Only Collin would come cruising into Jefferson after a night on the town at the same time I'm cruising out of Jefferson on my way to work.

Hey Michael, this video sounds both good and bad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBw2s3RjsD8

The good is it sounds like it's hitting on both rotors eventually, the bad that it's sounds like it's hitting on only one most of the time. I'm no expert, but the good news probably means the motor is OK and you need to confirm the obvious - spark and fuel.

Are you getting good fuel jetting into the primaries when you hit the accelerator?

How's the spark at the pulled and grounded plugs?

Are you sure your timing is set right? Are the dizzy and igniters in good shape?

That video sounds a lot like the Silver One did before it's 12A came back to life, pretty much all of a sudden and on it's own. Keep at it, maybe someone else has some better ideas and can offer them up.

Are we still on for Jeffery's tomorrow night?

I'm still down for it- I've got to meet Jim with that red 'vert before the meet at his house to put in another power window regulator, too. I can show off my new rims and exhaust

Well, this is day two of Mazcare being totally stumped.

Current score is
Mazcare- 0
GSL-SE- 2

They have tested about everything they think they can test. Crit, if you could still bring me that ECU, that would be awesome. I'll call you tomorrow if Mazcare has anything else they think might be replaceable/testable with a new part. Thanks in advance man, I'm much obliged.

Crit, are you going to drive the Repu? You may have already said and me have read over it. I'm trying to get my roomy to come with me and I had told him about your truck. He likes 1st gens and I told him this would be a good opportunity to see some.

Looking forward to tomorrow everyone!

I'm not even going to tell any of you what I was doing in Midtown. But I'm sure, given the simple fact that you all know me, you can figure it out.

Oh snap! I went there..

Damn you Kanye! Damn you!

I dunno, I'm really leaning towards just buying Kevin's 12A. It all depends on if they can fix the SE by Friday. If they can't, and I'm out more than $500, I'll just call it quits, and get Kevin's 12A. If it's fixed for less than $1k by Friday, I'll keep the SE.

Now what to do with the SE if I get the 12A. Hmm. Anyone want it? I'll sell it cheap.
