ran it over 6000 rpm, when a couple of weeks ago, cruising along at 4500rpm ( about 60 with the 4.22's and 185/60s) and BIG BANG! Blew a hole in the side of the block. Apparently snapped the crank on this small main 1098. Sorry Mike! So, no more 1098's for me. I think the rest of the car hates them.... A 1275 and Datsun 5 speed, from a well known, but not necessarily well liked by some, British engine builder, gotten for a song, via Craigslist, a month or so ago, was installed a couple of weeks ago. Had been very happy so far, just breaking it in, then this. Brian S. Bugeyeracer finally resto'ed! Thanks to Frank C.! On Monday, July 21, 2014, brian S wrote: Or possessed...

A 2004 post from Frank: I Do believe in ghosts now. And one is haunting the A40. Tonight I moved the A40 across the street to mow the lawn. (it sits on my corner with a for sale sign) I left the keys in the ignition and went about mowing the lawn. I can see it right across the street it's just there. All of a sudden I see the lights are on, OK, maybe my leg hit the column light switch (it's opposite the key and way high) but maybe I hit it somehow. I walk across the street to turn them off. The door is locked! I didn't lock it, you can only lock it with the key which is still in the ignition. (NOS door locks installed a month ago thanks to Daniel S) So who locked the door when did they turned on the lights? And how without a key? So I climb in the boot, over the back seat, open the door and switch off the lights. I tried starting it to make sure the battery wasn't low due to the lights being on. It started OK but the tape player starts playing. I did not turn it on. Switch off the ignition, tape still playing the ghosts favorite song!!! LOUD too. Key out of the ignition, music still blasting. Now I know the tape player is wired thru the ignition, I wired it myself and it always worked OK. Now I can't even lower the volume, it was at the ghosts favorite level. Would not go up or down. Power off on the player, no dice. So I told the neighbor it must be haunted. I left the keys in it again, went out the drivers door, tested the door again to make sure it wasn't locked, it was not. Back to mowing the grass, the song ends and the tape player shuts off. It was loud enough to hear across the street with a lawn mower running. Finish the lawn chores and go to get in the A40. The door is LOCKED!! Now I know it worked when I left it. I grab the extra keys, unlock the door and the tape player starts playing before I even got in, and loud. Fire it up, go for smokes while listening to some ghosts favorite songs. At the store, I took the keys with me just incase Mr. Spirit wanted to lock me out. He did not. Get back in and the tape player is off, push power, it works fine, get home and park it and the tape player goes off as it should. Test the door, it is not locked. Now if this isn't a haunted LBC, I don't know what is. I am not making any of this up. I believe, I believe but I would really like to see him/her/it. Now I wonder if this same ghost was the reason behind this car's not wanting to start if the temperature was 40* or lower? -- Frank Clarici Toms River, NJ One too many Sprites and a haunted A40 Farina On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 12:17 AM, brian S wrote: > A little background on why I think it's haunted, other than just the recent > electrical problem. > > > > > ------------------------ spridgets@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive From spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Wed Jul 23 07:36:59 2014 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7BF5E2584518 for ; Wed, 23 Jul 2014 07:36:59 -0600 (MDT) Delivered-To: spridgets@autox.team.net Received: from smtp1.net.isc.upenn.edu (smtp1.net.isc.upenn.edu [128.91.2.99]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3EF58258448B for ; Wed, 23 Jul 2014 07:36:40 -0600 (MDT) Received: from proxy1.zimbra.upenn.edu (love.zimbra.upenn.edu [128.91.2.111]) by smtp1.net.isc.upenn.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9135819297; Wed, 23 Jul 2014 09:37:01 -0400 (EDT) Received: from cajal.uphs.upenn.edu (node3.uphs.upenn.edu [165.123.243.167]) by mail.med.upenn.edu (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 88A0CA211D; Wed, 23 Jul 2014 09:37:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Larry Macy Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2014 09:37:00 -0400 References: <75DD0AA9-0666-4663-BBDB-9C273398A41E@yahoo.com> To: David Lieb <72spridget@gmail.com> Cc: Spridgets net Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Another Spridget group...

