Man it's nice to see all these motors firing up these days!

Is that a Quick Fuel carby?

Nice Jeff, man all these engines firing up what a great day on Lateral-G! And yes who every took the video needs some practice.

Chris at WCAC has replaced the carb cam spring on the accelerator pump and rejetted it. After some fine tuning she is running even better.

He said it looks like the shop that built the motor just slapped the Quickfuel carb on there right out of the box. It has the stock jets (50s and 65s). He is trying 65s & 80s to see how those work. They also had the timing at 32* whith really tight spring which he feels was too conservative for this cam / heads set up. Chris thinks there is more he can get out of the motor which is great. Out of the box it dynoed 470 / 517 so more is mo better


He went to take it for a drive yesterday and one of the power steering hoses blew.

Ordered a new one along with a new fuel sending unit since it isn't reading. Maiden voyage should be later today giving him a chance to identify any bugs, season the brakes and play with the jetting some more.

Plan on heading up Friday to take her for a rip.

Another crappy cell phone video but am too excited not to share. It is soooo good to see her moving under her own power.

I think the videos are being shot with a 1 megapixel Nokia flip phone. Tomorrow I will get better pics.

It may be a strategy of theirs to just share blurry videos so you can't make out all the details

Congrats Jeff!! To me, thats the best video ever. You definitely have to be excited.
