my poor goon

[jonesy510]

well for the last couple days my goon has been missing and running kinda funny when ever the motor had any type of stress on it but not to bad. But today it ran like complete crap and went from a slight little ticking sound to having a horrible knock. I pulled a plug to see if it was bad and found a nice bit of oil. I checked all the plugs and each one was covered in oil... i slowly sputtered my way home and decided mayb its time to retire the tired l16 :(.... im going to miss driving it and all the adults that tell me "my mom drove a 510 wagon when i was young!!"

 

but o well now it gives me an excuse to get a KA or L20 :lol:

 

also gave a friend and i an idea about making stickers that say your mom loves my datsun :D

Too bad you areant in N cal, I'd sell you my old L18 real cheap just to get you back on the road.

[jonesy510]

i would b down to drive up there this weekend haha. i got a friend who goes to sf state so i could vist here while im in the bay

[Twiggz]

Doh! I won't be in town this weekend. hit me up with a PM and Ill give you more details. I won't sugar coat it, she's an old motor, I just sold my dual mikuni carbs off of it. dyno'd at a whopping 68whp and 77wtq! LOL

 

It was running, no smoke but there was something odd with it. Too much vibration is what people were guessing. I cracked the insides of my electronic dist. and have no idea how that happened. So instead of a rebuild I went with a VG swap.

 

One of these days Ill post the cannon intake and nissan comp headder for sale too :)

You screwed up good this time.

 

But it's ok. We can rebuild her, bigger, faster, stronger. Your goon that is..... that L16 is going to engine heavens.

 

Call John Paul and ask if he wants it back. lololololololol.

[jonesy510]

we should build the l16 and put it in a ride along mower or something :)

I know a guy who put a L-16 in a lawn mower! Tired of the shit engines that mowers come with.

o and about the lawn more idea. my dad was a riding lawn more that might need a lil more power :)

[Twiggz]

I believe that dist is out of a 240, or 280. I can never get it right lol. its what people call a "matchbox" and It uses a low impedance coil. I think if you use a high imp. coil you might kill it. Thats just what I've heard.

 

I'm sure some guys on here know better then I do.

 

All my neighbors know when I fire up the T bucket. I'm sure they hate me when I drive it to work. A 454 with straight pipes at 6:30am, wakes up everyone :)
