Just wanted to say THANKS for the advice everyone gave! It's been a while, but I got her up and running yesterday and she purrs like a kitten!
I need to rebuild the carb, as the accelerator pump is shot, but I was able to drive it around the block a couple times yesterday.
PS. I used the eastwood tank restoration kit to clean the tank, time consuming smelly process, but the tank looks sparkling new now!
Here's quick vid of her running
261 first idle You can also see that I recoated the exhaust manifold with a baked on finish and powder coated the intake manifold.
