Sounds like you got some goobers stuck in the exhaust pipe! But it ain't gonna' go anywhere with the wheels layin' on the ground like that.

Great news JD! :cheers: and you remembered the video too, but you forgot the Hempy dance!

Hey Krepus! Thanks, Dude... But, how can you be four years behind, when I only been working on it a little over two??? :mrgreen:

Yo, Chuck-- Maybe I didn't exactly forget the Hempy dance, maybe I'm just savin' that video for later... :twisted:

Nahh, not really, I'm just a Baptist... Y'all know we can't dance... :rofl:

Thanks to both of you for comin' by, and checkin' out our little videos... And stay tuned!

:cheers:
JD Kemp

Excellent vid JD. If I close my eyes and listen to the vids, sounds like you're linin' up to the tree getting ready for a burn out to warm up the tires! Congrats!!! :cheers:

Good morning, Gentlemen (And Kiwi Dave :shock: )-
Tom about summed it up... Yeah, motor sounded ragged... It was on full rich, timing was set by eyeball (no light), MAP sensor not plugged in, and various other little things. :ack: It did kinda sound like a 3-cylinder, didn't it?!?!? I know, I know... :ack:

But still, it was a Bright Shining Moment in Slotus History, and I wuz a happy fat-boy... :mrgreen: Like I said, just hide and watch, and see what happens next! Heehee...

:cheers:

Well, maybe not that long... :wink: I saw on that "other" website that you'd passed the Real Estate Exam, so maybe things will move along faster now... Congrats on passing, too!
