Fixed the brake problem I was having last night, installed an oil pressure gauge, and putzed around with the carb again.

I just can't seem to get the carb right so I'm taking it to a pro later today to tune it.

Now I'm having a heck of a time starting it. Just won't fire unless I squirt starting fluid in the carb. Once it fires she runs OK but not right at idle. Get the RPM's over 1,500 and she pulls really strong though. I think I have the secondary and power valve right. Just not the primary side. Might be timing. I just don't know anymore.


...sometimes you gotta just step away and let an old hand show you the ropes properly I guess.
