Defining Insanity
After almost 8 years of being off the road and sitting, numerous posts here about it, SHE FINALLY LIT! Couldn't get a video of the first start in years but damn the smoke! No radiator or cooling system I didn't run her long but revs fine, idles fine. Sounds like she runs strong. Woke up and had a strong urge to try to start it again for some reason, So I went out, turned the IP and fuel pump on, and hit the solenoid. Same thing as usual but said screw it. Ether baby. Grabbed the can and started spraying the intake. She rattled couple times but starter sped up. So, Kept at it. Floored the IP by hand and kept at it. She finally came to life and woke up. I haven't checked oil pressure or anything yet. Tomorrow after work, I'm going to put my mechanical gauge on and see what it is. I may do that tonight now that I can't sleep But damn....She runs smooth and sounds beautiful... I'll post the video once it uploads.
Just want to say a big thanks to those who helped with hard to find or affordable parts and help to @<a href="http://www.oilburners.net/forums/member.php?u=23014" target="_blank">FarmerFrank</a> @<a href="http://www.oilburners.net/forums/member.php?u=24708" target="_blank">Waystro</a> and others from long ago.
Its a mess, but its just for now. Things are NOT as close to the fan as the video shows. Momma doesn't want me to wake up the neighbors......" I won't, I promise. "
