yes, sort of. I've got 3 or 4 threads in Exploreoz forums.good reading this is the first one- http://www.exploroz.com/Forum/Topic/130865/Building_an_ultra_ultra_lightweight_caravan_Tips_welcome.aspx the second one- http://www.exploroz.com/Forum/Topic/131380/Light_Caravan_build_complete.aspx?ky=&sn=&...

haha. two offers to date from tyre kickers both $28,000. From now on I'll be screening buyers for their seriousness. It annoys me that a trike, an obvious show winner with trophies to prove it and overseas accolades has offers that are the same price as a VW trike with an inferior engine more desira...

I like the jerry can idea. ha. I'm quirky and suffer burnout. eg I've owned ...well I stopped counting cars I've owned at around 90. Included in these are - Datsun 2000 sports convertible, FJ Holden, Holden Tigra steel top convertible, Simca, Valiants, Golf diesels etc. Now, none of them inspire me....

The van was built as lightweight as possible and at 450kg that's light with toilet. Had a camper. Wait till you're 60yo Andrew , canvas and erections are less appealing . rear engine trikes can't tow much. Front wheel lift. Towing a van around the eastern states weather is an issue. Jba sports car m...

Sat in a TD2000 today. Couldn't get out of it!!! So that's the end of that idea. Then emailed a guy selling a MGTF replica (fibreglass job from NZ) he said the same thing would happen to me with his car if I was over about 110kg....I am So the next idea is a JBA kit car from the UK. Hoping they are ...

Looking at a td2000 or mgtf replica with mx5 engine. Good stylish tow car for an infant grey nomad lol

:-(:-(With regret I am selling my beloved trike. Multi award winner including USA trike of the month, UK trike of the month and Australian trike of the year 2012. And several trophies. This trike is unique. Its roof is a one off. The most comfortable trike in the world. 2008 Panther wildcat automati...

yes, bungers didn't reply. The way of the world nowadays I suppose, not that it is acceptable. People go to a lot of effort to reply/respond and then nothing??? I get emails from this site if there is a reply, then reply quickly. This is good as I'm not near as active here as I used to be. Building ...

Gidday SB I havent been active for some time. The result of getting my recoed ea81 running reliably and economically. Bennie was here one day with Sunny (Brumby ea81) and we compared his timing and the location of the crank key and it was how I described it. So unless your "S" engine is different I'...

You could always fit a supercharger as I did. Got a Delorto side draft and a Toyota SC12. Made up my own manifolds. forget water injection it only complicates things. Recalibrate your disty. 100+ HP ATW as shown on the dyno. Tuning was an issue. The set up was "draw through". If I had gone the other...

Yep, sorry.

As you all know I've had mt ea81 sorted well after its full rebuild.

Soo, now its like a brand new engine. So there is nothing to say. It is just going without issues and likely be this way for 30 years.

Sorry, I have nothing to report.

People in their 80's and 90's now, 30 years ago didn't like the cars of the 80's. "They're full of plastic" - they had no thought that if all cars were so built they were less likely for injury due to collapsible sections "They are too light" - they thought the weight of a Ford Customline was a good...

So maybe all ea81 owners should just EJ it, (just in case they didn't hear me- "EJ IT!!!!" lol I believe, unless people are flushed with funds, that there comes a point of no return, a fork in the road where you either stay with the ea or go EJ. Once you've made your decision its a given you'd stick...

All sorted. Lesson..look at the plugss in daylight then you see the brown colour.

so after 100's of kms mainly freeway riding I checked the plugs and they are white. Ideal of course is light tan. This makes me think the engine is running lean. I have a 60 as primary idle jet and 145 as main jet. Should I raise the idle to 65 or the mains to 150 or both.? your thoughts. Apart from...

95 fuel. I really don't want to go 98. reason being 1/ cost 2/ it seems to run a little harsher but only a little 3/ have had 98 in it and performance isn't any better. 95% of my riding is done cruising. all that 98 fuel going down the gullet of the carb for no real improvement me thinks. By the way...

maybe matt, the good news is- under 10L/100kms is achievable (I have an auto trans) because I mad eit happen today. Rode to Phillip Island and return for a trike club run. one leg was 110-115 kph and maintaining that speed up hills and used 39 litres of fuel. 30mpg. Best economy yet achieved. on my ...

After so many adjustable and electronic devices to turn on/off thermo fans in all my cars over the years I returned to the good old sender in the radiator. Got a 88 degree one with 82 degree thermostat. Relay, fuse. That's it. I run a relatively small Alfa 33 radiator on the trike and thermos rarely...

Got it, thankyou. I read somewhere that your "airs" should be roughly 60 more than your mains. Up the mains say 2 or three sizes and you should up the airs one size. So me thinking Toonga that 210 on the secondary mains should bring with it an air at least 220 or more. Could be where the economy is ...

Yes, its ben done before. But it takes quite a lot of study and searching to find all the information needed to get your head around the weber and its features and methods to tune it. Thanks to Tambox for lending me the Weber Carburettors book. Great info into how the carbie actually works. A little...
