thanks Carl!
After this past race, I decided that it is time for some more work...
The engine acted like it was not getting enough fuel- it popped on acceleration and didn't have full power at full throttle. I was hoping that the fuel filter was clogged with fuel cell foam. I took the filter off. There was some crap in it, but not a ton. When I blew the filter out I did notice a small amount of water in it. So, I drained the fuel cell some, as water is heavier than fuel, to hopefully remove any water that might have gotten in it from regular pressure washing.
Next I took the air cleaner off. It was time for a new one. Got a new K&N unit on the way with a pre-filter.
Next, I cleaned a PS box housing and drilled and tapped it. I have a Surplus Center cylinder that will be hooked up to it for a cheap ram assist. Hopefully that will help with the steering issues at high speed.
The nose saw some action. Had to bang the fender out. Still got to do some work on the grille and front bumper.
