    Fuel pump stared acting up 1hr out of Charlotte so back to Zuffenhaus and no weekend check ride. Ran great on all the short test drives but started making noise and fuel flow seemed to be erratic.

    BUMMER !! Sounds like either a clogged filter sock or the fuel pump is going bad.

    Since it's a new tank I don't think it's a clogged filter sock. Pump was getting loud and hot, so. We will know soon, that's why you do shake down runs.

    Not quite but close. Two mode shoulder harness, inertial for road and locked for track. Switches between seats.

    He sure did, and it was done back in the day. This dates from around '75/'76.

    Now it gets serious. Good news, all the pickup points line up. Got to love hearing that.
