Well got the car all torn down last week end.  Pulled both the fuel filters and opened them up. Nothing there to make the car run like crap like it was.  They were clean, no sand nothing.  I pulled the injectors and took them in for a check and clean.  They could be the reason but I am doubtful (see chart) they are 100% the reason the car started running like crap.  Putting new plugs in tonight and should be able to start it up.  Run a compression check and I definitely have one cylinder that is low.

#1 120 lb   #2 123 lb
#3 112 lb   #4 122 lb
#5 125 lb   #6 130 lb

Going to run a leak down check tonight


well according to the chart looked like 3 dirty inj's and ya that one cyl is down more than most would like to see. i always thought more than a 5 psi varience on a gasser then it was time to think about a rebuild but probe 10 psi would be a better margin. did the new head go on 2 4 6 cyl's?

Not sure.

Ya,I like bringing up the rear more than leading . I get to see what's going on that way. I really don't like setting the pace. I always feel like I may be pushing others when I lead and then I just go too slow. I'm sure you have all seen me circle around to the end of the line more than once.

Well new plugs and cleaning the injectors did the trick.  Car sounds clean and crisp.  Talked to John at OutFront and he thinks the e-85 mite be too dry here in the midwest.  Said to run some injector cleaner fluid in the fuel. Something like lucas.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

i'm not real fond of leading either but if i do i can set a pace i am comfortable with lol

fast you said you like the looks of the sand bullet rails that were there so here's a 4 seater they made. i wouldn't ever build a 4 seat bike powered but someone must have liked them.
