What did you do to your Wing today ?

[Ansimp]

Glad nothing got hurt but your pride. I did the exact same thing with Red and realised halfway down that something wasn't right. It hit the ground fairly gently as I was trying to hold it back up but once you are over center there is no return and you just have to go with it. Worse still is that Red even has a fancy light to tell you that the stand is down when the ignition is on.. :doh:

A tough way to be reminded, but it makes us pay more attention next time!

:smilie_happy: opcorn: Was that an "Apple turd over"?

 

[Ansimp]

If this had been you would it have been a " Gerry Gem over" ? :smilie_happy:

Well, I worked on the vacuum leaks on the manifold, the ones at the base of the carb have been resolved. This involved pulling the carb, the adapter, and the plate I made, it was definitely warped. I used 3/4 inch plywood, gorilla glue and some other Macgiver stuff to get it looked at. But I am closer to completing a ton of major work. I heard from another member that I created a vacuum leak when I pulled the choke. I will continue plugging away at it tomorrow.

I'm still prepping for paint. I'm filling every hole an emblem went in and that is taking a little time, but it is coming out pretty nice. I'm still playing with colors.

Finished the wiring for the trailer pigtail on the 1800 when I got in from work. Don't have a trailer to pull yet, but when I do she is ready!

Got the '82 all clean and shiny.

:good: Need to do the same to the Rats Nest but it looks like rain atm, need some for the water tanks :yes:

Finished preparing the carb. Plugged assorted vacuum leaks and performed a good once over on the carb. Switched back to the solid base gasket provided with the kit. Found a "hidden" leak issue onthe wire reinforced rubber tubes. Applying torque to them via the hose clamps casuses the wire to be forced through the rubber. They just do not seal correctly. But the carb fixes really helped, it starts first crank, and idles. I also adjusted the air/idle screw.

Update on my trailer, the PO did not want to part with the receiver portion of the clever hitch so I had to fabricate my own (handy being a maintenance man with access to a commercial machine shop!)

 

[backlander]

Nice work paddy !!

 

[Steve83]

Very nice! Much better than the original!

 

[dan filipi]

Serious?
That is very nice work!

 

[Ansimp]

Very nice!! :yes:

 

[paddy.shadow]

Got up early and installed the bumper, tomorrow the wiring for all those lights and the trailer!

 

[Steve83]

:crying: Sold the '82. :crying:

On the bright side, I got what I was hoping to get for it, It's going to a really cool guy who appreciates it, there's room in the garage again, and I can take care of some needed expenses. And I still have the '83.
