| Problems were encountered, but we also
had a lots of great time. |
| Notes made during this test run: |
-
Charger support broke during Saturdays runs. It was fixed and improved
by adding two more bolt holes instead of one it had originally.
|
-
Contact breaker switch wears out rapidly. Breaker already replaced, but
has to watched in the future. Maybe replace distributor with breakerless
unit ?
|
-
Throttle lever could be moved to other side of steering wheel. Now it's
difficult to operate throttle and bow ports at same time as they both are
most conviniently operated with right hand.
|
-
When gaining speed my Explorer bounces slightly nose up, nose down, nose
up... According Barry Palmer this indicates that i haven't trimmed the
partition skirt enough. This doesn't occur all the time so it's not that
much of a problem.
|
-
Wiring of RPM indicator has to be checked. Starting of electric fuel pump
caused engine to rotate at 1500rpm (according RPM indicator) and applying
just 1/4 or 1/3 of throttle bursted engine to 8000rpm (again according
RPM indicator). Something wrong there.
