Looking good! [emoji106] Hope you get it done by the show. If I have time off I’ll head up that way for the show been wanting to go for a few years but always was doing something.
 
I think she needs a tune, these waterproof plugs at $30 each for NOS. I cleaned them up, but it’s still running a bit rough.

Thank god for eBay. I’m trying to avoid replacing with Chinese made parts.

I bet you can get it to run smoother just by playing with the timing.

It was running damn good before it sat for two years. I’m buying a set of auto lite just for stock since what’s left in stock is what’s left.

I know I have rust in the fuel, so I’ve changed all the filters. Next up I’d taking apart the carb [emoji849][emoji22]

Ah, yeah, if you haven’t run it in a while, I’ll bet your carb will need a good cleaning.

Do you have fresh gas or two year old gas? New gas can’t sit long without turning thanks to the additives. Might as well be 10% water. I tried tracking sown a running issue with boat for weeks and weeks and eventually drained the tank and refilled. Came right back to life.

It’s new gas, I cleaned the inside of the tank really good. Added some sea foam and a shit ton of other fuel line cleaning cans in it.

I’ve ran it over the last two years and had fuel stabilizer. The way it just ran on a quick spin, it’s the carb, it’s stutters when it should be kicking down

Also bend the passenger side seat back into shape. It was smashed on the roll over IMG_8110.jpg



I need to order a rebuild kit, but I did clean the carb up, it was full of rust. [emoji849]
