Re: I Need Upholstery for a 1959 Bug Wasp - How about PICTURES?

I found a local shop that will tackle the project. Anybody have some pictures of original Bug Wasp upholstery?

Re: I Need Upholstery for a 1959 Bug Wasp

Absolutely - the snaps will be the last thing done. My Wasp is so old, they were still using screws with 'washers' under them instead of snaps.

Re: I Need Upholstery for a 1959 Bug Wasp

Thanks. I'll be checking locally. I have a spare Bug i can leave with a shop. Should be fewer surprises if I can see the first cut.

I Need Upholstery for a 1959 Bug Wasp - How about PICTURES?

I'm trying to get my '59 Bug Wasp ready for Barnesville in March.
I need some suggestions for someone that can supply upholstery for this thing.

Thanks,

Anybody have plans for building a kart engine DYNO?

Anybody have plans for building a kart engine DYNO?
I've seen ads in old magazines for kart dynos. I believe Go Power used to sell dynos or plans for dynos.
Any plans or designs would be considered.

Re: Megafire module vs points

Thanks Scott.

I guess I'll have to build an adaptor to mount my degree wheel on the crank.

AND make a dyno! I'll create new thread to see if anybody has plans for a decent dyno.

Re: Megafire module vs points

** I did not do well in college electronics courses, so my assumptions may be worthless ** I can't find any specs on exactly how they work and perform. I'm thinking that the Megafire triggers on a voltage change and has no additional logic that will modify the timing as the RPM changes. Any change i...

Re: Megafire module vs points

Thanks for the info Gordon. I probably won't do much in the way of changing the timing. I'm getting too old to go fast. I am curious to know how the timing changes just by bolting the module in and not changing anything else. Were you actually measuring the timing changes or just recording better or...

Megafire module vs points

Has anybody tested the timing with a Megafire module ( points eliminator )? I installed one on a Clinton E65 and it starts right up. I also have one on an MC-10. Just wondering what advance I now have and whether it will run better or worse than points. I know the E65 would normally have 27 degrees ...
