That is the longest my truck ran with out someone on the gas petal in 18 months. Amazing what some vacume line will do.

It ran until I reved it up to 4K then sputterd and died when it was just about back down to idle. I will have to work on that next.

WOO HOO!!!

I prefer rollers for all my automotive painting, you get that rich textured look. Also it is fun to sponge on a faux finish like stucco or a masonary look, adds that special touch to a good automotive paint job.

I'm just funnin with ya though. Could be some crud in the carb. Pull the inlet and check the screen that is in there. If it is full of crud it would act just like a fuel pump problem. Sounds kind of like there is stuff down in the carb though, might take a while to flush it all out if you had a lot of gunk going through it in the first place.

By your command........

Checked it no crud.... Might be the spark plugs they could be fouled from all my attemps at getting it running. I does sound like it is missing.
