Hi, has your accelerator cable throttle-end attachment got a little allen key bolt holding it on? Mine does, as I discovered recently when I wanted
to change it - it's frayed at the engine bulkhead panel, and there's a lot of freeplay in the pedal. I also suspect that I can't actually
'floor' it anymore, as in give it wide open throttle.
But she still runs very fine! Good old bus.:kiss

I feel a little bad cause I have had Vern since January and have done nothing besides get a new clutch and paint him.......no tinkering in the engine
bay just get start and off we go. Have noticed a little puff of smoke occasionally when starting so that could mean I am up for some work maybe. I
have no clue so I'll just wait till something happens. |

yeah I think Iwas lucky and got one that was in pretty good nick. If it does stop I am rooted I kinda know the the basics but probably not enough. I
suppose thats whats RACQ is for.
I will give Vern a holiday when I take the family to the Gold then Sunshine coasts for 3 weeks ...in 3 weeks time. I have to take the other car you
guys call RICERS
How embarrassing |

Good for you. No such luck here! My bus broke down the first time I drove it after taking it home! Some sort of problem with the fuel pump I think.
Had it fixed, got ripped off. Yay.:cussing
We almost got stuck in a dry area of SA near the Flinders Ranges (my sister and I) later on. There was something seriously wrong (still, even after
being ripped off by the mechanics): we had a top speed of forty, occasionaly more. I think two cylinders weren't working, but we never found out the
real reason. As far as I know, the problem still exists, though the symptoms are different these days. Actually, since I had the timing done (I
don't know how to do that!), and did the valves (easy), all seems well. The test will be next time I fill up halfway through a trip!
My experience has been that I learnt heaps because she was playing up so often. It kinda aggravated some people I was travelling with (the slow pace
and often stopping), but not me - I took it as a learning experience.
So perhaps, if you're keen, buy a clapped out old bomb some day and keep a tool box in the ... car somewhere.

Wow, yikes. It's just started p***ing down! Thunder and everything! And I have to ride home. It's been really warm here, like 20 degrees or something, all day! Remember you lucky northerners, this is melbourne, so
20 is good for this time of year. All right, I love a good storm!

Been a lovely day here in Sydney.... very warm.
Well I am at home holding down the fort while Matt is next door at the neighbours piss-up. At least I got to go over there and have dinner and chat
until Jack got too tired.
Think I might hit the sack soon. Had another bad night with Jack so I am in need of some sleep. |

Hi Guys!
What's the best way to get a sheared bolt out of a compromising position?
Too much torque on the ratchet. Bloody hairy knuckled alpha male that I am! (hahahahahahahahahahahaha)
