First Issue

[Colin King]

Got my first issue of the N News yesterday. I've wanted a subscription for a long time and finally sprang for one.

Thanks to Chris, Bruce, and all the others who contribute to it.

You're welcome. Chris has a few more articles to his credit than I do. (and writes better too!)

I've been a subscriber now for almost 15 years. I think I've submitted 4 or 5 articles; Chris & I did a couple of them together. My article on front distributors will be in the next issue.

Bruce, was reading an old article you & Chris did (in 2010 I think) about removing the shifter cover. What was the purpose of the small spring & ball that's easily lost?
Seems I once knew but I be danged if I can remember now. Too many birthdays. :roll:

Got my first issue of the N News yesterday.

Colin, some of the best money you'll ever spend.
FYI, it don't hurt to leave the renewal card laying around come holidays & birthdays.
It's an inexpensive gift so we're actually doing [i:effa8ef07c]them[/i:effa8ef07c] a favor! :lol:

I didn't know there was a mag about the 8n. Were do I go to get signed up for it?

See the link...

Even with the forums and online information... There's something great about holding printed material.

Just restarted my subscription after too long away.

Well worth it.

Well, if that was it maybe I didn't know after all. Not ringing any bells anyway!

I look forward to reading it!

As I recall, the original "Tips" ran in published version in the N News several years back, right? I find myself frequently referring to it here on YT. A great resource.

I enjoyed reading your article on the fuel shut-off valve. Right now I'm using a shop rag, changed out every other day, to catch the drips so that the fuel doesn't damage the new paint. Gonna put your article to use here shortly. Thank you!

Colin, yea, "50 Tips" was in the summer, 2006 edition of the N-Newsletter. "75 Tips" was in July & October editions in 2012.

" Right now I'm using a shop rag, changed out every other day, ...."

LOL! That's what I was doing on the 740 until I figured out that just leaving it turned on stopped the drip! (ok, yea, tip # 9!)

But I have every intention of fixing it.....

There's always something that needs attention for sure! Mine unfortunately leaks on or off and a little bit of fuel sure makes a mess.

[souNdguy]

remember.. if you fix ALL the problems. another comes up. just find one you can live with and stick with it!

Been a subscriber since about 1992. Got all the back issues they offered too (although, not sure where they are now!). Always useful and an interesting read.

 

[Colin King]

That's really great! I certainly enjoyed my first issue.

A very good philosophy!
