Updates... choke and high speed idle are sorted. The current combination is so cold blooded that a functioning choke is a necessity. Reset the tank float and unfortunately the gas gauge now works...it's slightly horrifying at the rate it heads towards empty.
Had the truck out in a couple of rain storms and can verify the wipers mostly work. Still running a little rich so I've changed the rods (attempting #3 again with the orange spring this time).
Still on the hunt for a set of Halibrands.
Odds and ends are getting wrapped up just in time for it's 1500km trip in June.
