3 generations at the track....

Taking a page out of Tony's book....

According to Tony doing home improvement projects produces excellent results on the track....Well we should be good thru atleast Daytona after installing the tile in the kitchen this past weekend....We all busted our asses including Devin and it turned out great...No way we can loose after all this work....LOL

What goes around comes around....

I take lots of mental notes from post I read at Bob's....Tile went real well this weekend in the kitchen....I'll post some pics in a day or two.

Brian

Animal ran very strong.....

Wish I could say the same thing about the tires and driver...LOL The track was bad dry/slick and I couldn't get the kart under him good enough...Tires were soft just wouldn't stick....I had GP tires punching about 40 on for heavy and LT/TF tires punching around 60 for lite....Ran lite at 340 and heavy at 379.....The kart didn't like the extra weight....Got to get it on the scales and see where the numbers were.....?

We didn't finish well but did much better in lite....Kart was way too loose in heavy but better in lite and could run with them (we were prolly 30 lbs. lighter than the other two karts and both of them had sticker Firestones on the rightsides) But I don't think that was it....It was prep and I know the numbers were close then...We did lower cross.

We bolted the new HT5's after the racing was over...Had the kart on the grid....Matt walked by and didn't say a word....I walked up and tapped him on the shoulder and asked about making a couple of laps....Guess what.....? He said NO.....Did I hear him right.....? We have been racing at NGMS for 5 years and I have never been told we couldn't take a few laps after the races were over....That's all I got to say about that.....

Thanx for the power Jimmy....
Brian

We need some graphics cut....

I would like to have them based on the pic below....The number we need is 68 and we will need Falcon across the front and hopefully a sponsor graphic on each side. Any takers....?

Brian

Found it.....

The problem with the animal motor that is....It was just the main jet and the fact that it wasn't on the emulsion tube...It might have fallen into the bowl and I just didn't see it or hear it hit the ground at the track...Took me awhile to figure it out....Looking at the numbers on the jets was when I found it....I figured something was supposed to be screwed into the bottom of it because it was threaded...I got the left over parts from the carb build and found the jet that fits....I didn't know squat about these carbs before the problem....I know it pretty good now...Just might be a blessing in disguise.

Well I think I found the problem.....

It won't run without the main jet...I guess somewhere between Jimmy's and the track the main jet most have fallen in the bowl....When I pulled it off at the track it wasn't on the main emulsion tube and I didn't know any better....I do now. We will try to go run it again tomorrow to see if that fixes the problem.

Brian

Blowing alky out the puke tube....?

No I didn't have too many beers....This in on our new animal motor with only dyno time on it....Ran good on the dyno....Wouldn't run after hitting the track....It cut out no matter where on the track it was....Wouldn't run full throttle for more than 1/3 of a lap (1.5 mile oval).

There was alky coming out the puke tube and alky in the oil when we changed it today....Took the carb apart today and couldn't find anything wrong inside...Nothing stopped up...Put it back together and found an empty parking lot....Still did it.

Float is set at .850 and when I pulled the plug there was alky on top of the piston.

I'm pretty sure it's getting too much fuel....I plan on moving the needle down one notch...It's in the middle slot now.

If that doesn't work what should I try next....?

Brian

It's a HOSS.....

Just got back home with the new baby....It turned out really well....It has an almost 1 of-a-kind header on it...Jimmy has the only other one and the power is right up there with a new nationl level animal from one of the best...On the dyno anyway.

Look out Daytona here Wee come...

Brian

We got to work on the Animal.....

Went down to Jimmy's on Saturday and got a good start on the new Animal motor...It's different....Metric for one...Well most bolts are metric some are still standard...? Looks like I'll need a few new tools...5mm carb tools....JC Specialties is supposed to have them....A flywheel holder (I think I can make one)....Tool to lap the valves with and to take the keepers off with....No where near as simple as the flathead....I guess I'm just used to the flathead....I'm sure the animal will grow on me....Can't wait to see him out on the track with it.

Here she is....

Devin beginning the disassembly....

Stripped down block....

Here is the billet flywheel...

Jimmy heat treating one of the rings....

Here is the carb....

and the piston...I can't think Jimmy enough for helping us thru the years...He is a hell of a guy.

Volusia aerial photo.....

Not sure where the kart track is now.....I don't think it's the 1/8 mile one that is shown here......Sure would like to see one with the sealer on the track....?



Here is another one....
