777 rides again

777 rides again

The roadcraft is back from the shop with all rebuilt rear brakes including drums, shoes and such. It ran sub-6 bills. In the future I may bite have to start breaking my knuckles on brake jobs and possibly the exhaust - the next worse system to work on any vehicle.
What I have been doing with the 777 is driving it 3 to 5 miles to the express bus stop and taking Sound Tranist the rest of the way to Redmond. There may be no need of a second car as long as machine keeps flying.
One thing I did find out by taking it to a professional is that the dual Weber carbs are full size rather than minis. Meaning they are performance stock and a matched pair, meaning they are worth 1500 bucks. But to cash in I need to either get some minis or switch it back to a single carb. Thus less horsepower but better fuel economy and much easier to tune and sync.
