Well it's been a learning experience for sure! Really glad we took it on!
Wood...YH figured out...heck no! I only figured out which screws to turn...It appears to be set-up well. Get this...it would run and die after 30 seconds...crank it and go for 30 seconds and die...UNTIL I figured out the wire leading to the pos on the electric fuel pump was hooked up at the starter terminal(by me)...it was the only place it would reach and I did not know what that wire was  SOOO it would get fuel pressure each time it was cranked and run dry Hard to diagnos when it works part of the time!
ALL is well! |

Stang; I agree with Paul; Where are the pics man? You know it is a persons responsibility to keep all us nosy guys in the loop. Let us all drool over it and send you lots of "props". Seriously tho, musta been a great time with your sons.

I just read the wiring deal and that is funny. You just invented the first turn key carburator/fuelpump. Good luck on the voyage I wish I was with you in mine.
