Limerick monthly meetings
- Thread starter Rez
- Start date
Great to see Brian and his Volksrod at tonights meet. Some sound off it!
I hadn't a chance to take a look at a beam extender before now
Larry re-joined us tonight after his diesel conversion by John Knightley. Top work.
Poor Diarmuid had fuel pump issues on our cruise to Pa McGraths for sandwiches. Here's the before pic as I completely forgot to take a snap of us all pulled in at the hard shoulder trying to get it running again.
And a few other pics of the Limerick crew
Sorry Pat.... I never got a shot of yours tonight
Thats all for now. Hopefully we'll get similar weather next month!
Next one is 5th August

Another good meet evening we had.
I must say big thanks to the lads for not just leaving me on the side of the road, especially to the man Larry for following me all the way back home to Ballingarry to make sure I got there ok. I owe you man.
I had an issue there last week at a run when it just cut out, I filled the carb with petrol from a bottle and away it ran.
I thought it was only a one off until the other night.
I got to Limerick fine that morning for work, left after for the meet, still going fine, and then on way out to Pa Mc's pub it gave a splutter and I knew the problem had returned.
I had come prepared with squeezy bottle and all, got running again after couple attempts and got to pub for the tea and sandwich.
After when leaving Larry said he would follow me for a while to see how it was going, good thing too as it broke down another 4 times before getting it home.
We had checked the fuel supply on the night, getting fuel to pump but not to carb.
I took off the pump today and dismantled it, didn't find anything wrong with the pump internals, ( had put a rebuild kit in it last year).
The only thing I did find was a bit of ptfe tape in the outlet of pump so I am hoping this was the problem.
The grub screw on the front of the carb was also a bit loose so was prob sucking unwanted air into the carb.
All going good again, so gonna take it out for a few spins next few days to make sure.

Our leader, the most great DJ Kev, just phoned to say that as himself and Larry are off having their hair coloured, eyebrows trimmed & tinted and getting a manicure done they cannot get to log onto Justin's t'interweb.......well, you can't can you when your fingers are in hot water for an hour!
Anyhooooo, Mister Kevin demanded that one of his bitches remind you mother flippers that this is on tomorrow evening so, and I quote; "get your fat asses along and look like you enjoy it you twats...................oh, and if you know what's good for you then you better compliment my hair & nails too"
You know the time, you know the place and you know what to drive so just do as the drama queen says will ya FFS