Even though the car had been recently painted, I heated the corner of the foot well with a propane torch and took a really BFH and collapsed the edge for what I though was the right length. Then I spray painted it with a BRG that was pretty close. You really can't see the dents or the color difference where it is so far down and hidden. That section is double walled yet strong. I have never had an interference problem and I assume a race engine twists more than a street car engine. But, I also installed a homemade engine stabilizer bar. When I finish my '72 Midget, I plan to use an Isuzu starter because of the strength, reliability, and cost and I will once again be sure it doesn't interfere with the body by doing the above mods. Might be worth checking the transmission mounts and the four attaching bolts. Also the place where the header/exhaust pipe goes through the chassis under the carbs. Let us know what you find.

I feel like I am taking out an add in Craig's List when I send this to see if anyone new has any ideas. So far the most plausible refers to the motor mounts (which I think are in good shape . . but could be wrong). This is such a strange condition as the two components in the truck are not related to each other . . at least as I can see. My clutch is fine running around town. Only when slowing down in a parking lot or slowing down to back up does it lose hydraulic pressure . . or that which feels like the loss of pressure. I lose the clutch and cannot shift to neutral . . gear shift is stuck. If I shut the engine off the clutch pressure starts back up again. So I regularly find myself shutting down the engine in order to get my clutch back when having to drive slow. Anyone have any other ideas how these two systems are interacting with each other?

Something is shifting when you slow down. It seems like it happens when you get a weight transfer forward. Just had an ahah! moment. I seem to remember a while back, Frank had a braking issue with a Sprite. For the life of him he couldn't get the brakes to work right, despite repeated bleedings. Eventually, he took the master out to rebuild it, only to find a tiny piece of foil from the brake fluid can in the master cylinder. It would occasionally cover up one of the ports in the master, causing the problem. A possibility for you? A little piece of someting, when you get weight transfer forward, moves a piece of debris into a bad position? Brian S. Bugeyeracer finally resto'ed!

Looking back I met Frank in 2006 when looking for a replacement LBC for my 68 Spitfire. I think I met him via a search on craigslist and keyed in British car and he was selling an LBC but it was sold and he said I would be happier with a Spridget instead of any other LBC. I found my deep pink on eBay and she didn't even have one bid. The auction started at 1K and I was in contact with the owner Ryan and offered 1.5k if he would obtain a new title. The rest is history.

I have a new fuel tank from Moss and an old, rusted, leaky one pulled from a tub. The male and female fittings in each tank appear to be the same - 1/4" BSPP thread. The male fitting from the old tub is seriously buggered and attached to a 1/4" copper tube. As I recall it fit tightly in the original tank. I sourced a replacement male fitting and olive (ferrule) that dimensionally seem to match the original. But the new male fitting doesn't seal in the new female fitting. On further examination, the old male fitting doesn't seal in the old tank (PO made the seal with RTV?) HAs anyone run thru the permutations of getting a good match between the tank and a BSPP male fitting? I sourced mine from British Metrics (item METRO-001). I think the lousy seal is because of a slight mismatch in length - i.e., tolerancing/manufacturing. My measurements indicate that if the olive were another 0.020" longer or the male threaded fitting was another 0.020" in length, I'd get a good seal - i.t., the male fitting face wouldn't bottom against the female fitting face before the olive made the compression fit. Pic of both parts attached. Any help appreciated ...

This might be the answer to "my ghost" in my 58 Ford F-100 . . sounds plausible (although I do not like the answer very much). (I'd rather fish out a piece of foil in the system). Here is the response from Michael Lopes (regarding the loss of pressure and shifting at slow speed). . the guy I bought the truck from. We stay in touch with each other because the truck was a beloved member of his family since it was bought new in 1958. This is what Mike said . . see what you think. Kirk, Hope all is well. Your problem sounds to me like your Pressure Plate is going out. At slow R.P.M it's not releasing the pressure keeping the pilot turning allowing it to not to get out of gear I will look into it further and get back to you but I'm sure that is your problem because the hydraulic system either works or doesn't work let me know if this helps As I am also curious about this as well. PS Reminds me of that lyric in the Beach Boys song *Shut Down* . . "my pressure plate is burning and it shakes too much."

