  1. It don't. Always an interesting reminder when you forget, after you cut the self-retract nubbin off.

  2. Sounds like y'all had a great Nashville visit! For matters of clarification (Your Moderator's presumed function ), said "Mountain Dew" may or may not refer to the PepsiCo product depicted, although originally formulated by Tennessee bottlers in 1940. The lyrical reference may run deeper (into the surrounding hills and hollers) . . .

  3. That's interesting...my neighbor in Houston had a Datsun Fairlady here in Houston, and it's more like an MG2 body style rather than a 240Z. Looks like Nissan and Datsun both used the Fairlady naming convention.

  4. The paint on those GB500s was called black green by Honda. So I call mine the Black Green Meenie...

  6. Found the problem. There was a leak somewhere in the evap system. I pulled the tubes off of the throttle body taps and then plugged the taps. Runs like it should. Need to pull the tank to rid myself of all that crap. When I do that I know I'll get into replacing other stuff too. One thing leads to another...

  7. They could be distant cousins! Both working in the automobile industry! K.W. Muth Company, which later formed Muth Mirror Systems, was founded by Kenneth W. (Ken) Muth. He established the company in 1947 in his grandmother's garage. Initially, the company focused on paper-making technology but later transitioned into a wood-based manufacturer and a key supplier in the automotive industry. Muth Mirror Systems, specifically, was formed in 1992 as a division of K.W. Muth Company, focusing on LED-based signal and blind spot detection products.

  8. No, I'm pretty sure that is a different Muth. The designer Muth is most likely no longer working. He was born in 1935. Either way, there is no mention of the mirrors here... https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_A._Muth

  10. My cousin ran a propane truck, called the customer up in the hills to say "I'm coming but it'll be after dark, is that ok?" Response- "Yeah, come on, I'll make some calls..." lol

  11. Agreed. In this way, you can see what rpm the ECU (map) is seeing, and know what your specific correction value is to what the tachometer displays. The accuracy of my Speedhut conversions has spoiled me, though . . .

  12. Yes, the injected 1100 Sport-i would have at least one more relay than the earlier, carburetted, SPOrT 1100. The V11 has separate relays for the ECU and FI/coils. Plus the Start Relay and the "Headlight" Relay that handles pretty much everything besides the FI/ECU. The fifth (middle/#3) relay of the V11 Sport/LeMans is the "Sidestand"/ Neutral Relay. Not sure how the 1997 1100 Sport-i handles that function (preventing start-up in gear with the sidestand down).

  13. I had a minor vacuum leak at one of the taps that gave me a fit before finding it. Similar fits when the rubber caps had cracked and loosened on the taps. For a time, I used shortened bolts to block the vacuum access, but one time the threads pulled out and I went back to the taps with silicone caps.
