Replaced my ground cable at the engine and the battery and cleaned electrical contacts at the alternator. I hope it cures the misfire when hot...

I tried to find a way to lubricate the clutch cable... It is not smooth at all.. I guess it is up for replacement...
Winter job.

Oh and...today I painted the top of my Fiamm Air Horn Compressor....

Put in my 'new' sun visors. Henrik on the dino facebook page mentioned some other guy was posting dino parts on ebay. I took a look and found the only two parts I was still missing for my project car!!

Tested if my misfire when hot was gone after replacing the ground strap at the engine.

Removed the rear trailing arms of my 2400 Coupe - the starting point of renewing my complete rear axle and suspension.

Today I flipped the orientation of the driveshaft at the rear by 180degrees and was very happy to find that the vibrations when coasting were much reduced.

Re: So what did you do to your Dino today?
Over the past few days it has kept me busy:
-Cleaning grounds and adding ground cable to engine
-rewiring fuel pump
-checking valve clearance and camshaft lobes (good)
-checking engine compression (good)
-checking carb filters. (Bit dirty)
-opening carbs and checking: accumulated dust.
-cleaned all carbs. Started it again. It now sounds good. Time for a test drive.

Re: So what did you do to your Dino today?
Hi,
I did a technical check-up of the Dino before driving it for the first time.
Luckily I did, I found out that the fuel lines are leaking underneath the air-intake
So I replaced the fuel lines, checked compression, which was good. Tomorrow I'll check the rest....
