Running with jumper wire to the fuel pump. Will need to sort out alternator, voltage regulator, and such. But it’ll start and run. The aged and dried out float chamber somehow was kind to me. Must be my angels. 😊 Next up I need to finish the front brakes and make it roll on down the road!!!

Starts with spray can! Now I have to sort out my fuel delivery. Was relying on the original pump which sat for decades. Did I do anything to it before attempting to put it into service? Nope. So the pump was getting a little warm but not clicking or humming. So I disconnected it. Did a quick contact cleaning and also think I unstuck the plunger. That’s just taking each end cover off. Didn’t do the full exploration. But I did pour a little acetone down the intake and output and each time blew them out with air. Also I managed to dig out another used pump. Somewhere in my stash should be at least one new pump but you know how it goes sometimes. So next items to sort out: fuel delivery, why the horn wants to beep, hang the rear section of exhaust and get a short mid pipe made up, get timing dead on, let the fuel tank drain down and then reseal the sending unit, general inspection of coolant and oil retention and I’m sure a much longer list to grow.