I just bought one from British Parts Northwest because they were about 54 bucks cheaper than Moss. Moss added an oversize fee, California taxes and shipping. BPN just added shipping to a $30 cheaper price. I thought that maybe only one place was making new tanks and all the usual suspects were selling the same thing. I am not so sure now. The tank I bought is made in Canada. Yes, you read that right, Canada, not China. It is very well made. When I looked in the sending unit mounting hole to see the pickup arrangement I saw a (3/16ths?) pipe coming from the threaded hole the fuel line goes into. It goes horizontal for a few inches and then bends down at a 45 degree angle to the tank floor. Where it meets the tank floor, there is a flat piece of steel like a shroud coming up at 45 degrees from the tank floor about an inch wide and three inches long. Sort of like a stop for the pickup. at the end of the pickup is a 3 and 1/2 inch long cylindrical white mesh plastic filter. I am worried this filter can become clogged. I am sure changing it is not an option. Maybe blowing fuel backwards through it will clean it, but what a hassle. Has anyone mounted a tank like this in their Bugeye? Did you remove the mesh filter before mounting the tank? Is that a good idea or am I worrying for nothing? Mike MacLean 60 Sprite 56 BN2 P.S. A new cork gasket, screws and lockwashers for the sending unit were included. See the Snapfish email that follows for some pictures of what I am talking about. ------------------------ spridgets@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive From spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Sun Sep 9 06:42:33 2018 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 87A8B2584A62 for ; Tue, 1 Jul 2014 08:16:34 -0600 (MDT) Delivered-To: spridgets@autox.team.net Received: from outbound-mail03.dca.untd.com (outbound-mail03.dca.untd.com [64.136.47.37]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with SMTP id 2F6A22584849 for ; Tue, 1 Jul 2014 08:16:25 -0600 (MDT) s=alpha; t=1404224193; bh=47DEQpj8HBSa+/TImW+5JCeuQeRkm5NMpJWZG3hSuFU=; l=0; h=From:Date:To:Cc:Subject:Message-Id:Content-Type; b=kTgR4grRHJng5fzpwqjcSOb4ywQY8LvKcb4dtdQB1OxSypJoBApBB2L+PLNt3X6GM F57fYanALytwe6TaFLVDhgAqUz8vskpWRuluWFdQ1zFnTmbTRIrv9oyDGQbPr/tbJR Bso+TNUBDT/yG8yj5qYZ/TmoUw6GjEM6pWXxEasE= Received: from outbound-bu1.dca.untd.com (webmail01.dca.untd.com [10.171.12.141]) by smtpout03.dca.untd.com with SMTP id AABK5FSWJA33UVSJ for (sender ); Tue, 1 Jul 2014 07:15:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [63.238.231.114] by webmail01.dca.untd.com with HTTP: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 14:14:36 GMT From: "Mark Haynes" Full-Name: "Mark Haynes" Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 14:14:36 GMT To: bmwwxman@gmail.com 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 457ded6ded401111a04025258514cd9d553025ad7111a1 Cc: spridgets@autox.team.net Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Metal contact sound through trans tunnel Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Status: RO Thanks Jim,I forgot that I'm in an area that is rife with Tommyknockers!

I still cannot get over driving a Vauxhall in England driving just over 600 miles burning off *less* than a quarter of a tank of gas. The same size engine from Sacramento to San Diego would have seen me filling the tank just after half way through the trip (I have made that trip many times). Whatever the imperial measurement difference is, it is not enough to convince me that this car was getting the same mileage we get in cars shipped to America. There have been others who have experienced the same thing. With a Volkswagen the guy tried to buy the same car when he got back to the states. He was told, "We can sell you that car, but not with the same engine." What is the benefit of direct injection? Does it increase power, economy?

