Back from vacation! A weel at Cape Cod is always a good thing.
I installed the new plug and seal in my Z-S carb, which took care of the leak
from the float chamber. Still have the weeping hose,
which is now causing a little gas to run down the fuel line and drip onto the
transmission! Hope to have the part to repair that in a
couple of days.
But I decided to try and start the engine anyways, since the drip was very
slow. After unplugging the coil wire at the coil, I turned the
engine over several times to build oil pressure. After about 5 minutes of
cranking (about 10 - 15 seconds at a time), no indication of any
pressure on the gauge. Is there another connection besides the oil pressure
line? I do have that hooked up properly. Any other thoughts
on why there would be no pressure in an engine that ran great 6 or so months
ago, hasn't been opened up and is full of fresh 20w-50 oil
with a new filter? Or did I just not crank it enough?
My blog below is updated with a couple of pics. And the solution to the
'parking lights on' problem!
