Update on carb. Didn’t get around to putting gas on until this morning and tried to crank it. Had gas leak at the fuel pump intake side. The 5/16 fitting was gauled beyond repair. Trip to hardware was fruitless but found a barb that would fit so went with it. Ohh I was glad I put a shutoff valve on the line ðŸ˜
Got that fixed and poured more gas in the carb a couple times to get it started. On the third try it stayed running. I cut it off after about 40 seconds and got the water hose and filled the radiator and had a major leak.
Freeze plug had a hole on it. Cleaned it as good as I could and when I finish this post going to mix up some JB weld.
Will let you know how that goes tomorrow after letting it set up overnight.
Cheers and wish me luck
