Status update

By: Birger Knutsen - 2.2.2010
Mini engine in pieces, George down on his fee..wheels again. I spent a nice sunday splitting the Mini powerplant, and removed caps here & there to check. Everything looks very nice, so a normal rebuild should be ok. I will swap the cam for a new one, as it felt a bit off last season, and it looks used as well. This is the 2nd Kent cam I've had that's had a disappointingly short lifespan. The Swift sw23 looks the ticket, 3500-7500 powerband is right in my sweet spot. I've talked to Tom of Ski Motorverksted, and I'll be dropping the donk off there first chance.

A short update from Doc is that George the Imp is back on the ground, and looking super sexy(see funky phone-image).

Time off has been spent with sick kids (will it ever stop?), I've had a bout of a bad cold myself, but I have managed to tile the floor of our new bathroom, so at least I've gotten my hands dirty...
