We will probably need a cooling system in the Tukvan, when we drive South. We do have opening air scoops at ankle level, both sides. Is there a simple 12 volt air cooling system. We have 12 volt E power, and solar panels, separate from the engine starting battery.

I spent an extra day on the mainland wasting time. But I did do a search for lowering links for my Triumph motorcycle. And I sent a msg to my local gold club, to tell them the beer they serve, is awful.

Meanwhile I will stick with Einstein who said “ To put mass in motion requires energy, to change the speed of mass once in motion, requires energy. The amount of energy is in proportion to the mass “ We all know this as heavier things are harder to move. Motorcycles suffer from wind resistance...

I asked Edelbrock what to use, and they suggested a Performer, which is the same name they call a lot of things. I have the same carb but with a manual choke, same manifold. Electronic ignition. No mods to the stock exhaust until it fails. If the stock cam has the fibre gears, I suggest removing...

I have about 160 pounds of pressure in my 318, so I use 89 octane. Had to put 89 in my bike a week ago, and it ran quite sluggish, and sounded bad. Back with 91 and Bluzu is happy again. I think compression is about 10.5. Fuel injected.

Laundry places, and most other services are readily available using a modern phone. Or just cruise the main street. We are often in places we have never been before. I would caution about using google maps to navigate. You need real paper maps. Recently we met folks trying to get the West Coast...

BD decision has been made. Wednesday. Shirley and I will go to down town Vancouver BC. Do a kind of pub crawl. Later, starting at 1700, we will go to the local A&W, where the hot rod guys meet. There is bound to be some Mopar vehicles, possibly some guys from this site. Otherwise we have just...

I think if you ride an SL125 Honda motorcycle at 30 mph, you will get 100 mpg. Otherwise you will get to learn about wind drag, and horsepower used. At 14mpg, imperial, we are cheaper than motel rooms for the Tukvan. We can also have the fridge running, with beer in side. When I had my 53...

The distributor rotor, and the crank wheel, go clockwise on my 318. I had checked TDC with a dial gauge, to determine that the crank wheel marks were correct.Heads were off for the dial gauge check.

The pic at left, is of the Tukvan next to the Arctic Ocean sign. About 1000 miles of the road is gravel, some of it shale rock. Small tyres and rims get destroyed. We use ten ply tyres. The suspension gets a work out. Shocks get their last ride. Since that trip, I have added an extra rear leaf...

Thank you all. It has been a long time since I played rugby for Suburbs. Started in the 15B, which is a long way from the 1st division. Birthday here in BC is Wednesday. I will be 79. I am on the mainland, for a three day break from chores on my Island. A WA US motorcycle rider Steve Schaefer...

i put new tyres on my bike. And visited my boat, getting it ready to haul out. In between I am taking a three day break for my BD.

My crank wheel has the extra marks. Number 1 is a larger mark, and goes right across the wheel. The other marks go half way across, and are 90 degrees apart. I made a mark on the engine, that I line up the other marls with.

A dial gauge is cheap. Making a mounting bracket is cheap and easy enough. Turning the engine using the crank bolt works, with the plugs removed. I have no idea about a 9/16 spanner and a torque converter. Can I assume the heads are off?

We have been to Tuktoyaktuk. We know about the bugs. Amazon has the mesh jackets with full head and arms covering. We put mesh over the door window openings, so we could leave the windows down. It was warmer in Inuvik than it was on my Island. Curtesy of the sun not going down. Distance wise for...

The friendly deer stops by to visit. Tail wagging too. Baby turkeys are running about.

Grendel is a good name. 7 letters, starts with G. I have Griffon and Grolsch, both sail boats. Noddy, one of my bikes, is British racing green, a similar colour.

Edelbrock advised me to use the stock pushrods. Or they did not mention it. That is what I used, but had too much noise. They sell longer pushrods, but I got a set of adjustable rods. I will fire up in a couple of days. Need to drill a hole for the oil filler tube in the left hand rocker, and...

I worked at the boat and bike shop, top right of Skaha. lived nearby. I think the camp ground is still there. Drove thru about two years ago.

My two newer bikes get Rotela synthetic. The older bikes and the Tukvan get Rotella HD diesel oil. Probably 15 40. Lily gets Lucas 2 stroke, and the plug does not foul. Lily has an oil injection pump.
