2024 Spring Ride Official Post. We shall be holding forth from Franklin, NC once again this year. The dates are May 16-19th and lodging at the Rodeway Inn, https://maps.app.goo.gl/zKsEQjNkrWFJZ1xD7. I don’t have any special rates to speak of at the moment. Donna spoke to someone when she booked her room and they said to go ahead and book and we’ll sort any special pricing out when we arrive. There is something going on in town those dates so book A.S.A.P. I believe, and someone correct me if I’m mistaken, but I believe this is our 20th TMAC. Last year should have marked the 20th, but the cancellation of the 2020 ride negated that. Can’t wait to see y’all there!

You guys were right when I said I was selling my 2007 RWB 25th a few years back. You will regret it. LOL I still miss it. Now my 2014 Stormtrooper is a beauty in its own right. That RWB with fully exposed rear wheel, white wheels and under tail exhaust was pure perfection. Man do I love VFRs.

I got to synchronizing the starter valves again. Luckily I took pictures of the gauges when I first did the sync. Here are the results. It looks like cyl 4. was loosing quite a bit of vacuum. The MAP sensor was reading lower than expected vacuum and ECU was over fueling. Maybe it being the datum for syncing made the overall situation even worse after others were synced to match. This might be a crude way to test if the valves need adjustment. Cyl 4. was way out on the exhaust valve. 0.25 measured, 0.35 spec. The intake was close to the limit at 0.18 measured, 0.20 spec. This one is the best cylinder to draw conclusions from because it's vacuum was never adjusted, as it cannot be adjusted, it's the datum. Other cylinders have restored a significant amount of vacuum, their clearances were all over the place.
