Manx Club

#1 on coil is negative side (-) #15 on coil is positive side (+) Wire from ignition switch goes to #15(+) positive side of coil. Wires to coil from choke and if you have fuel cutoff solenoid on carb also attach to #15(+) With using points wire from distributor attaches to #1(-) to negative side of c...

Nice Manx you have there. Yes could try the smaller idle jets at home to see if it makes any difference in the way it runs.
With the idle air/fuel adjustment screws should be about a 1-1/2 turns out on the average. If your turning them out more, it means idle jets are to small.

I will be at Big Bear. It sound like it is going to be a large turnout for the 25th anniversary event. I have a Orange Metalflake Manx Kick Out with a Tan top. I tried to add picture, but for some reason this new hosting site will not allow me to open my album. .60 idle jets are large for a 1600cc e...

The Empi Hpmx carbs are copies of Weber IDF and use the same jets as them. Depending on were you live you should be able to find jets for them at places that sell VW parts. Shops such as Pierce Manifolds in Gilroy, Ca sell Weber parts and jets, CB Performance in Farmersville, Ca sell Weber parts to....

What kind of Empi dual carbs do you have?
You may want to install the next step down in idle jet size.

All buggies are welcome to all the events. Even ones that are not fiberglass. There were buggies that had metal long before Bruce decided to make a body out of fiberglass and members that have them are part of the club. Bruce came from a background of building sailboats and wanted a buggy to explore...

It is a nice looking buggy, it does have some similar lines like a Meyers Manx. There was thousand of copies made of a Manx all across the country and around the world. There were two brothers that bought a Meyers Manx in the early 1960s right after Bruce Meyers started selling them. They bought a b...

With only one picture it not going to be easy to tell what it is. With the way the windshield is mounted to the hood, it more than likely not a Meyers Manx.

Watching the videos I can see your ride is worst then a Class 11 with the shorter wheelbase the buggy has.
You are some tuff people to do that. More power to you and keep having fun.

Thanks Jon for posting all the pictures and how you did. It looks like you all are having a great time with racing the Manx.

With less than 30 days to go for the beginning of this fun trip across the country, who still plans on going?

I still planning on traveling with the group to the non event.

I just read that the Manx on the Banx is not going to be an official event. Are there still people that want to travel to the non event together as a group?

For the Kick Out SS that was given away, I fab up a bracket that fit inside the tunnel to hold a small Wilwood master cylinder 5/8" bore. Modified the clutch cable cross shaft to fit the clevis end of the master cylinder. And use the small remote reservoir and hose that came with the master cyl...

Looking good. I never knew that they made aftermarket exhaust manifolds for Corvair. Are they a lot larger ID then stock. Yes the SACO hyd clutch setup works well. In the past they had some maching problems with the master cylinders. That been awhile back, so I sure they have it fixed. Hopefully we ...
