do you [Non-Scooter Projects]

[Lunytune]

elitedio,
I don't think you'll ever get your scooter to pull that Amish Carriage.

[elitedio]

The buggy wasn't part of the package, luny. They are pretty uniquely constructed. The sides, doors and top are cloth; wood sub frame and structure. That particular buggy was wrecked by a spooked horse last summer. Splinters everywhere but no one seriously hurt.

My wife wants to build a non amish buggy. Composite construction, good bearings. Not steel tires.

I had a friend a few years back who bought an Amish buggy to refurbish and ride. I think his wife may have even made some Amish outfits. I am intrigued. I could almost convert to Amish... But they wouldn't let me ride my scooters.

All - great projects you have for the winter!

elitedio's sneaks in the good stuff. I don't know much about radio, so searched on his R390. Post WWII vacuum tube design it was used from the Korean war to the Gulf War. Twenty six vacuum tubes & 85lbs. Chassis shot below and more in the link below:

Only non-scooter project I have is my remote control car. I'm taking a POS walmart car and kickin' it up with a chainsaw motor.

Per elitedio's project

OMG ! Tube powered with gears. Way over my head.

My question is where are you finding tubes and parts to rebuild it.

[elitedio]

Yeah lots of tubes and gears. There is one tube that acts as a ballast in the power supply that is not available. A silicon part is available if needed. Other tubes are available from the usual sources such as ebay. I bought my receiver from a friend who is a ham. He has 3 other 390s. My unit is in pretty good shape in that it is complete with the "good" tube shields and is clean. I have not started it up yet.

The thing about this is that the number of circuits is very small compared to modern digital stuff.

87 Buick Grand National

This winter it gets a front mount intercooler, a new wastegate, Better fans for the radiator, and hopefully poly motor mounts. Also have to fix a pesky oil leak and a noisy speedometer. I could buy an awful lot of nice scooters for the money that's been sunk into this car, and that doesn't include the purchase price.

I have a very understanding wife.

I want to try to get the BBK on my Ruesch. Then re-deck, paint, re-wire, and put some bed liner on the trailer

Do you have the Weber turbo or the Weber natural? what bbk is available for it?

I have the CFMOTO-500 in mine. They came out with the Weber a month after I got mine. My dealer said there is a kit to make it a 650 for it but could never get me a price, so I called Ruesch and they said it was around $1200 about the same price as the turbo. I'm trying to find one online cheaper. The CFMOTO-500 is a real common engine. If I cant find one, I think I'll go with a bigger carb and some porting. I'd like to put in a 700 FI engine out of a Rhino in it, but cant find just a engine and wiring harness.
