Registration opens at 7:00 !!! Park you at 9:00 / Show opens around 11:00 am Boyd and I are planning on attending if weather holds. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 843 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 843 | The registration is in a different place than we are used to.Not downtown anymore | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | Boyd is right - registration at Landing Sports Center - 45530 Spadina Ave. Sounds like they escort you into downtown area. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | 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 ? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | 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. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | 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. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | 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 ? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 119 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 119 | They were better as the Collectors before they changed their name to Chilliwack | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 843 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 843 | They were better as the Collectors before they changed their name to Chilliwack that's most helpful.That should help plan our day. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | They were better as the Collectors before they changed their name to Chilliwack Must have gone to the Rob Ford school of comedy ! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | 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! | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | 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 ! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy britcon, sorry to hear/read about your carb issues, good luck with your repairs.

However we knew others in the show and had a good time visiting. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | Guess Bobb & Rogers assessment was right !

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 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! | | |
