Tidbits on the Internet !
--- "I know this thread is getting old by now but let me tell you all what I did that makes BJ8 carb removal a (relative) breeze. I replace the 5/16" hex nuts (which require a 1/2" wrench) with 5/16-24 Jet Nuts from a Pegasus Racing catalog. These have a reduced hex (read 3/8" wrench) but the surface area is the same as the regular nut. Believe me, it's a zillion times easier to work with the smaller wrench. Just my 2-cents-worth...."

Alex -Was your problem a sticking float, or a needle valve that did not shut ? When my needle valve does not shut, I turn off my fuel pump (I have a switch in series with the pump) and run the engine until all the gas in the float bowls is used up. The floats are now at the bottomof the float chambers, and the needle valves are WIDE open. Turning the fuel pump back on causes an in rush of fuel, which usually blows any dirt off of the needle valve, and it will then work properly. This works for me, and it requires no disassembly of the float lid.- Bernie, 1967 BJ8

Saturday, April 24, 2010 LaConner Tulip Rallye
The 29th Annual LaConner Tulip Rallye is just around the corner. Over 25 car clubs participate in the fun. This event gives each club member a chance to win first place within their club (must have a minimum of five cars entered to be considered a car club). Car clubs often use this event as their Spring driving event, and yet, share the day with other clubs.
Last year we toured through the flower fields and water front views of Whidbey Island. We featured Coupeville, where donations by the entrants to the “Gifts from the Heart” food bank tallied over $1,400.00 in donations and about 725 cans of food. How thrilled we were! So, what will we do for an encore?
The 2010 LaConner Rallye will be shorter in driving distance enabling the entrants more time to explore the flower area. There will be water views and challenges along the way. Entrants are asked to remember to bring canned goods and/or a generous donation for the local food bank. Overnight accommodations near the starting point are available at the Holiday Inn Express in Burlington.
Dust your car off and come out for a day of fun.
