Fuel then.

Could plugs fouling play into there too? Or would that be more of a timing thing?

And lost a few. So here's the scoop. Got my Dream a few months ago. It started when I got it. Then it died after riding up a dusty hill to a lookout. I discovered the air filter wasn't attached. Then I cleaned the carb more than a few times, refurbished the old air filter following paperslammer's po...

Re: De-Rust fuel tank

...But here's a word of advice for anyone that wants to use this method - take OFF the chrome side panels first. Hey guys, I'm a still pretty green. I had a couple questions about this process: 1) Did you take off the petcock to de-rust the tank? If so, how did you remove it all the way? 2) How did...

With 12 volts to the coil, you can simply lift the ground wire and it will simulate the points opening. If you get no spark from the HT lead with a grounded spark plug, coil is dead. what do you mean "lift the ground wire?" On another note, do condensers typically need to be replaced? Is the only w...

Re: cheap air hose

I found that a used radiator hose I had on my wall did the job well. Even the curves were suitable. Fits so well I don't need clamps. I believe (not positive) it was the lower hose for a 1979 Chevy with a 350. The price was right! was the hose two different sized openings like the original air inta...

I emailed the guys there and they are working on putting one out sometime later this year. I'm also waiting to hear back from some British outfit.

Thanks brew,
