Upon changing last night, that diaper was fairly epic. Low marks for overall smell, but excellent marks for volume, viscosity, and tenacity! It was a good thing we were going right to bath time.

We got her started last night. Alternator needs to be replaced - again. We figured out why it was whining, and we can't fix it - I think. But the bus starts on the first turn of the key and sounds mean as hell.

Still some wiring to do. Rear lights look like a disco when you hit the various pedals.

trans won't go into reverse, but Mike says that it s a simple adjustment. it does want to go into drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It is very close.

Ken, I dont think my bike would be a good bike for you. It would be a great investment for someone, but not a good bike for a beginner wanting to ride it now.


It's all good. I want to ride, not kill myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

More productivity last night:

The shifter was not adjusted correctly which necessitated that I once again drain the pan, remove the pan and then monkey with the manual adjustment. It was WAY off. I hope I have reverse now.

I removed the exhaust pipes, wrapped them, and painted them with high temp silicon spray paint. And reinstalled. I also painted the mufflers and will install them today.

I found that the the reason the o2 sensor was not working was a wiring issue. The instructions I had were incomplete. I just downloaded the 24 page manual that has more info that I needed. Good times.

I found the tach wire that I had going to the wrong place and now I should have a working tach.

I modified and installed the side marker lights.

Now to the alternator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I took it in to trade it for another one and when they tested it, it worked perfectly and did not whine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I got another one anyway and will see what happens. I think it can only be the corvair nose cone if it still has an issue. The alt I picked up is the step up one and after trading in the old one I only paid $11 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am waiting for the correct alt fan to show up and then I will install.

What to do:
- Fill tranny
- Install exhaust
- Install alternator
- Fix O2 sensor wiring
- Paint and install wipers
- Finish seat install

Drive home????

Mike, just a thought.
At this point I think that I am going to take next Friday off (the one before Hershey). By then, you should have the bus ready to drive. I can drive up and get you in the Subaru, drive back to my house - finish whatever needs finishing on the bus. Then you drive the bus home while I chase you in the 914. Worst comes to worst and the bus is not yet ready, you can ride with me in the 914 back to Palmyra.

I will install the tow hitch so I can tow your 914 to my house (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

The quick and dirty from tonight, exhaust is in and perrrrfect. The alternator is in, I am going to get another nose cone just in case, though. It was too late to start it up and see if the whine was still there. Gotta be the cone if it is. I couldnt find the corded drill (other than the impact hammer) so I could not finish installing the seat, but there is <1hr left on that. I have one side of hte exhaust pipe done (for looks) and will do the other (<20min). Fill with tranny fluid, install wiper blades and try to move the beast.

Wed is school work so I will be home. Thurs I have someone coming over for a rebuild so that is booked. Fri I may have a date with the missus, if not then Fri will be the day I drive the bus home (I hope!).

I will post pics later after I sleep.

Oops. I needed the corded drill inside the other day, and it is down in my workshop in the basement. I'll bring it out the next time I think about it - which will probably be when you remind me that you need it the next time you are over. ;-)

All of the action last night seemed to be on the drivers side. I made up an exhaust tip for that side and began install of the rest of the drivers seat.

Last one showing how well the captains chair fits in my install. Very comfy!

Also, I wish I could find a stainless exhaust tip that had a 45* bend in it. Anyone know of a place? I havent really searched yet

Doc,

This place has lots of tips to choose from. Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but quality is excellent on the tips I got from them:
