Had a terrifying event with sticking throttle linkage today- the stupid thing hung in the torsion spring for the trunk! I was driving hard, let off gas and slammed the clutch to shift when - rrrsssssss- 7K rpm before I got shut off! Well..... no carnage. no hideous noises. Straghtened out the linkage problem. No apparent ill effects. Are the valves gonna pop apart next week? I have not found one yet, but wonder if there is a rev limiting rotor available for a mallory dizzy? Should I expect horrible things to happen soon? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

While at our 2nd AX this last Sunday I thought I was hearing valves or "A" valve. It was my last run & Punkin was runnin great. Got into the slow down area when I
heard it tapin' L O U D (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I shut it off & sat there a few minutes. Re-started & it was still there. (the fairies din't fix it) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Listened to it with Jim C & Craig (Camp914) & it just happened to get louder with them hollerin "shut it off..... shut it off" . So, here I sit...... Punkin-less (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) ...........b |
