@saltycoconuts your craftsmanship is better than mine!
Thanks for the offer on some info. Might bug you with a question or two down the road.
Drove it to the grocery store today. Made it there and back In one piece.

Tossed a Hallman manual boost controller on the 77 over the weekend. Seems like a nice unit but still need to play around with it.

Upcycled a bracket to have it stand-off Tor's air filter box a bit. Only place I could fit it and still be able to easily adjust.

The other day, I noted cracks in the fuel feed line. Not leaking yet, but definitely due for immediate replacement.

Had a local tractor mechanic to rebuild the piece. 20,30€ dead cheap.

Bleeding the fuellines however was a PITA. It ran for 5-15 sec and then it died again.
It was air in the main fuel line from the tank.
Took me ~15 start attempts to get it running.
Should have followed my own advice, I occasionally gave here: Pull through some 3l of fuel with an external pump until it runs free of bubbles, then reconnect without letting air in, then prime and bleed fuel filter. Would start right up. I need to get a new external pump, as my old one died. Back in business is what matters.
