Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics

Got the new starter in, added more gas, primed the carb and it fired on first hit of the switch. Would not idle, so looks like the used carb that "came out of a running vehicle" was bogus. So a new carb is in the future. Tach works, did not get it hot enough to check the engine and trans temp. PS works. Transfer case having an issue with L-H selector but could just need ran a little in 4wd to lube things up. I think I wired the gas gauge backwards, when I turn on the key it dives to past empty. Mufflers are a LOT quieter than my Chevelle but wife still heard in the greenhouse and thinks they are loud so all is good.
