Went for a ride

Posted in The Long Rode on August 28th, 2011 by Wade

Today I went out and got a good fuel filter.  Got home put it on and and went for a ride.  Mostly I went to fill up the tank with some Gas.  But in the mean time I thought I would actually log a few miles and I did.  I went about 7.2 miles just in the neighborhood mostly cause I wanted to stay out of traffic.  Marlin ran relay well and started with very little trouble.  There Is a front end shimmy between 30 and 55 mph but it cruses nicely at 60.  I hope the brakes just need to be de-glazed otherwise stopping will always be exiting and most travailing will be done in the Right lane. 🙁

New problems noted.

front end shimmy

tanks easy to over fill

Brakes are week

and tripometer does not work (yesterday went from 110-112 today stayed at 112).

 

I also started to polish the aluminum today.  It is sure going to take some elbow grease to get it shiny.
