Spring break 2016 & mechanical issue
#12

Yesterday I changed the filters, disconnected the waste gate, and reattached the wire to the unknown fuel valve.  It ran great for the 2.5 hour drive up to Pine Grove Furnace State Park, PA.
I really like the extra few pounds of boost, I'll have to do some reading to see what the safe limits are.
I was running 25lbs at 1750 rpm, up hills at 70.  Factory was 22lbs and it took almost 2000 rpm to get there.  It ran at least 50 degrees cooler on the EGT.

We're exploring the Gettysburg area until Saturday then heading home.

Work for me and school for the kids on Monday.   Sad