By the way, my wife never complained about having to push start the midget for a whole week. ------------------------ spridgets@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive From spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Sun Sep 9 06:42:34 2018 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6A36A2584DDF for ; Wed, 2 Jul 2014 19:12:24 -0600 (MDT) Delivered-To: spridgets@autox.team.net Received: from mail-la0-f49.google.com (mail-la0-f49.google.com [209.85.215.49]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0D65225805FD for ; Wed, 2 Jul 2014 19:12:08 -0600 (MDT) Received: by mail-la0-f49.google.com with SMTP id gf5so7627916lab.36 for ; Wed, 02 Jul 2014 18:12:17 -0700 (PDT) h=mime-version:sender:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject :from:to:cc:content-type; bh=760C+yLsWHD7i/WWLnWcstvlBJqREkQBZkqWamJJC0o=; b=uLKhnHObC9mEfnapdDNMQ3JigXcJH5kusij3ajqPK89skan6+yPTdQV64afHgXWkvZ UOCpwd3V/hsPX/YgHidUh4tm0zqC1jYUKbSoW/qbRwPF8YU3C1HWKUko9KZ3TK/WJsUC Y+d8I+j8cskrw56CiZ+SRRxo1yl9r6GrOpL05DWE661f0cLxrLLsgoLzyWpfNuZnvI8y ECYJ9gKMhYU3J2ZyDpi9hVWycmtQTxVEISDGuEzJDrfT0poklkwtBe3IwSa9cPDje9RX A3Fs/2Dwq9G4dwO/MEdCtVFEje8j8QZfOoi5cccB6AFHAm4qIL2gRkkVifByt7jTocAP ib+w== jo6mr1050046lab.6.1404349936887; Wed, 02 Jul 2014 18:12:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.112.255.35 with HTTP; Wed, 2 Jul 2014 18:12:16 -0700 (PDT) References: <53ADA40B.3000802@cox.net> Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2014 21:12:16 -0400 From: Steven Guterman To: David Ambrose Cc: Spridget Chat Group Subject: Re: [Spridgets] New Mini Cooper Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Status: RO Hi all, I bought my Mini Cooper S new when they first came out. Mine is a 2002 purchased in the summer of 2001. First it is a blast to drive. I have only about 55k miles on it, using it originally only in the summers and then my son took it to college. Only had 2 items break in the past 14 years - 1) the coolant reservoir leaked at the seam and 2) the radiator fan has a stupid (in my mind) setup for low speed. They run the current though a wire wound resistor to limit the current flow and get low speed. Over time they all break. The part is not designed to be replaced. Go to BMW you pay $300 for a new fan assembly plus $200-300 for labor, or by an aftermarket one for $150 and install it yourself or three (my solution) by a new resistor, cut out the old one and solder the new one in place. ($15 bucks). I also put on new brakes and rotors at 45k, does not seem unreasonable. I love the supercharger, no lag, great power and the cars keeps on pulling past 100mph. No complaints. I have heard the automatic transmission sucks.

Well I learned something from Billy Z . . that gas varies as a seasonal thing. Possibly the gas in the UK is of a higher grade . . it should be as it costs nearly 10 dollars a gallon. When you pull up to a station the price reads by the litre. At first glimpse the prices seem ok until you recognize that you are buying by the liter, not the gallon, imperial or otherwise. For the gauge to move less than a quarter of a tank in 605 miles of driving, and the corresponding amount of gas put back in to fill it up before returning it to Hertz (nothing awry with the gauge). . something is up with that! We rented a Vauxhall Corsa with a 1.6 standard fuel injected engine. It is hard to pull the same MPG as we do on our freeways. The UK freeways (motorways) regularly come into two lane round-a-bouts which cause you to lower your speed. About 30% of our driving was in cities, London, Liverpool, etc. If my assumption by way of my experience is true . . then it is possible for non hybrid cars to be made that can pull 75 MPG or more. (Not that hybrids can do that either). PS I wish we had less stop lights and more round-a-bouts in the States. I fell in love with them as they allow you to keep moving.

