Dyno testing at some stage
Well, not much has been happening with the NSR over Winter.
I was planning to do some dyno runs over winter, but I am yet to get around to doing that.
Ideally, I would like to have an Ignitech ignition all set up before going to the dyno so I can make good use of the time. Also, I would like to organise two or three other NSR's to be at the dyno at the same time to reduce costs and increase fun.
For bore and piston safety, a pair of EGT sensors would be a "Nice to have".
(EGT = Exhaust Gas Temperature. Anything over approx. 1250 degrees [at a distance of approx 80mm from piston] is pushing your luck apparently)
Thanks for the thanks.
Initially this blog was started up just to keep a dairy of my progress. At the time, blogging was kinda new and cool, so I was keen to try my hand. However, it has developed into something a little bit more than that. Clearly there are a few people out there that have found it to be a useful online resource for their own restoration projects.
I would like to thank all the people who have sent me messages of encouragement over the past years regarding this blog.
It can be a bit of a hassle stopping right in the middle of NSR work to take photos and note down details. And then sitting down afterwards at the computer and trying to explain the actions of the day does take a bit of self discipline sometimes.
It really does help when people acknowledge your efforts. It helps to make it all seem worthwhile.
I will (anonymously) list a couple of these comments below:
1) TuckerBag, I have actually read your whole blog, kind of the inspiration behind me pulling my one out of storage.
It pleases me that this blog is inspirational and useful for some.

2) I have visited your blog many many times during the restoration of my MC18-II. Searching the net in those days, your blog was the most helpful, with pics and nice writing. And bear in mind that I was visiting your blog every time I needed something. Thank you again and again TuckerBag.
And to those that take the time to let me know,.. you're welcome. :-)
