Re: 1980 Short Stepper Budget Build
Well, after I got it all cleaned up, I took it out for a drive, seemed to work good, but started a little hard when hot. When I got home, I pulled the top of the carb off and checked the float level. Float level was good. Put the top of the carb on, and started it up. Forgot to hook the fuel line up, and had a nice flame thrower. I shut the engine off, and lucky I had a fire extinguisher right there. I was feeling sick, I had to make sure the fire was out, and go to work. It took all day Wednesday to clean up the mess, I learned that the powder in a extinguisher is pretty corrosive, and it covered my new motor, my freshly painted truck, and my 2 harleys. After I cleaned up the mess, it looks like the only damage I have is a few damaged wires, and I will have to touch up a small spot of paint on the bottom of the hood. I also had to pull the carb off to polish it up a little, as that fast it already started to tarnish. All in all it could have been alot worse.
