[TR] Shakedown drive questions

[David Templeton]

As reported, I have been doing shakedown runs with the ‘3a, getting in the 100km shake out and seeing where everything is.  What I have so far


  *   5w-30 and cheap oil filter swapped out for VR-1 20-50 and much better filter.
  *   Gearbox oil drained ( unknown vintage ) and Valvoline MTL filled ( very quiet now 😊)
  *   Looks like my attempt to adjust the fuel gauge is not working completely.

But some things I have noticed during and after a drive


  *   After even a short drive, open the hood and vapors, do not know if it is steam or smoke is coming out of the valve breather….What is that?
  *   Cruising along in 4th at about 100kph/60mph, give a little more gas I hear, what is badly described as a ‘pinging’ of ‘tinging’.  I am thinking the dizzy is advancing too far?  Or not far enough?
  *   Looks like the MTL being a little thinner and as such is “weeping” from places 😊
