1600km with the Chang sidecar in Southwest China

Thanks for posting andre, sounds like a good trip with a nice mix of driving and other stuff! The pics should be good!

the Flathead Chang’s tend to overhead the carburettors and the fuel evaporates before it reaches the combustion chamber – a vapour blockage. Pete knows the old “Wehrmachtstricks” from his grandfather and wrap’s the carbs with old socks, the socks get manually sprayed with water and stay cold enough to avoid the vapour blockage.

This happens to me quite a bit during the hotter summer months here. Never thought of that solution but will be sure to try it out! My solution to to open the choke half way and run it like that until i get to faster open stretches of road where the air is enough to cool down the carbs.
