Good News and Bad News

Post by Jughead »

Well the good news is I took my T500 for a blast Around the Neighborhood to make sure the Neighbors were Awake this evening.Didn't really have nothing to do so I figured I'd blow the soot out of the pipes that built up at Deals Gap. :lol: Uh does the T500 suppose to do 60MPH in 2nd Gear. :shock: Ran one of my workers His Paycheck down the Highway a few Miles Away and on the way back I opened Her up to see just how fast she would get on the Straight Stretch.Hmmm Not bad I wound it out to 95MPH in 4th but She fell flat on Her Face.Backed off of the Throttle a bit and Grabbed some more after it picked back up.If it doesn't rain tomorrow I may take Her for another spin to see at what RPM the Dead Spot Occurs.She still has a Definate Bog in the 1/4 Throttle range.I'm sure the pilot jets may be a little large since I don't think I changed those out from What came in the Carbs.

The Bad News.....Well I think I may be Sucking Transmission oil into the right Cylinder.I changed the Plugs Before the last Blast and the right side was Fouled completely out with Thick Black stuff. :x Oh well what can you expect on 40 Year old Crank seals.Guess I get to cough up for a Crank rebuild and might as well do the Transmission Modification. :roll:


Hmmm 69 Miles now since she first fired up 2 years ago. :lol:
