Hot Manitoba Ride Today

[55 Fargo]

Hey all , just went for a 20 mile ride to town (Selkirk), to run an errand with the 47.

It is 90, with a humidex of 105, so muggy hot, car ran at 165 or so, it would no doubt run a lot hotter at longer highway speed or hills, but a a good test none the less.

My engine lifter tick-tick sounds more noisy at hotter engine temps, maybe the oil was thinning out, hopefully no other issues, but would rather drive her on cooler days, 80 and below, preferably at 70, nice riding temps.....Fred

Glad that you were able to put some miles on her today, in the 70's here today with no humidity, but by the end of the weekend and come Monday,it will be hot and humid here also, but thankfully no rain until sometime next week

Went to start car and put away, gas boiled out of carb, as it would not start, primed carb with gas, started thern died out, still hot or not enough to prime carb to get fuel pump to push gas up.

I wonder if my fuel pump is week, anyides/suggestions......Thanx Fred
