Just took Silent E out for a spin around the block. She's not finished
yet -- needs splashguards, cable conduit, and lots of little things --
but I had reconnected everything and wanted to find any big problems.
(I need to readjust my potbox, because I could never get more than 1/2
acceleration out of it, even with my foot on the floor.)
The big problem was motor stink. It smelled like burned insulation.
(Not that I've smelled that before.) It was strong enough that my wife
noticed it as I pulled into the garage after only one trip around the
cul-de-sac.
This is, essentially, a new motor. Jim rebuilt it months ago, on short
notice, and I just got it back on the road (sorry, Jim. Family stuff
got in the way). Am I burning off lubrication oil, or breaking in
brushes, or actually hurting something?
Thanks,
Jude
