This morning I am recovering!!!!!

really experienced =E2=80=9CThe Mother Road.=E2=80=9D

Alchohol contaminated petrol is a big problem here too, especially =

Well Rick,
=20
The Sunday in the Netherlands is dull due to autumn rain and chill =
temps.=20
We=E2=80=99ve skipped the MGCC club tour, as it rains all day long.
=20
But yesterday I spent work on two of my Puch classic mopeds (1970 =
-1973).
=20
The 1973 model suffered of a broken central stand last year.
Left me in a nasty position being able to ride the bike, but not being =
able to park it.
And a new stand is a problem, because these all are aftermarket and the =
quality is terrible.
Finally last week a replacement stand of acceptable quality was =
delivered and I made it fit.
As the bike stood still for over a year, it did not want to start unless =
the choke was used all time.
It proved to be, that a stand still period for a long time is bad.
The European law forcing bio-ethanol added to the regular fuel makes a =
still standing carb clogged.
Last week 95 octane fuel has to be 10% bio-ethanol, which makes even =
post-modern cars vulnerable for this nasty fuel additive.
So I=E2=80=99ll change the type of fuel for my mopeds to a special one. =
The BGT will get the 98 octane fuel, which contains 5% bio-ethanol.
Cleaning the carb float chamber and jet solved the issue.
The bike went like old days again afterwards!=20
=20
The 1970 model suffered of a running hot piston (sudden high friction =
piston) a few months ago.
So a week ago I took all apart and the piston and cylinder showed =
overheating and were damaged.
So I replaced these.
Not a very difficult job to do, but again the aftermarket quality =
spoiled the job somehow.
The exhaust side of the new cylinder is not really the same fit as the =
original.
So I had to change the shape of the exhaust pipe flange, in order not =
hitting the cooling rib.
Also the exhaust pipe gasket had to be reshaped, in order to fit well =
with the flange.
=20
Remembered me to the BGT=E2=80=99s replacement front bumper in the =
mid-nineties.
Poor fit and lots of wiggling to get it mounted well.=20

Onderwerp: [Mgs] Sunday morning, a bit OT
=20
Hello Friends, and good morning from South Texas!
=20
Another hot day is forecast for today so I plan to get my car work =
(play?) done early. Two jobs are in the queue, neither of which involves =
the Maserati, strangely enough! :-P The first is filling two petrol jugs =
with fuel and heading to my shop. The Triumph TR6 ran out of gas while =
moving it about yesterday. My grandson and I ended up pushing it into =
position, ready for tomorrow's transport.
=20
Once the TR6 is fueled, its back to the house to spend an hour or so on =
the MG TD. That car is to get the other half of its tune up. =
Specifically, the timing will be checked, and adjusted as required, =
valves adjusted, and the SU carburetors will get cleaned and the linkage =
lubricated. The car will get a new brake master cylinder, but not today. =
Rather, a garage cleanup is needed first so the master cylinder job can =
happen cleanly and efficiently.
=20
As much as I have enjoyed working on the Biturbo, it's nice that I now =
don't have to do so! It's running great. Yesterday, the car started at =
the first turn of the key and ran great as I moved cars around. After =
completing a few more competing projects, the car will get regular use.
=20
You? How are you spending your Sunday? Any LBC projects in the queue. I =
know some of you are contemplating winter storage and maintenance =
projects for your cars, but for us on America's south coast, its driving =
season!
