I drug this thing home a couple of months ago & it has sat since because I've been busy. The previous owner told me it should run if I clean out the gas tank (15 year old gas) and rebuild the carb.
I finally sat down & rebuilt the carb last weekend. Though since I still have not drained & cleaned the tank I can't re-hook the fuel lines.
I did run a host to a bottle of gas & to my great surprise the old truck started right up!
I swear - it sat for 15 years. Though it smoked & coughed I think it needed to have some blood circulate to lube all the old parts.
I've got a layoff coming in a week - I thought I'd flush the tank & lines & get it running proper then.
Once I get it road worthy I'll let you guys know. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy Midget Farmer, thanks for the update, please keep us in the loop, and good luck. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | Where on the Bolt we demand proof!

The next milestone will be when it actually moves under its own power!
