It's Alive!

I had to steal the battery from my truck to get it running, but here it is! The carburetor has been sitting for so long the gaskets are dried up. So I will have to rebuild it when I get back from vacation. But I was able to drive it up and down the driveway tonight. Once I get the carb rebuilt and get it running a little better, I'll shoot some video and post that as well.

Here is another shot of the engine. I have the muffler and air cleaner installed as well as all the ignition parts. To get the muffler installed I had to cut the flange off the header and weld it back on at the correct angle. I guess I could have just bought the right header, but what fun is that?
