Author Message   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, August 19, 2012 - 10:07 pm:        Here's a co-worker's original-owner, 7100 mile S2T that I just got done bringing back to life. It's been in his barn for a dozen years (at least, he says). No major surgery required - carb rebuild with ultrasound cleaning, new fluids throughout, new tires, new battery, everything checked and adjusted, it's a happy camper Although I know now why he parked it - it's got the Supertrapp exhaust, and when I pulled the carb it was a 42/170. Ran like poo when I put it back together (I figured "he was riding it this way so it must be OK")...but when I re-jetted it with a 45/190? Happy-happy. It should get a lot more miles now!   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, August 19, 2012 - 10:08 pm:        helps to include the photo.....doh!   Jumbo_petite Posted on Monday, August 20, 2012 - 09:56 am:        Joe I'm digging the new 6 car garage JP   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - 08:13 am:        Thanks JP - much better than my old hallway...er, "garage"   Essmjay Posted on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - 10:32 am:        SWEET!!!!   Fahren Posted on Friday, August 24, 2012 - 12:40 pm:        Yeah, and that's only the downstairs part of his new garage!!! I have a serious case of garage-envy.   Jumbo_petite Posted on Friday, August 24, 2012 - 02:21 pm:        RB "hallway"" more like closet. Rumor has it Jay Leno has put some dimensional restrictions on this new garage JP   Ratbuell Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2012 - 09:04 pm:        I don't need to go "out" with the new garage. "up" would be nice, though. I could use a taller ceiling in the workshop upstairs, for an automotive lift. Putting four tires on my 89 CSX, and front brakes. It's a LOW car, floorjacks don't like to go under it without scraping the fiberglass body kit...a proper 2 post lift would make things SO much easier...ah, well...at least everything's indoors now, like it should be And, the CSX has its first new set of tires in 23 years. Finally found someone I trusted to put tires on FIBERGLASS wheels!! http://books.google.com/books?id=vAAAAAAAMBAJ&pg=P A36&lpg=PA36&dq=fiberide+wheel&source=bl&ots=w2-G2 DsFq_&sig=QEtwmyR9FcJMDq-d-nefu6AyUPs&hl=en#v=onep age&q=fiberide%20wheel&f=false "lower unsprung weight". Hm. Now, *where* have I heard that before...?
