Yesterday I rode my motorcycle from Philomath to Newport. This video is of the entire route. I put it together for all the people who are snow-bound over winter and who can’t ride their motorcycles until spring.
Photo Tag in Toledo
Today I went in hunt of a photo tag in Toledo. I took a detour through Newport and took this photo near Nye Beach.
This is where the old photo tag was located. It was at the Toledo water treatment plant.
I put the new photo tag near Corvallis.
Working on Injector Bosses
Lately I’ve been working on the fuel injector bosses for my fuel injection conversion project. The other night I started machining the bosses themselves. The above video is a sped-up version of me machining the bosses in my living room. I believe that machining in my living room levels me up in the world of engineers.
I was thinking about having the hose fittings come out the sides of the bosses but this would impede being able to bolt the injectors to the throttle body.
I can’t put them straight out the top either without impinging upon the water pipes coming out of the cylinder heads.
This side is a more likely candidate. However, I will need to get a 90 degree elbow to make sure I don’t bend the high pressure fuel hose. I will be picking that up this evening.
I will be shaving down about 1/4″ from the top of the blocks to make sure they fit properly once I have set the retaining bolts to hold the bosses and injectors to the throttle bodies.
I might be in trouble with the alignment of the injector wiring. Hopefully I can make it fit properly.
