We have a trike vacation coming up and I&#8217;ve been semi-diligently working on the VW trike. Of course, I&#8217;m always planning and plotting to squirt the VW, too, but there&#8217;s not time before the upcoming trip. I imagine it will be mid-June before I can get back to tuning on Buzz.<\/p>\n<p>After using the borrowed MIG to fix a couple of things and to make a sissybar for my wife&#8217;s new Nightster, I had to return the welder, so I shopped around and bought one of my own. Granted, it&#8217;s a Chinese cheapy from Harbor Freight, but thus far, it has done everything I&#8217;ve needed it to do.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned back in late January, I purchased a cylinder head from the same engine as Buzz, the intent being to use it as a jig for the manufacture of a new manifold. To that end, I&#8217;ve been practicing a bit of tube-on-tube welding. I imagine the manifold for the VW will need a bit of that as well.<\/p>\n<p>I have a pretty good idea in my head how I will make Buzz&#8217;s manifold, using EMT conduit sizes. Note to self: remove all zinc galvanzing before you weld on that stuff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buzz is dusty, having been left essentially untouched since my last update.
