Almost..
Turned over the new motor today for the first time since she was rebuilt,
checking things out. Oil pressure went right to 60 lb. while cranking, oil
dripping out of rocker and flowing from the new #6 cyl stainless line the
rebuilder added to aid lubrication back there. Ran the gas line into a pail
to clean out the lines and empty the tank of the old gas, put 5 gal of fresh
92 octane in her. Getting good spark, timing close (static), plug wires in
correct order, etc. Hooked the fuel line up and cranked her over to fill the
float bowls and gas starts shooting out of the (yet unhooked) breather
fitting (to the charcoal canister) and dripping out the bottom of the carb.
Looks like a stuck float, have to do a quickie rebuild tomorrow and order a
rebuild kit for both I guess.. Anything else I should check?
Thanks
