Title: June Fiero Club Meeting
Post by: Fierofool on June 06, 2020, 07:43:15 pm: I've seen no mention of our June meeting, so I wanted to mention a few things.

Scott and I talked today and he said that we can hold the meeting at his shop again on June 13. Time is 10 AM. It will be dual workshop session. I will continue to work on my replacement motor for the 86SE and Scott will be doing an AC compressor replacement and system evac and recharge.

A couple of things I wanted to mention at the business meeting is the RFTH 25 scouting trip on June 20. I also would like to make a suggestion about non-members and total strangers who ask us to list their cars for sale in our Market Place section.

If you don't know where Scott's Fiero Service Center is located, please email us at GeorgiaFieroClub@Gmail.Com We will give you the information to find us.

I would also like to ask if the club will furnish lunch again as we did last month.

You may want to put this one on the calendar. You don't need to create a new topic; this one can be attached.

Post by: TopNotch on June 13, 2020, 09:06:32 pm: Today's meeting saw Charlie's engine completed and ready to go back in the car, by the time I left. More work might have been done, but a transformer supplying power to the shop blew and power was off for a couple of hours.
Here are a couple of pictures.

Welding the battery tray.

The welder is used at the shop often, with no problems. But it could have been the last straw for a failing transformer.

Did they have to replace the transformer? Or was it just a transformer fuse?

What usually happens is that a squirrel will step from the energized line to the (grounded) transformer case, and blow the fuse. (Which also blows the squirrel into next week.) The fuse is about the size of a slightly short, fat paper towel tube.

Power company people call squirrels "pole rats". If you look around, you may find the little sumbeetch laying at the bottom of the pole.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on June 14, 2020, 11:57:28 am: After they figured this out, they didn't take precautions so it couldn't happen again?
Title: Re: June Fiero Club Meeting
Post by: Fierofool on June 14, 2020, 12:25:41 pm: It sounded like it was up on the road behind, about 1/4 mile away. Several sharp curves up there. No sirens, though. Maybe Forsyth defunded them.
