Victor's pre Cannonball run

[10E]

Hello
Forgot to metion three other important things.

Magneto--Lane Plotner rebuilt the mag prior to the run, plus a back-up one that was left in Ca. just in case. Three cheers for Lane.
There are not many people out there who truly understand Bosch mags like Lane. Thanks again Lane. I know Mark's Mags has a first class reputation and is a great soure for parts. It never missed a beat the whole jorney. People were amazed that it started first kick (when I remembered to get the sequence right. Funny, I had problems with spark plugs, the threaded metal insert coming out of the ceramic that is connected to the HT lead became loose causing a miss and complete loss of spark on that cylinder.
Took me a while to find the problem first time. I have never seen that problem all the time I've been riding. It maybe a production problem or long engine running time or both. I'm going to talk to the supplier see if any other people are having same problem. Might want to change plugs brands if no satisfactory asnwer. Went through 4 plugs on the run.
If you have half the fun I did you are going to have a blast on the Cannonball Run.

Victor
