I got my engine to run last night! Only ran it about 10 seconds, but it sounded good. I want to thank everyone who has given me pointers and tips, I couldn't have gotten this far with out them. Now that it's running, are their any recommendations for other parts to inspect? My next plan is to rebuild the carb as it is leaking a bit.

Sincerely,

Paul Barrow

Congratulations! It's always exciting to get one running.

Lol, I actually don't have a car for it yet. Plan is to build a rat rod.

I stumbled across the videos you put on Instagram. That’s a pretty cool setup you have.
Looking forward to seeing your rat rod project!

Ha, thanks and739. I was a little concerned about that pallet, but it barely shook.
