My first car was a 62 Austin Healey Triple carb that was Healey Blue , and i would take the seat bottom out and blast around the back roads.would love to have it now
This is # 2 of my top four sport cars in my life, # 1 is a Bugatti, one that I saw at the Detroit Auto Show years ago. # 3 is the AC Cobra. # 4 is the MG TD. But I do love my 2003 Miata MX 5. It was my retirement present to me after 46 years on the job. Only has 22k miles on it. Never been driven in the rain or snow, washed 5 times.
Very helpful series, I’m getting the symptoms of vapour lock on my 85 Rolls Royce Silver Spirt in normal temperatures. Could it be fuel filters are needed?
I didn't even know positive ground was a thing. I'm so confused. My BMW R1200RT has a wire going from the red battery terminal to the frame. That blew my mind.
A MYSTERY !!! New motorcycle runs GREAT on 87 octane and Castrol 10W-40 synthetic oil. 600 mile service, still runs GREAT on 87 octane and Castrol 10W-40 synthetic oil. 1806 miles, 87 octane and Castrol 10W-40 synthetic oil. ENGINE KNOCKS. This time a Full tank of 93 octane and Castrol 10W-40 synthetic oil. STILL KNOCKS. This is on a Triumph bonneville 1200 engine. Seems to be a common occurrence on these all over the world. So it can’t be the gas or oil obviously. England had very high octane fuel but they still knock. We were thinking the cam-chain tensioner but the oil is always the same. High octane fuel doesn’t eliminate the knocking. Tried that myself just yesterday. The only thing I can come up with is a software problem with the ECU during the service at the dealership. Considering this is the common denominator because the bikes are serviced at different dealers in different countries BUT connected to the same mainframe in London to Triumph headquarters that effect the bikes that get ECU updates. From the information given in this video if the timing is off, or the mixture and the timing is off, the result is a misfire. What else could it be ????? Triumph tells us it’s normal but my these bikes run GREAT other than this knocking. People have tried valve adjustments, with no difference. Keep in mind these are NEW motorcycles. Help please ……..
A good video for the amateur. However people get into trouble when they don't know and they don't understand whether their generator has an internally earthed field or an externally earthed field. Never polarise your generator from the regulator box. Remove both the wires from the generator and polarise the fields at the generator. You will need to know whether the generator has an internally or an externally earthed field. If you try to polarise the field at the regulator box and it is externally earthed field, then you are shorting battery to earth if you tap the field terminal instead of the dynamo terminal.
I look at this picture and I can say. I had some of it. I had a 1970 Spitfire in Maple brown, and even though I didn't get the airplane, I was still able to become an aircraft mechanic. At the age of 74 I can look back and say, I'm glad I didn't wait. Wait for anything in life. I indulged my self, and I still am. And some days when I have nothing better to do, I look at something like this picture and I smile.
