Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime

After that we were talking about Whitey. I told him it wasn't running. I've had problems where once it sat awhile it wouldn't start. I thought it was losing prime on the fuel. He asked if I had beat on the carb with a hammer? I said no. I filled the bowl with fuel and we beat on it when I started it. Tada it ran! We went for a ride and decided it was time for the muffler to come off. It leaked everywhere and sounded like it was on the verge of stopping up with all the loose pieces inside. Out came the sawzall and five minutes later it sounds like a hot rod Log Truck. It actually sounds pretty good. The carb is rich enough that it doesn't pop on deceleration.
