Great day for a Blat!

[yellowss7]

Just got back from a nice blat. In what other car, can you ask your 17 year old daughter if she'd like to join you for a drive, and she says yes!

 

We were bringing joy to all when we came to the first stop sign and it just shut down. :cuss: Cranked ok but wouldn't fire up. Luckily we were on a flat section of road and I pushed us across the intersection to take a look. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts, I left the air filter off and it fired right up. I figured that I must have over oiled the filter after I cleaned it. Does this make sense?

 

Got it home. Cleaned off the filter, reinstalled and it ran fine. :hurray: Continued the blat for another hour. Even on the street tires this thing handles so well, that it's unreal.

 

Still can't wipe the grin off my face. Hope everyone has time for a blat today.

Glad you made it out today.

 

I just came in from firing Frankn7 up just to take a mental note that EVERYTHING works before I start the rewiring project

 

I think Al went for a Blat, and will have a story to tell when he gets back

It's not fun if you don't blow a hose!

 

Pix to come, but I blew a hose (AGAIN) clamp on the way to my rendez with Jon.

 

Thankfully, I was not too far from a town with an autoparts store AND had some tools. So I cobbled it together McGyver style and we trundled off to visit the trailer place. I'll have more to report but want to get a read for who else would be in for a group buy on a Michael D style trailer?

 

Gotta run before my family thinks I've abandoned them in the library. Great to meet you Jon! Pretty car.
