Well, I am one of a few out here waiting patiently for one of these to hit Craigslist. Lo and behold one hit today in Corona. And it was a $4 million home that had this. It is pristine but has an issue with gas pedal. Plays some of the time just fine other times, after hitting top, low speed it wants to power down. You have to step on the gas a few times to get it kicked back into speed. Once you shift into high you are good to go, unless you have to slow down at which point it will depower again sometimes.

Well, thought it was working great but now it isn't gassing up properly. You start, step on the gas, it peels out but then loses power. So you basically have to pump the gas frantically hoping it sticks in gear long enought to get over 100 so you can shift into high gear and then it works. That is until you brake or crash and get stuck in the lower gear again, then you have to keep pumping the gas to get it to stick in gear. Frustrating, to say the least. Any thoughts?
 
I cracked open the lower accelerator panel and cleaned the gears off. They were greasy and dirty. Shined them up and scraped the grease from the grooves and it seems to be working whole lot better. Should cleaning of the gear make it run better? I also adjusted the gear screws a bit, although I really didn't know what I was doing. lol :)
 
Funny, I was supposed to pick that up from Amy on Monday. I'm officially done with CL.

Good score for you though.
 
Sorry to hear that. I called her on it Tuesday night and she didnt mention anyone else had committed to it. Then she said i couldn't pick it up until Friday, which I did. It was hard to wait those two days.

I'm not upset with you, it's not your fault. She told me Friday too, but when my work schedule didn't work out she said not to worry cause Monday was fine. No biggie. I should have known working a deal with a realtor wasn't gonna work out, ha.
 
Oh, you were picking up this Monday. I talked with her on Tues and wanted to pick it up then but she had me wait until Friday. I begged her to keep her word :) Maybe she was keeping you on the backburner incase i flaked out.

Yeah, who knows. No biggie.

Are you going to get the HS save kit for this? Now that it has been made I really want an OutRun again. Mini for sure. The kids would love it, and it would look sweet next to Super Hang On :)

How's that monitor look? The CL pic sucked.
