Turtle has 4 WD with an alky burning turbine. Emits a foul smelling odor when he scoops up all the stray frogs along the Boston Marathon route. Best time so far is 10 minutes flat for the 26 miles.
I'd try running the marathon, but they don't have a class for people that want to drive the 26 miles in a Cobra!
Ron - I could ship you the left over 2 gallons of gas I have from my "non-use" of the snowblower this winter. Only used it once. Going to pour the gas into my beater Merc.
Weather forecast has changed ... only 6 days of rain out of the next 10 days.
I guess that gives me more time to work on the Cobra. Valve covers came out looking nice after 4 hours of work.
Fred - glad that you finally can give Frenchy a thrill other than with your tongue.
My Cobra really smelled of gas at an idle when I got it. Had to increase the primary and secondary jets about 4 steps after I did a tune up and set the idle mixture screws. Everybody says start with the screws 1.5 turns off the seat, but my 750 CFM carb idles best at 0.75 turns off the seat. Raw gas smell virtually non-existent now, and I can set the idle at 700 to 800 RPM.
Guess I'll go buy a new set of valve cover gaskets and install the covers. Lousy day ... been raining hard and temp about 41 °F.
