Boyd is right - registration at Landing Sports Center - 45530 Spadina Ave. Sounds like they escort you into downtown area.

Bobb / Roger.....looks like weather on Sunday will be OK. If you guys are planning on entering the show, guess we will need to meet at registration area so we end up parked together ?

Hy britcon, Roger and I will discuss our participation at supper tonight, but if the weather is going to be okay I think roger will go (I don't have anything driveable at the moment). I'll let you know how the discussion goes.

Hy britcon, Roger and I will attend the show, we will leave my place at 8:00 a.m., that will put us there at 8:25 a.m. or so. For you guys Spadina is the second light after the railway overpass, you can stay in the left lane and go on to Main street, and turn right on Spadina, which is the first light you come to on Main street, I hope that is understandable.

Hi Bobb / Roger.
How about meeting us closer to 8:00 ?
We are travelling with a friend of Boyd's who is meeting with his buddies around then. Also gets us more into the center of the action ?

Hy Guys, as I/we have no idea why they are fixing a system that we didn't realise was broken, and according to what we have seen in print we will be held at the registration area until 9:00 a.m., when we will be "escorted" to our parking area, we didn't see any need to hurry over and wait. We will do our best to hook up with you guys when we arrive at the registration area. No one knows just what is in store for tomorrow re registration and parking so we'll just have to see how they're going to play this. Hope to see you tomorrow!

Hi Bobb.........looks like it will be Boyd & Sue only tomorrow.
I have been having issues with the carb. all afternoon. Truck is stalling at every stop light. Hard to restart / acts like its flooded. Think I may have washed some dirt into the carb this morning ?. Tried resetting idle speed and idle adjustment needles to no avail. Gonna pull it off tomorrow and check floats / needle valves I guess.
Sorry to miss the show !

There was an odd way to the moving.The staging area was a free-for-all.None of the organizers seemed to be in-charge,but all of them had some intructions for you.I ended moving in with a bunch of El Camino's.It took them so long to park,I shut my engine off.Then was told,no,no,you don't park with them,You keep driving up the street and find a spot up there.??????.We were parked with a bunch of Camaro's who largly ignored us.The band sucked. However we knew others in the show and had a good time visiting.

We know what he was referring to,but not why a person from Ontario felt we should know about it.It had nothing to do with the topic

Hi Ted........90 % fixed. I ended up rebuilding the carb. Can't seem to find the sweet spot between idle mixture, and idle speed.
Also need to adjust the electric choke a little. It runs and has stopped stalling out - idles too fast. More tweaking req'd.

I find that a challenge too. I am still have intermittent sticking at fast idle but I am sure the throttle rod needs to be adjusted because it got worse when I screwed down the pedal to the floor. Good luck!
