Top idea with the buzzer. Better idea is not letting anyone
drive your Datto!
Very ironic that you posted this:
A
mate of mine came over today and asked if I could disconnect his 'La
Cucaracha' horns as he has a new girlfriend who is very classy apparently,
and he doesn't want to accidentally tap the horn (as he does frequently) and
look like an idiot.
Fortunately after he left his Zed here some of my rally mates came
over and we had a brainstorm. The Lacucaracha horns are now operated
by the reverse switch unknown to him hehehehehe. I parked it in my
front yard so he drives straight out, and where he lives he has to park on
the road.
Wish I was at the restaurant tonight watching him back out of the
undercover carpark!!!
Lacucaracha Lacucaracha, la de da de da de da........ How
romantic
Mel,
Great news that you're on the road. The dogleg gearbox is great
when you get used to it. A neat trick for the reverse gear is to fit
a small buzzer on the reversing light circuit, I did mine mainly to stop
dyno and tyre mechanics from running over their co-workers with my
Datto.
The backfiring with twin carbies is caused by
timing retarded, worn throttle shafts, air is getting past
the throttle shafts or leaking inlet manifold gasket and leaning the
mixture - either way that condition needs fixing pretty soon as damage can
result. When the points are replaced the timing needs to be set at 14-16
degrees BTDC. I'd get that done first and see what
happens.
regards
Terry

Go'er
my baby is out and about legally!! Drove to
get a Roadworthy and Rego today passing numerous police and not getting
pulled over!
I got the road worthy done and as i was
pulling out from the mechanics the car died. I was sitting there in his
driveway AFTER HE"D SAID IT WAS ROADWORTHY trying to get it to start. no
go. In the end he had a look at it and the points in the distributor
needed replacing. Pretty embarassing.
I'm having difficulties trying to get the
hang of this stupid Stanza box. I have put it ino reverse a few times at
lights. I can imagine how scared the people behind are to see my car
coming straight back towards them.
Anyway
Happy to be on the road and no doubt you'll
be hearing from me as shit falls off it and parts blow up.
Mel
P.S. Is it a problem to have it backfiring
through the carby (Twin SU"s)