I like the idea because I believe that getting to and from an event should be as much fun as the event and there are lots of excellent, back-roads routes to take to Louisville, from just about every direction. As far as Colorado Springs is concerned, it's just too far away, for me. I have to think the Porsche 356 Registry has it right, when they do two annual "Holidays" (East Coast Holiday and West Coast Holiday). They've even done a "North Coast Holiday", several years ago, in St. Paul, MN. The events are usually "sold-out", and are great fun (356 people are a whole lot different from "Porsche people"). Of course, some Registry members make a practice of attending both events. Anyway, a Porsche 356 is WAY more of a long distance touring car than a Spridget and most of those guys won't even consider driving across the country to attend their national meet. Why not consider separate events for east and west?

I am listing this car for good friends of mine, I have no financial interest in the sale. Just trying to get the word out for them. For your consideration- a 1962 Triumph Herald in excellent condition. I believe my friends to be the second owners. The previous owner had an early/mid 80's Ford three speed auto trans mated to the original engine. All it needs is front brake shoes. Price will fall in the $4,000 range. Here is a link for an image: http://s1367.photobucket.com/user/owensdad74/library/Herald They can be reached at ZynithRysa@aol.com. Or if you prefer talking over the phone, let me know and I can arrange that too!

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Status: RO I purchased a 2013 Honda Civic Si last December. I LOVE this car. The handling, with the 6 speed box, not to mention the 200+ hp out of the V-Tec 4 cylinder, have the 68 sitting ignored more than she is used to. I have a list of local buyers, all wanting the car we currently own. And since I found out, that they offer some upgrades to the Si, through the Honda Factory Performance, and the Honda Racing Division. I am hoping to find a dealership, that will build the 2015 I want, without making it an unpleasant sexual experience. Does anyone have a Honda dealership in their neighborhood, in the continental U.S., that you think may offer some deals on a custom factory build? By having Honda do all the upgrades, it WILL cost a bit more, but I will still have a factory warranty, if it is done by them.

The suspension height is determined by measuring from the wheel centre to the top of the wheel arch and should be in the region of 13-5/8 inches. The pressure should be 220psi. http://members.tripod.com/austin_america/id63.html is an excellent site with information you'll need. About the engine / gearbox. Start by draining the oil before removing the engine. Don't loose the nut, but do replace the copper washer. If the engine runs leaving it running for 5 mins or so so that it warms up, thins out and drains off easier. Be careful 'cause it does get very hot!

Quite the membership list of questions but I'll do my best to answer! I'm not sure what a wheel chock is yet, but I'm learning. Cats...I have one, she's awesome! I'm a fan of most cuddly creatures. I like water guns, and I have no problems with real firearms in the hands of properly educated individuals. I also love beer (IPAs preferably), tequila in the summer and whiskey in the winter. Occasionally a glass of wine if the occasion arises and champagne on my birthday! Whew, I hope I passed the initial question of hazing. Thanks for the site reference I've been frequenting there quite a bit. I've also invested in 2 manuals this AM, hope to have them by the wkend. Noted on the engine/gearbox. Thnx!

I was in France last summer, they got me with a camera doing 102kph in a 90kph zone and sent the ticket all the way to California.

Screw up mixture nuts all the way and then down 2 turns. up = leaner, down = richer. (this is the nut at the bottom of the carb) 3. loosen up throttle shaft couplings 4. adjust idles so carb air intake is the same, engine running (use Unisync) 5. run adjuster nut down until smooth running; or up until rough running and then back down 6. adjust idles so they are the same(repeat back and forth steps 4 thru 6) Stall indicates other carb is too lean when you push up the piston pin at the side of the carb (so you'd turn down on its richness adjustment screw) 7. do a final idle check on both carbs using Unisync. 8. tighten nuts on throttle shafts If you need to avoid blocking holes on face of carb with Unisync base, cut off both ends of a can. I use and old STP Gas Treatment can (8 oz.) or a Hunt's Tomato Paste can (6 oz.) Rubber tape around the card end can prevent air leakage there if that appears to be a problem.

