Out and About the Town Again

Took another ride around town, this time touched all four corners of the village. Additionally, my wife and I had a new passenger, Buddy Love, my father in laws sheltie dog. He sat on Jan's lap and took it all in as he was the king of the "T". Unfortunately had no one to take a picture of his inaugural ride. This was his first "T" ride as he has never been in my father in laws '22 touring.
Got better at shifting into high gear, need to throttle way down. Still seems to run fairly hot, on the motometer right near the top, but this is short streets with lots of stop and go driving. Probably not a good parade car with out a water pump. Will need to work on the leak in the pump and see about putting it back on and seeing how that works.
7 miles.

Out of the Garage and on the Road

Was able to get out Sunday and go for our maiden voyage in the topless Clyde. It was a beautiful day with sunshine, temps around 80 and it wasn't raining, for the "T's" first introduction to the village streets. The wife and I took drive around the southern side of town, stopped and got some gas and just enjoyed the ride. After that our daughter and her fiancé came over and I took them both for a short ride around the neighborhood, put a total of about 9 miles of travel on Clyde.

He ran very well, and the wife remarked that he seemed a lot quieter than her father’s '22 touring, to which I agreed as you could clearly hear the coils buzzing away, but I don't have a cover for the coil box and we didn't get much above idle speed in high gear as we were on residential streets. Shifting in high gear is not as smooth as her dad's "T", with a fair amount of rough chatter. Transmission brake was fairly good but could use a little tweak and need to adjust for a better larger neutral position on the brake lever as there is not much movement between having the rear brakes on and before high gear kicks in. No major territory marking just a little oil from the rear of the transmission at the ball joint.

Need to get the new top on, pretty warm sitting in the sun. Hopefully we have finally arrived at warmer and dryer weather and we will have many more enjoyable days of driving.

Honeycomb Radiator

Here are a few pictures of the honeycomb radiator on the "T". I have not had the shroud off so don't know if there are any hidden marks under it.
The first is a front view, the repaired leak was in the lower right corner.

 

The next is a rear view.

Here is shot of the upper right side numbers "159216".

Finally a look at the center rear, can't make out these number "***47"
