It's Alive!


Filled the tank yesterday. But found a leaking petcock, so I held rags up to soak up the 1/2 gallon of fuel that drained out. So I fixed the petcock and refilled the tank. It took a jump from the car, but the engine roared to life!

I still need to adjust the idle and sync the carbs. But it runs. I took it around the block and it went well.

Just need to re-register it and reinstitute the insurance and I am good to go.

It has been an interesting experience. Fun and frusturating, but a good learning experience.
