<P class=MsoNormal>Hey, guys:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I finally had the Tiger ready to start today and, with the
help of an expert racing mechanic buddy of mine, we fired it off. It ran
great right off the bat!!!! Actually, we had everything statically set
pretty close to where it needed to be. Once we had run the motor long
enough to break in the cam, we set the timing and tuned the carb until it ran
smoothly. We had just a little mid-range flutter in the carb under no
load but, the longer it ran, the more that seemed to clear up. I’ll just
have to see how that reacts in the weeks to come.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>All is not perfect, however; we still have a couple of
problems to work out. The first is the fact that my factory original
tach reads 300 to 400 rpm higher all through the scale than it should.
We ended up having to use the tach on my engine analyzer to set the
idle. Do any of you guys know if the tach can be adjusted from the
outside of the unit while it is in operation, or am I just going to have to
send it to someone like Nisonger to get it calibrated? <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve also got a problem with my temp gauge as it was
reading hotter than it should. Actually, it has always read hotter than
the motor actually is. While we were running it today, I had my shop fan
blowing into the radiator to help cool it off. I was also using my
infa-red thermometer to check the temps at various points in the engine
compartment. The hottest reading we got was on the thermostat housing
itself with 201 degrees. The radiator and upper hose read anywhere from
165 to 174 degrees. The problem is that while all this was going on, the
temp gauge on the dash was reading 240 degrees!!!! As when I had the old
289 in the car, it never spit a drop of water, so I really don’t think that
the temp reading I’m seeing on the dash is correct. I’ve considered that
it could be the instrument voltage stabilizer, but my fuel gauge appears to
read correctly. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be?

<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks for any advice,<o:p></o:p></P>
