Thanks guys. Its good to be on. Its getting close to spring and the camp ground opening so I got to get the cart ready. It is really going to suck not being able to be the cart guru up there this year. I promised my wife I would not work on anyones cart. I asked her if I could bring them home to work on and she said NO! Health comes first. The more I do, the more I hurt. Its the being bent over and the getting up and down off the floor that is the killer. I am still working with the Doctors and I have to have more test done. I know its bad arthritis and they think its too far advanced that the meds are not going to help the pain. The damage is done to the joints. The also found 5 bone spurs on my ankle and 2 big ones on my heal. They want to do surgery, I said no. It feels like a bad sprain. I am wearing a walking cast and it is helping alot. OK, enough complaining.
I am looking foward to getting up to the camp ground. My brother is not returning this year so I am buying his deck. I am going to add it to mine and we will have a HUGE L shape deck that will wrap around back and over look the walking trails abd creek. It will be peaceful and beutiful. I promised my wife we would also spend more time at the camper and not run around as much. It was 40-60 mile and 8-10 hours on the cart every weekend. I want to cut that in 1/2. Boy, it seams like sence I quit smoking, my healt has fallen apart. Yep guys, still smoke free since May 14th. Never cheated either. That has been my biggest problem. I am no longer hanging out in the garage. Well, enough of going on and on. Sorry COPB, I guess you are the only one that wants to see the house of CRAYOLA.
PS> Gorno, what do you mean, Interesting results? Because it has more power with HS gears? Its easy to explain. These engines were designed to run at 3300 governed rpms. That is where they preform the best at. By putting HS gears in, it lowered the rpms that it gains speed at down to where the engine runs best at, putting it in its optimal power band during acceleration. With the way my clutches are machined and springed, when I floor it taking off, the engine jumps to 3300rpms and accelerates down the road, as the clutches close in front and open in the rear, the rpms stay between 3300-3600rpms untill it reaches a point that the clutches are fully open/closed and then the rpms build to top end. Does that make sense to everyone? Before it was running higher rpms during hard throttle, doesn't mean it had more power.
