I am really getting good at detecting fuel leaks.

I found another fuel leak today, it looks like the hose connection on the lower fuel rail, water pump side.
I currently have worm gear clamps. I'm now considering changing clamp style.

This is maybe the 4th or 5th fuel leak I've had within a year.

Its the red gtu, my DD.

Fuel hoses are a little more than a year old.

My brother suggested use "t-clamps." Any other suggestions?

I'm game... Finally got the FC back on the road. I need some major tuning in this cold humid weather though. Is Reese still around?? If so I would like to tune it prior to the meet.

hey masin (or anybody), do you know anything about timing maps? Ive started looking at mine and found out the stock map is advanced to about 35 degrees at max load (~7+ psi usually) on the rtek. Seems way too advanced. Hopefully im reading that correctly, waht does your timing map look like on the 'squirt

ummmmmmmmmmmm, i hav eno clue about timing ****. the only thing i know/have heard is that tunning via timing is dangerous on a rotary. i would say i could check the megasquirt for you, but its down until the big turbo is done.(thats right, i finally got all the parts and i think we are gonna finish tearing it apart next weekend.)

Yeah, Miyabi's is a great place. That was a fun night! Dude, get an attorney, a radar detector, and slow your butt down!

Masin - get well soon, dude. And for crying out loud, stop going around just kissing people!
