I don't know why that got so much press, it's a regular occurrence.

Meanwhile, we had a little one yesterday 20 miles south of us where the New Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is under construction.

Meanwhile, we had a little one yesterday 20 miles south of us where the New Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is under construction.

We had a warm, sunny day. After all the flooding, I haven't heard a single complaint about it being in the 90s. Except for me. I'm complaining because it's so nice out after a week of rain but I can't ride today.

There is some scrap mahogany in my project woodpile that would probably work to make a shim like that. It is Honduras that I have had for more than 35 years, so it should also work well to transfer vibrations.

Where do the tubes go?

In the carburetor. SU electronic fuel injection.

I am in Las Vegas at the moment. At some point it doesn't matter if it is dry or wet heat.

Tubes get hot. Pre-ignition?
