What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

[MIKESAD50]

Yeah I got out and drove my truck down to the shop to work on a shop project that has turned in to a nightmare but it is a Volvo and not a fun project.

At least you drove your truck - I'm envious! Really nice truck!

Today I replaced all the gaskets, seals, o-rings, washers etc. on my leaking carburetor. Sheesh, shouldn't have to do this to a brand new carb.

Tomorrow should be the big day: take it off the jacks, add coolant, prime the float bowls and test fire. Only a 2 month setback, grrrr. Wish me luck and a dry garage floor!

I only say this to make you feel better. I'm two months away from getting back into the garage (but I'm working as I can in the basement). It'll be -3 degrees tomorrow night. (Fargo, ND will have a wind chill of -65 degrees tonight!) A third of my 184 wires are strewn all over the place; the others are on the spool. I might run this year, but it's looking doubtful. It's still the best hobby there is!

I'm going to nickname you "Aristotle" because all your comments are so profound!

I am humbled, but you won't have to wait very long to see me screw up!

Starts, runs, no leaks so far on a brief test fire.

Doors hung, door adjustment close, will need more fussing when i get the fenders on.
