GSX#14
Alive and ready to drive!
On Tuesday July 21, 2009, The Old Guy, spent a few hours with me to hook up the
rest of the engine components only to have a starter issue, so we quit. On
Thursday and Friday, I tried to diagnose the problem to no avail,
On Saturday, July 25, 2009, Steve and Wesley came over and we
figured it out, the hot wire(battery) on the fancy new 8 lb starter was hitting
the purple wire, so the car would try to start without the key, Steve discovered
this, and I put three washers on the battery wire to try to get it away from the
purple wire, well it worked.
We put the rear of the car on jack stands, and it started right up after about
30 seconds, and ran the trans through the gears since it was all rebuilt by
Dave, but hadn't been run yet, I then put the new G60-15's on and did a
couple other details, and took it for a short ride, AWESOME, the tires make the
car look hot, like 1970!
Engine pictures are not officially the way it will look in the next couple of days, will get the chrome valve covers on and the dual snorkel air cleaner and be ready to go to the GSX Renion to be with 102 more like it! Way Cool!
My Hats are ready!
