Pull the CSTY fuse if so equipped then check draw. Do You have the elec schematic? Kiwi Got a schematic in color on its way. Right now we are straightening out a rats nest of wiring and I pulled the alt/reg for a true bench test. Yesterday with the FLUKE meter, it showed a 1/10 A draw at about 10-1/2 volts. Ppats been practicing her yodeling just in case! ws

Finished up the re-assembly yesterday and added some Anti Freeze ( going down to -20F with the wind tonight!)and gave her 2 spoon fulls of gas as a primer and that bastard lit right off. After the header bolt job, there was so much oil from tapping holes and PB blaster that the shop filled with so much smoke that I had to feel my way for the door. Pretty neat. Surprised the neighbors didn't call the TRFD when I opened the big door! I wanna have it all done for the Festival of Lights in town this weekend. Thatll be the first show and its at night. Pics to follow! Soo... after the smoke cleared this was yesterday... ws
So I ran her up to 185F with the new T stat, and the chinaman alternator was giving me an honest 14.5 volts

With Willy going into the hospital on Monday and then Rehab, he should be out of the house for 3-4 weeks. I think it would be cool ( if the weather is nice) to go visit him in the Buick so he doesn't get lonely and can see her. I don't want the GSX to get cold either. Will have to think on that one. ( Also depends on if Willy sees this and hides the keys..LOL) ppat

C'mon baby.... you talk the talk, but you don't walk the walk... Don't take offense to that, but you floor that bastard one time, and youll be driving it like a little old lady from then on. You know where the keys are and that guy may just be easier to get in and out of than the toy Ford or black beauty. No electronic stuff on this one... pump the gas 10 times and attempt a start. Pump it 5 more and itll fire. Let it idle for 5 minutes and drive it away. Itll run really crummy until its really warmed up. Gotta run premiumski in it as well at 16 mpgs. FWIW... it only plays MOTOWN being from Flint, Mi. LOL... ws

Motown. If I remember that was the music the black humans played way back when. I miss the humans.

You hit it square Scott... its part of the white mans conspiracy to keep blackey down by imprisoning him. Send him up river, educate him, make a football star and rap artist outa him, and deal with the hand that WE drew. A royal flush with spades. ws
