Previously I posted about synchronizing my carbs with the home made carb stick. I think now I have found a better way. I followed this write up and things are much improved. I found that at full throttle the right slide was 1/4" low. this would mess up the mixture almost all through the RPM range. I can now get the idle way lower and starting off is smoother. Top end should be improved also.

I have taken over the build and web site for JZRUSA The continuation of this build will be posted on this blog. I feel it is important to do this for those others that are building one. What I present here is just my way of doing it. I don't claim to be any kind of expert so take this for what it's worth. It's free.

FENDER STRUT REMAKE
The fender struts have been a real pain for me. The ends have broken 4 times from vibration causing work hardening of the alum. I tried some SS tubing with flattened ends and they did the same thing.
The fix ( I hope) is 3/16" x 3/4" flat bar. This seems to be much more stable. The flat bar is bolted to a plasma cut plate so the actual strut is about 2"+ shorter than before. Time will tell. Photos are the old and the new.
