Ordered carb kit for the Carter W-1, and rebuilt the carb. Reinstalled.
Fuel lines from mechanical fuel pump appear clear and solid, but the diaphragm in the pump is bad. Just going to replace the pump rather than rebuild. USPS is taking its sweet time to deliver.
Slowly flap-disc-ing sections of the the frame and priming. Knocked down some of the few rust bubbles on the cab and am just testing out rattle-can colors to see if there's something I like. I want to keep a little character so won't be knocking out the dents and creases (there aren't many).
New 12V battery cranks the motor over well, and replaced the coil with a Pertronics 12v Flamethrower.
It looks like I might have the motor running before I figure out what to do for wheels and tires on this old beast. That's the real head-scratcher.
