Re: Penny

So ever since I got the carb back together, I’ve struggled with keeping the engine idling. The fast idle screw was not adjusted properly at all, so it was keeping the throttle blades open way too far at idle. The guy who rebuilt that carb oughta be fired for that one
After playing with the adjustment, I finally got the engine running decent enough to take a spin around the neighborhood. Of course, it would be a more pleasurable experience if you don’t run out of gas, but at least there was a decent picture spot.

I took the tailgate off in preparation to start pulling the bed. I want all the space to be able to clean up the rear frame rails, suspension pieces, and whatever else I find
