So after about 20 trips over 150 miles and endless tweaks I took Greta out for a long run on a beautiful side road this afternoon. I was able to run her between 45-50 mph for 24 miles on a glorious spring day. All the small vacuum leaks, timing resets, fuel pump issues, a few compression leaks, loose fasteners, some minor wiring reworks, and carburetor adjustments all paid off. For the 1st time she completed the run and was backed into the garage without anything in need of tools to correct, phew!
I will keep getting her out and build my confidence in her. My heart is not in my mouth as much now. I was able to talk my nerves down and start to enjoy the ride and the wonderful day. It took a lot of help from everyone here to get to this point and I cannot thank you enough. I hope everyone else has a great touring season ahead of them this season too.
Thanks!