Racer guys Engine help Lester (and all), Another setup tip for the carbs - remove the piston and using the back end of a caliper or similar, lower the jets on each carb so they are .060 below flush with the bridge. This takes variability out of the initial setup and gives you a much more accurate baseline than counting flats.

Well I happened to be on the outside of the car when my wife started it up and saw that the filters hit the bonnet and that there is NO space between the filter housing and the bonnet. What model K&N filter housing are you using? These are mounted to the carbs at the BOTTOM of the assembly instead of at the center. Just don't know what model will fit and not try and burst through my bonnet.

On the second day I was going through everything and checking valve clearances...Following the firing order 1,3,4,2 then my girlfriend said "if 3 comes after 1, why did 4 intake valve open ?" or something like that. 40 years and I still hear about it from her (married 36 years now). Some idiot has put in a new cam that had a different firing order, 1,2,4,3 is what the cam was, I have no idea where that cam came from it was in the boxes with the block and other motor parts when I bought the basket case and I never checked it just assumed it was right. So check your firing order ! take off the valve cover, set motor at TDC and double check valve timing, then rotate motor watching both valves and rotor on distributor (I think you said it was electronic so oops if it is). This will take 5 minutes to do and eliminate a 1,000 possible things wrong and you will now be able to diagnose from a known starting point. And keep your gf away or she might fix it and remind you for decades. I personally can't imagine how a carb could cause backfiring through the carbs unless you forgot to put parts in or like that. So for fire to get to the carb it has to be valve timing is way off or ignition timing is way off. Yeah, I suppose really really bad valve clearances could cause the symptoms you are seeing but that would be the last thing I would check.

I've set everything up just as it's supposed to be.. it should work.. Ok, so if I move the plug wires around by two places then I have essentially spun the distributor around by 180 degrees.. sounds easy enough.. Oh yeah, I was thinking about the carbs, as I have verified that the pistons move easily up and down and at about the same rate and the needles are mounted correctly then as long as I have no air leaks due to gaskets/seals the only thing left to verify is that fuel flows through the jets as I have already verified fuel height in the bowl and fuel flow through the needle and seat. Hmm.. I just thought of something else.. there doesn't seem to be a vent on top of the float chamber but that may just be my memory..

I used a piece of Aluminum angle that was slotted to clamp behind the two top carb stud nuts. You may be able to flip your half moon quadrant around or just fab up an angle lever that starts about 7-8 o'clock (as viewed from the front). The half moon probably corresponded to a MC throttle and may or may not work well with the Spridget pedal.

You can measure cable travel and travel of carb linkage through arc. I'd start with longer radius and go from there. As long as you get WOT and return to stop, you should be good.

What model K&N filter housing are you using? These are mounted to the carbs at the BOTTOM of the assembly instead of at the center. Just don't know what model will fit and not try and burst through my bonnet.

They also have a nice variety of headers to suit whatever engine setup you are running, so you can tailor the header to your car. Using a header with a straight pipe makes it easy for any local shop to set it up for you. HTH, Mark Haynes It only goes one way-Pay it Forward Hello All; I am getting to the point in the rebuilt of my 73 Midget that I need exhaust pipes and muffler and was wondering about using a local muffler shop to build the system. Has anyone else done this? The VickyBrit and Moss and others seem expensive for a simple exhaust like these cars use. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am really excited!! I have the new wiring harness working great now. I canbt wait til first fire! Monty Love ____________________________________________________________ The #1 Worst Carb Ever?

Re: Racer guys Engine help Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net Status: RO For those counting on the carbs.. no joy. Disassembled carbs, verified position of needle, removed jets and verified flow, verified that piston drop on both carbs was at essentially the same speed, verified that both pistons bottom out easily and without apparent drag. Verified float, needle , and seat (Note: there is no adjustment on this setup, the plastic float is just what it is). Set both jets flush with bridge, backed off both 12 flats. I have not checked to see if the engine is "sucking".. that will be later.

Also, no vent on top of the chamber. Seems really odd to me. I wonder if someone mixed and matched and although the bolt holes line up, this one needs a vent.
