Back at it after 6 weeks with a new grandson in Boston, and a 3,000 mile motorcycle ride from Texas to the Blue Ridge Parkway and back.
got some parts for the Holley Carb. It had been pretty abused by the PO. replaced some screws and seals and new gaskets.
accelerator pump rubber was good, no cracks and still flexible
not sure what they scraped this with but gave it a good soak in carb cleaner. The float was ok, although the needle valve oring was hard as a rock.
Replaced the gaskets with new from Holley and set the float level so gas was just dribbling out of the sight glass. Set the idle screws at 1.5 turns from closed. This let me start the truck and get it running.
First time outside in awhile.
in the wild. Well at least at the tax office getting title transferred to Texas.
