After 4 years of repair rebuild and cleanup I started the old girl up today.
I put 10 gallons of fresh premium grade gas in the tank and after cranking with no plugs and checking the compression in all cyls all at (90 to 95 not to bad for being cold, I'll check again with the engine warmed up). The fuel pumped into the bowl and up to the carb. A little dribble of gas down the air cleaner and with choke out fingers crossed I stomped on the starter. Within a couple of turns over what a amazing sound and feeling. I still have a couple of issues with electrical but SHE'S RUNNING. My goal this year has been to have it ready for History Road show at Reynolds Museum on June 10-11. See you there Howie and Fox looking forward to it!
