Happy new year everybody! Got thru my last "in-between" tank - no more '89 tranny holding Skiddy back!

The last tank was, as expected, crappy. There was plenty of idling and revving the engine while warming up / bleeding the cooling system after the adjustments to the radiator hose for clearance at the cable clutch conversion thingie .
And of course, there is always the learning curve for shift points and pedal pressure with this new motor / tranny combo. I think I'm learning the way this setup wants to be driven

Darn holidays have work too slow for me to go crazy modding Skiddy too much more right now ( guido is on hold for at least a few weeks now ) But I'm sure there's still a lot of room to adjust the " nut behind the wheel", and I'm trying to convince my wallet that the hand throttle is an affordable, money saving mod I'm probably just going to pull rank on that one and make it happen soon anyway....

More updates soon!
Thanks,
Victor
