After all that I needed a break from body work. Time to get the motor looking good and running. Ya see, before I started tearing into everything the carb was full of mud dauber nests and the motor looked like a$$.

I rebuilt the carb, not too hard. Put it on, hooked up power, and started cranking. (well, after ner plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and soaking the cylinders in penetrant for a few) She fired.....kinda. ran for about 6 seconds and that was it. Good enough for me. I knew everything was there to make it run, so time to tear into it. Pulled the VC, manifolds, all accessories, etc. Everything was DIRTY.
