Dan R Swims and drives to Shasta.
Packed and ready for a 9 day road and swim trip.
Travel tonneau on and Red Bull ready
for the drive to Portland.
Tomorrow am swimming the 11 mile Portland Bridges
swim.
Sunday was a success. Placed 18 overall out of 86.
Won 60-64 age group by 24 minutes.
Quick drive to Hood River with a couple of stops.
Morning stop complete lunch at Burgerville.
Then south to John Day
Just after taking the attached picture the car wouldn't run.
Tried calling AAA but cell service was too weak.
Parked the car in a farmstead drive and walked down the
drive
to ask to use the phone. Got a hold of AAA and spent an
hour
and a half talking to the lady who owned the farmstead.
Once I was talked out I went to the car.
It was now in the shade.
So I tried to start it and it started on the 2nd try.
When AAA arrive I ask them to follow me to John Day.
He said it was 98 today.

Dan R Swims and drives to Shasta.
Car ran fine and I arrived just before the restaurants closed.
Called Ted while I waited for my dinner
and I have instructions to remedy to the problem.
No issue today and about 10-15 degrees cooler.
Easier day today. Made it to Madras by 3:45 and temps
in 80s. Visisited the John Day fossil beds visitor center
and then the painted hills.
Madras to Sweet Home for Foster Lake 2 mile swim.
Day started with a visit to Erikson Aircraft Collection
at the Madras Airport. Afterwards a drive to Sisters
and over McKenzie Pass to Sweet Home.
Just got home, another 12 hour drive. 5 am to 5 pm.
Beat the Oregon heat wave, thus no fuel issues.
Diverted at Chehalis, no great traffic issues,
but extra distance and time.
I prefer moving vs stop and go traffic for 60 miles.
From Renton took Rainer ave and MLK to Madison & a
drive thru the arboretum.
Great week and a new list of things to fix.
1672 miles total with 563 on the return home.

Tech Department.
Dan R experience vapor lock on his Shasta
Tour..
He has been driving his roadster for 3 years
without this problem but his trip was
through HOT (high 90’s) central Oregon.
He was unable to continue to John Day with
the roadster stuttering, running poorly and
finally stalling and not restarting. After the
roadster and driver cooled down the road-
ster started and drove ok.. To reduce heat on
the rubber fuel lines he bought some heat
reflective tape and wrapped the lines above
the exhaust manifold. This appeared to help
but the weather got cooler and he had a re-
occurrence of the problem near Mt Shasta
When it was hot and was stuck behind slow
trucks up a long hill. The problem did not oc-
cur at Shasta or on the way home.
Dan is getting some better heat reflective
sleeves for new fuel lines, Fuel pump rebuild
kit and a new carb heat shield to attempt to
resolve the problem.

Page 37 Northwest Datsun Enthusiasts
Here is a link to the Heat reflective tape that Dan
R purchased.
Bought the Velcro seam version because it is
listed to fit 1/4"ID-1/2" OD hose.
Also got some 3/4" for the 5/16" ID bypass hose.
