Bump!

Schneider fills in the blanks, there is an ink pen marking through HOT for valve lash.

roger Roger. I love that movie but when it first came out I was like 10 and didn't get the jokes. My parents were dying laughing, I think I went to lobby and played Asteroids.

Watching Austin City Limits, Thao and the get down stay down. Los Lobos up next. Hopefully I can get tickets during ZCON. Love that show and the production. 8^)

I am selling this car. I wanted to keep my personal business seperate from the forum but I thought I would offer to you guys before I sale it for not much more than I paid three and a half years ago. I paid $5,500 and have a buyer at $6k. Everybody seems scared at the rust but I've seen much worse. Anyway it is what it is and I'll sale for what I can.

More discussion equals more thoughts. The brain, use it or lose it. That's why I love this forum, you gotta think a little. With the exception of our "tell me what I want" members.

History lesson here? It is for me. Also a spelling lesson. One T in the US and Canada, two TTs in Europe. carburetor carburettor According to this it was fuel starvation at first then overly rich causing them to flood out. The early versions of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine came equipped with a SU carburettor. When these aeroplanes performed a negative G force manoeuvre (pitching the nose hard down), fuel was forced upwards to the top of the float chamber of the carburettor rather than into the engine, leading to loss of power. If the negative G continued, the fuel would collect in the top of the float chamber, forcing the float to the floor of the chamber. This would in turn open the needle valve to maximum, flooding the carburettor with fuel and drowning the supercharger with an over-rich mixture. This would lead to a rich mixture cut-out, which would shut down the engine completely, a serious drawback in combat.[1] Negative G commonly occurs when manoeuvring to fire on an enemy aircraft in a dogfight. Moving the stick forward would starve the engine of fuel, producing a sudden loss of power. This would let the enemy get away, and if continued the manoeuvre would cause the carburettor valve to open, provide far too rich a mixture and stop the engine. During the Battles of France and Britain, the German fighter aeroplanes had fuel injected engines and therefore did not suffer from this problem as the fuel injection pumps kept the fuel at a constant pressure whatever manoeuvres were made. The German pilots could exploit this by pitching steeply forward while pushing the throttle wide open, the pursuing British aircraft being left flat footed since trying to emulate the manoeuvre would result in loss of power, or fuel flooding and engine shutdown. The British countermeasure, a half roll so the aircraft would only be subjected to positive G as they followed German aircraft into a dive, could take enough time to let the enemy escape.

That makes perfect sense now that I am looking at your CAD image. When I disabled the rear my car would die so I turned the front further down to keep it running. I'm thinking there's a half a turn difference between mine. This winter I'm planning on going through all this information and get them more precise. But it ran pretty darn good this morning.

So that's the reason my Grandad was in Europe!

I dumped a FULL load of soaking wet crush and run with a single piston truck, converted from propane to a dump bed with wood sides, got all the way up and started to ease off. Twisted the bed off and damn near rolled the cab over. Almost crapped my pants. Tight-wad owner of the construction company I worked at for 18 years. He started off frugal but we ended up flying to Florida's pan handle in a Cessna CJ-1. 400 knots at around 22,000 feet. 5 hour drive took 45 minutes. Talk about a suck arse! I hated driving so bad I quit smoking so I could jump on the plane with him. We flew Joe Namath and Nick Saban many times. I have Joe Willies autographed book "#12" and a Crimson Tide football also Nick Saban signed football. Met Don Shula on that plane too. I pretended to be the co-pilot, University rules if your plane was part of their program. Khakis and a polo with Ray Bans, put the headphones on and I was a co pilot.

Dang! That's like hearing someone else's nightmares, love to hear them but thank God I didn't experience them. Please try to come to ZCON in Austin! We'll have a big time.

Back in my daze, when I scraped out my pipes that was "hash".

Man I tell you, for some reason I feel a lot better after sharing my mistakes with you Mark. All my life my family and friends made me feel like a stupid a** because of the way I lived. THANK YOU!

I had a step dad that told me about the red haired scents that was $25 to $35 an oz back then. I was in diapers!

