[MBZ] 115 blower??

[Tom Hargrave]

True, I ran between Huntsville, AL and Nashville TN one a week and I slowed
down to 40 MPH climbing one particular hill. I used to get on the
interstate, push the pedal to the floor and let off at the other end. Most
of the time I drifted between 80 and 85 except for those darn hills..... 

Oddly enough, I would go no faster than 80 - 85 down hill which made no
since until I studied how the fuel injection system worked. The engine is
governed to a top speed of 5500 RPM.


Thanks,

Great running, but not capable of climbing a hill at the speed limit in most
states.
