I can't imagine any cleaning process getting the cooler clean enough that 
I would trust it.

I can't really disagree with that, but would note that I have cleaned out  
coolers that are too expensive to lightly replace (I use some Mazda rotary  
coolers that are very large and very, very expensive unless you find a good 
one  in a wreckers) after wiping a bearing.  A combination of solventing and 
 ultrasonic cleaning gave a result that I was pretty sure was OK.  I ran a  
separate oil filter downstream of the cooler just to be sure and when I 
read the  entrails (it was a canister style with a nice Crossland felt filter 
you could  pull apart and examine) there were no particles present.

Subject: [Vintage-race] Team.Net status
Message-ID: <20090506064701.328DC2E07C@bradakis.com>

Yes, there have been problems with the Team.Net mailing
lists, related web pages, FTP stuff and such.  And it ain't
over yet.  It should all be fine by next week, though.

The current ISP providing Team.Net connectivity along with
several other domains and network related services is Qwest.
Saturday, May 2nd, they cut off my network access.  They have
been recieving complaints about "malicious activity" from one
of my servers.  It has happened before.  The first time I
actually spent many hours on the phone over a period of
several days and found out the nature of the "malicious
activity."

Someone too lazy or too stupid to click on the 'unsubscribe'
link for one of the mailing lists was flagging all incoming
Team.Net emails as spam.  Once I finally managed to penetrate
deep into the Qwest support to find someone with more than a
single digit IQ, it took me just a few seconds to remove the
braindead A-hole from the lists to which they subscribed.

It happened again a while back, again I took the time and effort
to finally get to the root of the problem and removed the whining
piece of human debris from the appropriate list.

This time I've had enough.  It is so frustrating to have to
go through their entire little debugging script *every time*
I talk to a new person about it:


Them:  What operating system are you running?

Me:  Unix, FreeBSD 6.2

Them:  No, I mean are you running Vista, XP or Windows 98?

Me:  Like I said, I'm running Unix, FreeBSD 6.2.  I am NOT
     running Windows, just like I told all the other ...



You know, a lot of people who just use computers as a basic
appliance would not understand the details of that conversation,
they have no need to.  But tech support people working for a
major company like Qwest?  How do people that incompetent get
through the first job interview?  Do they have anyone on their
staff who can even *spell* Unix??

At any rate, the problem that Qwest claims I have is still
not resolved, they will most likely once again cut off my
network access soon.  As I said, I've had enough.

On Friday, May 8th I will be changing from Qwest to XMission,
located here in Salt Lake, for Team.Net ISP service.  The
changeover will result in Team.Net services being unavailable
for a few days.  IP addresses, nameserver data, etc. will take
a day or two or so to percolate through the network.

So expect sporadic service over the next few days, but it should
all settle down by early next week.

Thank you for your patience.

Message-ID: <8CB9C91BD6134E6-DF8-13B3@webmail-stg-d08.sysops.aol.com>

I have a 948 Bugeye with 2 1 1/4 inch SUs.? I have been running the car for 10 years and have earned the nickname "Grenade".? I rebuilt the motor this winter with new rings, bearings, valve job etc.?

In the first outing this last weekend it was missing in the 4500 to 5500 rpm range.? It then cleared up and ran great from 5500 to 7500.? In that mid range it spit a gas vapor out of the carbs and drenched the air socks.? I checked for a vacuum leak, changed plugs. cap,?rotor, MSD box?and wires.? It runs too good from 5500 and up to be a spark problem.? 

Why would the carbs (one more than the other) send a mist back out of the carb?? Any experience out there?? I checked the needle valves and they shut off the gas and float levels are consistent and normal.? I am out of ideas.? I also had to replace the springs on the centrifugal weights in the distributor.

Recent experience with my Honda S800 race motor, when it suddenly started
farting back through one of the carbs found that it was a valve problem. I
suggest you check your valve clearance, you may have bent one at 7500.

The move has commenced, as I've been shuttling stuff every day, but clearly
I 'm going to need a LOT of help.

 

A couple guys might be up this Sat.  More would be good. please confirm if
you're available.

 

After that, every weekend will be shop moving efforts until the end of June,
so, if you can help, please let me know.

 

For those of you that don't know, I'm in WI, an hour north of Milwaukee.

 

Thanks.

It is the last day of May, tomorrow is the last day you can post your entry
to the PVGPA Historic races at BeaveRun and still get the discount! In
today's world it is probably the best deal in Vintage Racing! If you opt for
the full 3 day package you will get more driving time than you may have
tires for! We have all sorts of things planned from our included trackside
reception on Friday to the optional race dinner on Saturday. On Friday the
kart track will be open and we are working on having that open all weekend.
If we can entice enough mini's to come out and play we have a separate race
for them. Since we offer full refunds there is no reason not to send in your
check today. (remember it is made out to PVGPA and so a portion of it is tax
deductable - how much is between you, your accountant and God) OUR REFUND
POLICY IS THUS - IF YOU DO NOT PUT A WHEEL ON THE TRACK ON Friday OR
SATURDAY YOU GET YOUR ENTIRE REFUND. IF YOU PACK UP FRIDAY NIGHT AND GO DO
NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY MORE ACTIVITIES WE WILL REFUND THE RACE WEEKEND
PORTION - IF YOU WANT TO HANG AROUND FOR THE WEEKEND BUT YOUR CAR HAS DIED
BEFORE THE FIRST SESSION ON SATURDAY WE WILL REFUND JUST YOUR ENTRY FEE.


 

 We are planning a big Trans-Am race so we really want to see all of the
classic sedans out there. At this particular race we have a spot for a
number of cars that are not normally seen at VRG events. One that comes to
mind is air cooled Super VEE.

 Great racing, great fun, and great charities that your entry fees are going
to. A perfect summer weekend!

 

 For more information forms, links, etc please go to www.cloverleaf-auto.com
and click the vintage racing link - click the BeaveRun link next and you
should find all you need there or a link to where ever you may want to go -
VRG, PVGPA, etc

 

 Thanks and I expect to see you there
