Carb linkage blues

Oh, God!

Now he's gonna wanna drive the Speedster to Miami and back!!

Glad it's cooking like new there, Capt. Dead Butt!

I think he's gonna plan a trip from Anchorage to Tierra del Fuego.

And back.

If he does THAT trip, I'll be first in line as co-driver.

Heah that, Capt. Dead Butt??

And by the time we get back, Crosby will be talking with a Boston Accent!!!!

From the Speedstah Guy, just west of Beantown!

You guys crack me up!  

As you know, Gordon, I went with a new C.B. Performance linkage, plus I had a new tab for the drivers side carb fabricated from steel in a better shape rather than the aluminum tab which was deforming, to take the left end of the hex bar and now it's almost straight accross to avoid the binding you saw  in the pix I sent you.  It works incredibly well now.  I rarely get that great satisfaction from truly fixing and improving a system on my Speedster but this time I did.

Also, I took the easy way out rather than using the nice linkage improvement kit you sent me.  I will donate the kit at the Carlisle raffle next spring so it will go to good use. 

And, the folks around here in Dogpatch already think I already have a Boston accent from working in NYC for 20 years!

Glad to see you figured it out, Jack!

Al-you were a good resource too!  I didn't figure anything out but sought help from good guys like you ---what a great resource te smart folks are here on the SOC!

Geez....If you feel that good about fab'ing up a solution to your Hex Bar problem, Wanna come up here and finish my seats?

I got tired of buying BBQ Propane so I moved the seat re-hab operation into my "Rolex Cave" where I can simply crank up the heat on the wall.  Besides, they're much easier to work with when the material is warm and can be stretched around the frames.

C'Mon UP!

Glad you got a working solution to your problem - sounds about perfect!

Here's my "Upholstery Shop" annex.  I should be finished with both seats later this week (Life keeps getting in the way...)

Daang Gordon---you are amazing.  What a man cave you have there!

Yeah, that room's pretty neat.  Has mementos from a lifetime of not always doing the "right" thing and still living to tell about it......  Bunch of stuff from when I was a kid, all the way up to Carlisle stuff (Pictures and Danny's Jumbo Beer mugs) and a whole wall of Rolex pictures (it's a small wall).  It's the only room in this house that still looks "country" with the wainscoting and fireplace, but then, I grew up in a 1730's farmhouse so it feels right. 

Now, all I have to do is finish those damn seats so I can get my Internet TV room back!!

Don't you love how I'm using an Italian Media Case under the TV as an impromptu workbench??
