well nothing left to do but fire it up, or at least try...  so Test Fire 3.0

did a few cycles to get fuel to the fuel bowl, and realized had a few small fuel leaks, so tightened up a few connections. and then flipped the switch and the car turned over and attempted to start, then the next tap of the starter and bammm we had ignition.

car fired up and ran ok, turned it off, and then attempted to start it and it fired right back up.

did a little tweaking and tuning, got it set to 18 BTDC and then adjusted idle then the mixture screw. Got it down to around 600 rpm and it stayed happy. this is on the NOS Carter RJH-08 150S, if i go under this then it sputters no matter what i do with the mixture screw. note that the car also has newer valves and setup done by PO.

Adjusted Idle Screw & Mixture Screw. only able to get it down to around 600-650 rpm, anything lower it starts to sputter no matter what i adjust.

revved it up a few times

after adjusting and getting it some what happy, decided to back it out of the garage for the first time in over 4 years !!

Took it for a quick trip around the block, a little rusty driving it but enjoyed every second of it !!
