| hi guys- well, i spent until 1:30 a.m. wrenching Patience apart and |
back together
| yesterday, after a 120 mi. rescue mission thru the falling snow [more on that in a minute]. sure enough, the new rear main seal was |
leaking! can't
| explain it. replaced it, got her together again, and this |
afternoon i lit
| the fire. no leaks! :>) however, even with the new venturii's, |
the slugish
| throttle response remains. i then took the carbs apart, cleaned 'em [the left one had alot of crap in it, and the right one had a short metal rod laying in the bowl [???] no- it wasn't the float-rod! varooom, varooom. crap. drain the carbs, replace those big jets with stockers from a dead eldo. ahhhhhhhh! better! supposidly it's gonna be near 50* |
tues., so some
| road time! last sun., to get away from the ungrateful, oil leaking |
wench, i walked
| out of the barn and stood there having a smoke. there was a faint sound coming from the east. a sigh, sadness, wistfullness in the |
wind. strange.
| so, checking the email later in the week revealed that yes, the guy over |
by
| ithaca, n.y. would indeed drop his price [ a lot!] on his '70 ambo.- |
hence,
| the rescue mission! up thru those big hills and small towns to the township [6 houses] of Caroline, and out in the boonies [greasy,, muddy goat path] and |
there she
| was! 1 HUGE box full of stuff, a frame, a couple of wheels. painted the |
same
| neat-o white with black, and a little red as Charlie's ambo. all there. |
all
| origional. wow. Caroline. good name for an ambo. yabadaba-dooo!!!!!!! andy '72 eldo '70 ambo '72 ambo/eldo |
