Virgo if I have one it will be in the milk crate with all those other gaskets and piston rings and such. i'm not sure If I do or not but ti doesnt hurt to look. The crate is right near that axle housing and the radiator.

Fixed the Problem
Well once I got back to JP's we welded up some slider braces and tried to fix the untame idling situation....Well we had no success. So I drove it back to the house and decided I would take the carb off so I could go back over and fab up and new mounting bracket. Well wala there was my problem I had 2 huge holes in the mouting bracket. When I first put it on I had to shave the side down to get the nuts to fit...well I guess I went too far and the vibrations over time punched the nuts thru the walls. So JP came over and we put some JB weld on it and turned the carb sideways and rigged it up. Hooked everything up and boom it purred like a kitty. I bought a tacometer and it was idling at 1200 rpm so I loosened the distributor turned it back and down to like 800 it went down. So it was definatley a good day of wrenchin and gettin a tag. I'm so damn happy that my 40 is comin along....I had the fear that it would be sittin for a long damn time. Thanks to all who have helped in the wrenchin..JP... and the information.

Good to hear Chuck I'd like to see that 40 running down the road at a speed faster then I go on my road bike. Can't wait.
Another aside this number 999 1 post from being the first upstater to 1000. I don't count Malph since so many of his posts came in the chit chat section when they used to count them. Mud lifer/whore here I come.