Mark that is so cool you just don't know. 1985 one month after turning 16 I got one of the first crotch rockets there was, Honda Interceptor 750. It would do 130mph easy. But the brakes sucked. I almost lost my right foot crashing that thing then jumping up to kill the motor. It was running wide open four feet from me and gas was pouring out everywhere. When I stood up my tibia shot out the side of my leg at least six inches, I was standing on it and my left foot. Looked down and instantly fainted/passed out went into shock. Stayed in the hospital for one month. Weed was $100 an oz and my friends used my hospital stay as a hotel room. Stuffed towels under the door and smoked it up! I had a demoral pump that was set at 7 minute intervals. Needless to say I puked every seven minutes it seemed like. Me and my parents are thankful for everyday! I'd like to sit down, drink some cold beers and talk about "the good old days (sarcastically he typed). Here's to better days we both have earned the hard way. One of my songs is "Bird nest on the ground" by Doyle Bramyall.

Yes sir! I agree with Ms Maras after reading the post above, you've been harming yourself longer than I been alive. Maybe you can put those days behind you and start down the "C"harming path. 8^) After seeing your sledge hammer hands I'd enjoy hearing some life stories I know you have. Take care. Cliff

Thank you Mark. I rarely hear that phrase.

Looks good but tough work. We have very similar work benches, old hardwood doors.

My thinking is when you hit the gas the front float, being in an opposite position of the rear, swings up shutting off the fuel flow. That was the reason they made them deeper. Now if the lids were both facing forward and the float would drop when you accelerate then I could understand the same length ears and valves. But we all think differently and that's what makes our forum the best, no hard headed know-it-alls cramming their thoughts in your head.

I thought the same thing Zed the other day, where's Mark? Wow! I'm a big ole pu**y after seeing that and complaining the way I have. I sure am sorry about that, you'll miss that ear scratcher. It's hard to tie your shoes without that finger too I've realized. Kinda puts a kink in the finger test, " Poor communication while working on heavy machinery." To see what your fingers say about you, straighten out your left hand and compare it to the images below. Hand "A" means your ring finger is longer than your index finger. Hand "B" means your index finger is longer than your ring finger. Hand "C" means your ring and index finger are the same length Hand "C" means you're a good communicator! Actually you'd be an A. Hand "A" means you are charming!

Thanks Dave, I'm bad to get tunnel vision or tunnel thinking. Blue thank you too, I adjusted mine very similar to what you're saying. The floats should be parallel to the lids. I've always set mine to.55" upside down. It's running very well now so it may be awhile but I want to try what Dave did, have them dangling down, not resting on the pin and see if there's much difference that way. But I'm not touching them until I have to. 8^) And the floats in my last pic are the worst two of six. Those are my parts/core set. So the moral of my hiccup or foul up, for my information is the earlier 4 screw SUs have equal depth float pin arms or ears. Learned something new today. Thanks.

Dave I'm so sorry! I had know idea your ears were the same. That explains everything. All mine are 3 screws. The front lid overflow bung is on the rear closet to the motor side. The rear carb that overflow is closest to the fender. I'm so sorry. I feel foolish. Sorry Mr Palmer too.

I was raised to respect my elders so please don't take this as my attempt at arguing, I'm just puzzled. I've rebuilt 2 sets of 3 screw round top SUs and the front float valve is about an 1/8th of an inch longer. To make my valves from Ztherapy work I had to add an extra aluminium washer under the front float valve. I've read many post about the front carb needing the extra depth for when the fuel all goes to the back of the bowl on acceleration. Am I wrong @Blue @Jarvo2 @jonathanrussell? It wouldn't be the first time and sure won't be the last but it is what it is. I apologize for disagreeing with Mr Palmer, he is a very nice man and they may work without that extra washer but to keep the tang on my float from being bent almost straight down I added that extra washer. A quick google search, https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1BOFA_enUS494US494&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=240z different lenghth float valves Picture of another set of SUs I have for parts. You can see the difference on the float pins ears and the valves laying beside the rear float. How could "one size fit all"?

My new puppy eats something I would eat (have eaten the chicken, had to try it out! ). Toothpaste with antifreeze ingredient diethylene glycol, DEG. WASHINGTON — The government warned consumers on Friday to avoid using toothpaste made in China because it may contain a poisonous chemical used in antifreeze. Out of caution, the Food and Drug Administration said, people should throw away toothpaste with labeling that says it was made in China. The FDA is concerned that these products may contain diethylene glycol The alert says the agency found DEG in three products manufactured by Goldcredit International Trading in China. The products are Cooldent Fluoride, Cooldent Spearmint and Cooldent ICE. Analysis of the products revealed they contained between 3 percent and 4 percent DEG. https://goldcredit.en.alibaba.com/
