I don't want to have to sell my square... | |Okay, so i just finished rebuilding the engine (top end) on my '67 square, |got it going and took it out for a cruise today. After only an hour of |driving around, my girlfriend and I got totally nauseaous, had awful |headaches and just wanted to go to sleep... talk about CO poisoning! |It didn't run too well for that matter. It barely loped along until the |RPM's got to 900-1000, then it would catch, and finally have some power. |The heater's not hooked up, but I don't have any carpeting over the engine |compartment hatch. What could it be? - over rich carbs (stock dual |solexes)? leaking engine compartment seal? leaking heater boxes? Maybe I |just need a new rubber mat in the cargo area? | |I am soooo bummed out. I just want to puke right now, and after three |weeks of working on this thing after work at night, I just feel like |giving up. | |My got I have got the worst headache I have EVER had. | | |any suggestions would be appreciated. | |Thanks, | |Eduardo | | |------------------------------------------------------------------- |Search old messages on the Web!
