I had my T-16 out today, and it runs so smooth! I hope to make it to Beltring next year, so maybe we can have a beer or two. Thanks Rod Shaver
PS Hey David, are you cashing in on that new race track in Austin?
here are a few more photos of the voltage reducer for the feed to the 6v coil. Managed to pick one up so I could stick it on the head and make it look original even though we are not using it. I need the filter unit as i think the reducer bolts to that.
