Also, a good first step would be to remove the vacuum 'dashpots' and inspect the jets for out-of-round; if the jets are off-centered for long they will get oblonged and the needles might have a flat spot, making fine-tuning difficult. I only have HD8s but, IIRC, the jet-centering collars can only be reached, for all practical purposes, from underneath (not an easy task). Not as cheap as they used to be, but this little kit has come in handy, and it has a plug used for centering the jet collar that works well and they can get 2-3 carbs reasonably well-synchronized. https://mossmotors.com/386-300-carburetor-tool-kit-su?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtsy1BhD7ARIsAHOi4xYxV1_gx0C6U51f4fS5rS9FuYhAwbsD9dnKWxoYGi_BtM3jJp2oQ3IaArpvEALw_wcB bs On 8/7/2024 7:39 AM, warthodson--- via Healeys wrote: > The fall rate test is for the piston fit in the chamber not the > centering of the jet(s) on HD6's. > The air cleaners need to be removed, not easy on a tri-carb setup, to > gain access to the jet centering fittings.

It was sent to AHCA members and not to this list, which is a good thing, so I'm thinking someone got into the AHCA data base and sent out these blanket emails.

You mention that it appears to work OK. The usual charging voltage is around 13,2 V-13,8 V. If that is what you get leave well alone. Your battery will live longer. A higher voltage may lead to gassing (Hydrogen and Oxigen, very volatile). The charging voltage should never exceed 14,7V. 14,2V would be to high for my liking. More is not always better.

Trip tracking? After-theft recovery? Other? What kind of upfront and/or ongoing costs are you willing to endure? The answers to the above might make a difference in what you get. I?ve used a Byonics TinyTrak and had good results. As you can see from following the link it?s an APRS tracker, meaning it operates on the US amateur radio 2-meter band. As such, one does need an FCC amateur radio license to operate this unit. The lowest level (Technician) license will suffice and there is no longer a morse code requirement, in case you?re wondering. I studied for a couple of hours and passed the test with no issues, and a license is good for ten (10) years. Once you are licensed there are no ongoing fees to use the system. A nice feature of this unit is it stores or caches its data as you drive along, so if you are out and away from any repeaters it will still report a complete record of the trip. I used it in May to track my trip to California Healey Week, and was able to see my travels from Las Vegas to San Luis Obispo, CA, to and around the San Francisco Bay Area and back to Las Vegas over about ten (10) days. I?m pretty sure there were places driving across the desert where I was out of reach of any repeaters, but the data still showed up just fine. I use https://aprs.fi to display the nearby stations and my track when one is available, but there are other websites that offer the same basic service. Separate but related to using a 2-meter tracker is combining the tracker with a voice transceiver. Doing so would allow replacing CB line-of-sight radios with 2-meter radios that can utilize the wide-spread and free repeater network ? greatly improving communications between cars traveling together. On the other hand [away from the free APRS system], there are commercial services that will provide trackers that use cellular phones and/or private networks to transmit the data. Obviously, those come with a monthly fee. ----------------------------------- All the best, Al Fuller From: Healeys On Behalf Of Warren Dietz Sent: Friday, August 23, 2024 5:45 AM To: banjojohn via Healeys Subject: [Healeys] Vehicle Tracking Devises Looking for a tracking device for the Healey.

In the mid 80?s ? at the time that leaded fuel was being phased out, we discovered a crack between 2 adjacent valve seats when doing the engine?s 1st rebuild. It needed those 2 seats done, and since everyone was worried about what unleaded fuel would do to our engines, I made the decision to install hardened seats on all 12. I started the engine out on unleaded fuel, and never did run leaded. Normal valves ? hardened were not available at that moment. The engine ran beautifully for approx. the next 100,000 miles, at which point we did another rebuild in conjunction with a ground up restoration. When the engine was taken apart, very little wear was evident in the head ? the valves were still good, only needed a normal careful grind. We were pretty surprised that the head looked that good after that mileage. Note also that sintered bronze valve guides were installed as well ? apparently a no no according to some people. They must have been sized perfectly because there was no apparent wear to either the guides or the valve stems, and they were left as they were (other than the grind). The 2nd rebuild now has appox 25,000 KM?s on it with no issues. It?s a sweet running engine in stock form. (yes ? I scored an OE metric speedo head several years ago and run it just to be obtuse!)

Allegedly a serendipitous side effect, TEL causes thin elemental lead deposits to build on exhaust valve seats which offered protection--a sort of cushion--from erosion of the seat onto the valve backside of the valve (and does somewhat cool the valve). I have never come across anything that attributes the need for TEL to 'poorly designed' ignition systems (I'm open to evidence). ICE aircraft engines have used magnetos almost from Day 1--SS systems have been tried but generally found lacking--and most engines have two (they'll run on one, but produce more power and run smoother on both). A properly tuned magneto will throw a massive spark and they are quite (necessarily) reliable (dirt track cars, for one, still use them, requiring push starts). They're usually timed at 20-25deg BTDC and have no provision for advance/retard. Modern small engines, from chainsaws and lawnmowers to quads, use a form of magneto, driven and timed off the crankshaft. I sometimes tell people piston aircraft engines are glorified lawnmower engines. Gasoline for ICE aircraft--'avgas'--still contains a significant amount of TEL; enough that, in some lower-compression engines elemental lead can form on spark plug electrodes causing misfiring, which can be burned off with a short ground run at high RPM at max lean condition. There is considerable research ongoing to create a suitable replacement for TEL in ICE aircraft engines and, IIRC, there is a mandate from the FAA to remove it (someday). The major engine manufacturers, Continental and Lycoming, are quite resistant as they get enough lawsuits already. Since ICE aircraft cylinder heads are aluminium they have always required inserts. As for conspiracies, Henry Ford initially wanted to use ethanol--he could refine his own, like he tried to make his own rubber in S. America--as fuel for his cars, but someone--I believe it was Rockefeller--'convinced' him to use gasoline which, at the time, was a nuisance byproduct of the refining process of kerosene for lamps. See also: How Ford and Firestone conspired to 'kill' public transportation in US cities. On 8/25/2024 10:23 AM, Hank Leach via Healeys wrote: > I do not recommend that you do hardened seats.

You can certainly get by without the inserts in a lower compression engine that isn't run hard but, if you're doing a head job then why not? The risk of cracking is legitimate, that's why you need a good, experienced machinist to do it; a good machinist will recommend against it if he's encountered problems with similar heads.

Your BJ7 should be the exact same set-up. The metal cover has the three indents at the base ? two on one end and one on the other. It prises off quite easily with a screwdriver. I use one with a fine-blade long-handle. I?m overhauling two DB10 relays at present. Any easy task using a points file.

This goes for any contact points, be it ignition, fuel pump, relays etc. Remove all burnt pits (black spots) . Try to achieve contact over the whole surface of the points by closing the contacts while pulling the single layer abrasive paper through the points.
