Took our 29 out for a local region AACA tour Sunday in cool to late day warm temps. Route was a mix of rural and urban roads. Did fine until I got behind one of those ten minute traffic lights and had to wait thru two changes. Started out and vapor locked going up next hill. Fortunately next stop was just over the hill and made it choke etc. Let her cool off under a shade tree with the hood up while we were there for about a hour and half and ran fine all the way home, about 38 miles. Have since aquired exhaust wrap and done the exhaust pipe and insulation tape for the gas line to carb. Spoke to an old friend who has a 27 twin six and he adds a gal of diesel to 19 gals of gas to stop his from VL. Going to do that also. Anyone else used diesel?
