Today I got up and started working on the steering. No luck there at all. The way the bus tie rod ends are supposed to go in kind of kills in way of making it easy to put in. If it comes down to a last resort and we HAVE to get that thing going then I’ll just weld those tie rod ends onto the spindles instead of using the nuts and we can drive that way. It’s not the best but it’ll work. The BABE Rally is the essence of ghetto rigging up things.
Secondly the motor…. it’s still not working. There’s no fuel still!! I spent about three hours fabricating up new linkage and moving the alternator a tad so that it’d all fit in there fine. Now that it does the throttle works and all but it still isn’t spewing it’s fuel out. I need to pick up some starter fluid and carb cleaner tomorrow at the store and see if I can get one of my carb friendly friends to come and get this thing going.
I will be messing with it more tonight. As for the other guys, they are at the BABE Rally Send Off Party in Orlando. I wish I could attend but I have no means of transportation to get to the party since my Jetta is down too. After I eat dinner I’m going back out to try and tweak the carb a little bit. I have a few things I can look at and fiddle with to get it to work.
