Kevin, How do you use the liquid gold? Diluted? If so, with what and at what stoichiometry? Do you have easy access to non-ETOH fuel? steve

Yes, Dyke, I don't write as well as I should, but I only meant to run the engine 1 second to prove the ignition/spark part of the holy triad was present, and could thus be ruled out. If the accelerator pump squirters are AWOL, no amount of ether will save the day. steve

Is there a downside to spraying ether into the carb? It would provide a quick and dirty way to divide and conquer the holy triad.
I've heard it's bad for the engine, so, it's clearly notta long term solution; only a shortcut. steve

If none of the accelerator-pumps are working, you are using non-ETOH fuel, and the accelerator pumps worked before the e-pump rebuild, you gotta be sure that what's up stream is working. I know you just had the EFP rebuilt, but I would verify that there is good fuel flow from that e-pump. I believe ...

Thanx so much, Dyke. I'll check out the No-rosion wares. Much appreciated. steve

In case you just climbed out from under a rock, our own John Vardanian sold his Lusso in Monterey at the "Radius" auction of Broad Arrow. This was a STUNNING CAR and fetched what it deserved. Check out the review in "Sports Car Market" magazine. Can't recall the last time I saw that magazine give an...

The accelerator pumps on my car are continuing to be problematic. DCNs that have been thoroughly cleaned and known to be patent, fail after just one drive....return home, try to restart the car the next day or so....no go. No or very poor "pump shot", but restarts easily with ether. Clean again, and...

Thanx so much, Kevn. steve

Very nice of you to help with the resurrection of Tom's car. Nichols Speedo in NC did some clocks for me on a couple of Porsches. It's a long shot i know, but worth a call...Phone: (336) 273-2881 (I'd previously worked with Kevin H.) Best, s

It seems to me that Tom opined on this subject, in detail, some time ago, but I'm too lazy to go a searchin' However, here's a nicely written, and as usual, thorough piece on the subject by Dyke Ridgley (DWR46). SPOILER ALERT: bring your favorite fluid dynamics engineer to help you understand the nu...

John, thanx so much. steve

To get a coolant temp reading where's the best place to shoot your IR gun?

Where's the coolant temp sensor on a Lusso? thanx steve

I shoulda known that labels, at $20 each, were not going to be of much quality. Bingo, "a day late, and a dollar short". These were thin decals w/o much substance. Look worse than the one I replaced. "Caveat Emptor". s

I used a single edge razor blade on a holder that you often see being used to R&R windshield registration and inspection stickers. A bit of elbow grease and it was off. Too lazy to go in the house for hot water or floss. Onward. thanx steve

thanx guys! I'll call my dentist as soon as gets in. s
