    I had to repair and reajust the electric choke on the Solex pict 28 carburator now it starts better and idles much better when hot. Im remembering how to work on these its been 25 years. Still working on the steering for the pump I dont like how it works now. I also tightened all the chains and cut one tentioner shorter in the rear right side as I tightened it it came to close to the sprocket. The only thing I need to do now is install the intake screen to the pump then test again Sat. Maby at Beaver lake.

    Finished the advanced hydraulics class tonight and got 100% on the final. I learned how to size hyd reservoirs and coolers, all about oils viscosity, compressability, Beta sys of filters how and where to put them, fluid conductors pipe, tube and hose. How to size them according to gpm and feet per second of flow. Of course there was the math again thank God thats over.

    I thought that 4 headlight in a v pattern looked really cool 220 watts looking straight ahead. I drove it into a 4' deep pool of water and turned the pump on to go straight back (1) vid drove straight out again with pump running (2nd vid) then backed in to the river and got in the back where I could film the pump and hit the throttle at the same time. (3rd vid) will post these soon as it takes one hr to post a 32 sec vid to you tube. I also noticed that the engine had no problem reaching max throttle with the pump running and the tires moving in 1st gear so I will belt speed it a 2/1 ratio crank shaft 2500 rpm/pump 5000 rpm.
