Only starting problem was the float stuck on the carb. Pretty amazing considering all the parts I took apart and rebuilt. Need some more break work and have a minor engine leak at the oil pump. Back to the body next week. Added a short video of the engine running on photobucket. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,705 back yard wrench turner | | back yard wrench turner Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,705 | It's a great feeling when it moves on it's own power.
