    It was just a little EXPLOSION

     



    I'm getting my roadster ready for our annual club run up to San Loise Obisbo. Just the normal stuff change oil, tune up I use the Fast computer co. computer to manage the electronics. We were trying to get the mileage up a little and we went a Little to lean in just one spot and bang. So I get the parts back from the machine shop Wednesday.

    Big ouch!...why is it when you're trying to get on your way to the show or the track, this crap happens?
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

    Memo to self: Forget wanting to build a blower motor.


    Jeez Ken, really sorry to see that happen. I never knew they would blow that way under normal usage. Seen dragsters do it at full bore, but..............

    Good luck with the next one.
