wow, it’s been nearly a month since anyone posted here! well, in that month i got the new engine in, drove it some, and even managed to have another screw fall into a cylinder! Since then it’s sat a bunch, but I’m regaining some trust in it (i don’t have much with all the trouble i’ve had). after extracting the second screw i discovered that they’re falling out of the throttle bodies when i either put on or take off the carbs. right now i’ve got it tuned ok, but i think i need to advance the timing a degree or two, but i’ll see.
in other news, i found a job! it’s for L2M Consulting Engineers, a very new division of L2M Architects. What I’ll be doing is HVAC, electrical, and plumbing design. I’m starting out part time, so we’ll see how this job goes. It has potential, but I have some hesitations. Well, it’s a start, and more $ than sitting at home!
