Set out to troubleshoot my hard start ( hot or cold) issue on 2790....turned out to just be a missing plug for the mixture adjust setscrew hole. Little 1/8" unmetered leak can make quite a difference😀

Today I went for a nice drive in the crisp October air. And the car had no issues (real or imagined... whether my O2 sensor is participating is another story).
I am considering starting a thread for "what to do with a car that doesn't have any problems at the moment" on account of Dave's suggestion/sarcasm. What does one do when there isn't anything on the immediate gotta fix this list? j/k

I didnt do as much as planned since the SEDOC meeting got rained out, but that meant I was home to get my LEDs. Switched out the dome light, marker lights but I ordered the wrong size for the license plate (578 bulb, 44mm).
I need a tripod so i can take some good pictures at night.

Today, I filled the coolant and oil, charged the battery, confirmed the fuel pump was working, filled the carburetor with fuel, and failed to start the engine.
Just another day in the life!

Today, I came home from school to see a puddle of liquid oozing out of the garage door.

Fresh engine oil.
That's it. I'm done.

New lights installed for #docbrwn a couple of nights ago, while at the outdoor BTTF showing I thought #docbrwn was too dark so I added LED lighting in addition to the door LED's. Eventually all of the Delorean will be LED. Part of the electrical power that the D will use will come from the Sun via solar panels made to fit the Louvres. This will aid in the wonky electrical system the D currently has. Currently nothing installed depends on the D's electrical. (separate battery system)

Installed the louvre reinforcement bracket. Much easier than I would it would be especially with a pair of c-clamp locking pliers. I was a little bit concerned with how close to the edge some of the holes ended up being. Thankfully I didnt have to cut out a new slot though.
