Default Re: Making a Run to the LA Roadster Show and Beyond

Tim - we went through a dust and tumbleweed storm that went by so fast and came up on us fast that you could not see a thing. I had a big piece if tumbleweed that got stuck under the axle of my car. Must have dragged it along about 30 miles or more! I run the small flatjack filters that sit in the scoop, not just the screens ...

We did find another piece of tumbleweed in the back carb bowl but since I run progressive, it did not factor into anything, and several pieces sticking in the carb filters. Should a storm like that come up again, I guess I will have to run some checks in the carbs .....

Tom - Glad to hear you cleared that snafu with no major hang-ups. We're going to have to start calling you "The Tumbleweed Kid" or some such thing.

Ted
