Some of you probably saw the video when I brought her home. She started hard and wouldn't idle worth a crap. After hauling her back to the guy that did final assembly of the engine to fix the rear seal leak, I messed with her off and on till I found the timing was way off. I kept blaming it on the carb, sand in the tank, or maybe a vacuum leak. Well, I had wired up the generator and mounted a switch-ammeter box so I could reach it from the seat but hadn't found out if everything worked. Things work great now. I will get a video in the next couple days so you can hear how nice she idles down.
Now all I have to do is clean up and paint the fenders and the hood, mount some lights and she'll be done, I hope. Oh yea, I need decals too. The starter and lights were added way back by the original owner so I kinda wanted to keep it like Leroy had it. I guess it will be an ongoing project because I want to put the original Zenith carb back on whenever I get it rebuilt. I have a MS off the 47WC parts tractor on her now. Video tomorrow maybe.
