Depressed
Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2019 3:44 pm
We got a 24"dump of snow here in Calgary this weekend and it dropped to -7C last night!
Forecast is to warm up by next weekend. This is not unusual for end of September and then October is nice.
Need to regasket cylinder heads as minor oil weep, but will have to replace cylinder base gasket at same time as it gets untorqued when heads removed. Triking has only done 10,000 km so expect no wear. Believe oil weep is simply age (1985). Gaskets on way from MG Cycle in the US.
Fuel sender has left the party so need to remove to photograph for Alan to see what the alternatives are. Original is marked Veglia and fits in the back of the tank. Drained the petrol yesterday and of course managed to spill some so garage smells. Will have to air out later. Did remember to get petrol proof sealant for refit of sender when sorted.
Had some issues with MG Convert parking brake binding but fixed now. Took a lot of fiddling to get it to the point where it held but did no bind. This is or was a new caliper I had in the parts bin and fitted as the original hand brake worked by pulling o the foot pedal.
The joys of Triking in the snow belt.
