... but you probably couldn't tell by the activity level... It seems likely that I have missed pretty much all of the mild spring season for working on the trike. It's so stupidly close to an actual stopping point that I feel like a bum for having not finished it yet. Between an especially rainy spr...

It was an eventful day, tuning wise. First, I found that the serial cable extender had come loose regardless of the almost heroic efforts to prevent it. Then, I found that in at the least the last of the dozen or so cycles of removing and reinstalling the engine whilst working on the clutch, I swapp...

The trike has been intermittently road worthy. It spent a LONG time sitting after some clutch trauma that I thought was going to be much much worse. It's drivable enough to do a little shakedown cruising in a big parking lot.... This shakedown was partly to have fun on the trike after all this time ...

Buzz has been sold. But, Buzz's sale helped finance what I'm sure will eventually be another MegaSquirt project, a 1982 Yamaha Seca Turbo . In the mean time, I am still working on my VW Trike . I resolved a mechanical issue with the clutch, so I will have it on the road enough to seriously pursue tu...

That's the fundamental difference with MicroSquirt vs other EFI ready made stuff, you have to learn a lot, work at it to get things to work well, and in the process all this "research" makes you a geek in others eyes. I didn't get so much of that on Buzz as I do on the VW Trike project . ...

There has been little engine work because I need the trike on the road first, and while I did have it on the road briefly, the transaxle exploded, so it's back in the driveway. I will be getting a replacement transaxle and I hope to have the trike back on the road by this weekend. In the 15 or so mi...

I have tomorrow off work and because of the other trike work being done, I am nearly ready to put this thing on the road and get an inspection sticker! One quick note before I head to bed... The surgey idle I was experiencing during my last log capture may have been a result of unnoticed fuel starva...

Tuesday evening, I got to play rescue ranger for a friend who's dying battery had stranded him. When I got back, I didn't do much on the trike, not really wanting to do the 15-20 minutes of preparation I generally need to get started when I was only had an hour or so total. I did replace the throttl...

I found SpeedTek , which is reasonably close to home, has several dyno pull packages, including the "Solo Power Pass", which is basically 6 pulls in 2 hours with owner tuning time between pulls, for $100. I have sent an email asking about dyno testing a trike. As for the log, what I know h...

First, O'Reilly swapped out my bum starter with no quibbles, though he did note that the starter worked fine on his testing machine. Hey, the new one worked well for me tonight, though admittedly, I used it a lot less tonight than last night. [that's what she said] I did a bit of reading today and h...
