Try Dave Bean and BAT. Russ

Mine is RHD (British made Locost). The cool factor is there but drive-up windows, mail boxes, pulling out of parallel parking places, and passing cars on the highway are a challenge. Luckily I only have 58 hp so I don't get to pass a lot of cars on the highway. Russ

Fastg I have heard all kinds of horror stories about PVC pipe being used for air on the woodworkers forums I frequent. It is not rated for that much air pressure and any oil that comes out of the compressor might react with the PVC. Just my $.02 worth. Russ

No, but be sure to put a drip leg on each verticle run with a drain valve to drain out the moisture occasionally. I ran all mine in copper but I would think galvanized would be OK. Don't run it in black iron pipe. Also don't hard pipe to the compressor. It vibrates too much. Run a short flexible line to it. Russ

Cool. I need to show this to my son. The future engineer! Russ

I just installed a Petronix electronic ignition in my 1300cc xflow that is in my Locost. I have been having problems with rough running, back firing, and marginal performance. All of which I blamed on my Holley 2V carb. I went out to test drive it after timing it and all I can say is………………………… OMG!!!!! What a difference it has made. I have a bad feeling I might be getting a speeding ticket the way it is running. I’ll know more tomorrow after going for a longer blat. Russ

No political discussion on this post please, but everyone please vote on Nov 2nd. If you don't vote don't bitch!!! Russ

Thanks Dingo that is good to know. I ordered the Petronix unit from BAT today. Good bye points!!!! Thanks guys, Russ

lancylad, Can you have Megajolt set up for one type of motor (Ford) and down the road put it on another motor (Suzuki GTi)? Is Megajolt sold in the USA? I know would need a new trigger wheel. Kitcat, Pegasus has that Petronix but is anybody else cheaper? Tks Russ

I have a Ford 1300cc xflow with a points ignition and a FoMoCo dizzy that I want to put electronic ignition in this winter. Any suggestion on brand and a cheap place to purchase said device in the States. Russ ps: the 1300cc uses the same ignition parts as the 1600cc

Not impressed with his BO impersonation but the other two were spot on. Russ

Yeah, right!!!!!!!!!!!! Fat chance. Russ

Don't forget there is a Midwest Se7ens Gathering in northern Arkansas in June 2011. ALL Se7ens are welcome along with any one else interested in our cars. See the announcement in LocostUSA. Russ

I always thought a Se7en painted JP Special would be nice. Russ

Julian D and I are going to put together a gathering in Northern Arkansas in June of 2011. Here is his post on LocostUSA announcing it. Please go to that site and respond if you are interested in coming to the event. Thanks Russ OK....I am going to jump into the deep end of the pool and raise my hand to co-host the 2011 Midwest Se7ens Gathering! (poor Russ is a glutton for punishment and has offered to help me out on this one!) We will be gathering in the GREAT driving mountains of north central Arkansas at the Hub motorcycle resort just outside of Harrison Ak. I checked their schedule online and they have the weekends of June 10-11-12 and June 24-25-26 open right now. Before I contact them to start sorting out the details I need to hear from everyone as to which weekend works best for the majority of us. (June is a good time of year as the weather doesn't start getting too hot, although all the rooms have A/C .) So start giving me some feed back and start spreading the work and saving the dates! I would like to start getting back to them by the end of Oct. so the weekends don't get book up! Julian "He must be Mad" Dziurawiec :cheers:

Hey, watch who you call young!

I just officially turned "Old Fart". My 60th birthday was Saturday. Russ

A green Se7en was spotted in St Jo, Missouri today. It was not loaded for travel so it must be local. Anybody on here???? Russ

What about denture cleaner? Russ

Amen to that, Skip. Russ

Wow!! That is wild. Russ

I would have to add the Mazda MX6 older body style. I love its swoopy looks. Russ

Bean is your best bet. Great people to work with. Never was impressed with BAT. Russ

How about a Claymore and a trip wire? Oops my military is showing. Russ

Kitcat let me know how the new pump works for you. I run about 20-25 at idle and about 30 at 5600 redline on my 1300cc xflow. 6500 RPM!!!!! Man I have never taken mine past 5600. WOW!!!! Russ
