From larryross67 at gmail.com Tue Mar 5 15:20:21 2024 From: larryross67 at gmail.com (Larry Ross) Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2024 17:20:21 -0500 Subject: [WPTA] Slot Car Racing Message-ID: Slot Car Racing by Jim Keenan So, here?s the deal. The event will be held on Saturday March 9th. Arrive at my house (7921 Cliffview Dr. Poland, OH 44514) around 11:00 am. I will serve lunch around 12:30. We will play/race until everyone has had their fill. Drinking and driving is encouraged at the slot car track, so bring your beverage of choice. The track is 4-lanes and approximately 115 feet in length. It is hand routed on super smooth MDF board. There is digital timing that records lap times to the thousandth of a second. Also, there is a 20 amp, 0-20 volt adjustable power supply. The hand controllers have adjustable dynamic braking and sensitivity control. It is a serious piece of kit. *Since I will be providing food, an rsvp would be appreciated. * *You can: call or text me @ 330 402-0707 or email at mij57@ msn.com . * I hope you are able to join in the fun. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The really neat thing about Weber DCOEs is they are basically infinitely adjustable, with all the different emulsion tubes, main jets, idle jets, choke sizes and such. The really bad thing about the DCOE is that it is infinitely adjustable, and can be quite expensive and time consuming going through different emulsion tubes, main jets and such looking for the right combination. If possible, hook up with someone in the club who has some experience tuning the carbs and can get you close, before you spend a fortune on calibrated brass bits. If I lived nearby I would be glad to assist, with my little tackle box with $1,000 worth of jets but Salt Lake City is a long ways from Pennsylvania. Hopefully you can find someone closer to assist you. mjb.

I love the TR3 and you have followed the advice of most long-time WPTA members which they've also shared with me - buy the best car you can afford and spend more time driving. It makes sense to enjoy what we've earned in life and our children are smart enough to figure it out after we are gone. I may have missed it but please share a picture of the new car.

First of all, as a long time (55 years) MGB owner and wrench/restorer/racer/what have you, why would someone put a DCOE on a stock MGB? You?ll get much better drivability from a pair of SUs. I don?t know anyone in WPTA, or in the Greater Pgh. MG Club who can help you with that carb. You might contact Jim Boffo (Boffo Motors), in New Brighton. Jim might be able to help. Also, there?s a guy up on route 8 (Don Fowler, I think). Do NOT entrust those clowns at Foreign Traffic with anything. Period. Where are you located, by the way? Bud Osbourne From: Wpta On Behalf Of Jim Thornton via Wpta Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2024 6:51 PM To: del_tech at verizon.net Cc: WPTA List Subject: Re: [WPTA] TR3 I love this. I am a new MGB owner and trying to learn what I can. I love the car but having some issues with idle and backfiring. The car is a stock 78 (recently restored), with a DCOE carburetor. No choke. Seems to start with a low idle so the engine rocks a good bit. Once it warms up it is smooth. The concern is have is when I go into a turn in 2nd gear, and press the accelerator, she bogs, and bucks, and backfires. To get through I need to apply clutch and feather the throttle. Anyway, anyone have some advice on tuning the DCOE? As I said, I love the car. Just not happy with how it runs in certain conditions. BTW, if this email is not appropriate, please let me know. New to the car and the WPTA Thanks.

I?ve heard that people are less interested in that particular destination...which I totally get. This year, to catch up before Tune-Up Season let?s give The Foundry Table & Tap a shot. It?s right on the North Side (or North Shore, depending on how long you?ve lived in Pittsburgh), so it?s fairly convenient to wherever you?re coming from. There is street parking in front, but also plenty of large surface lots between the stadiums. Be there at noon Saturday March 23rd and look for some familiar faces! The Foundry is located at 381 N Shore Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15212. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
