Still waiting for the silicon rubber fuel lines, but in the meantime disconnected the fuel filter and took a container with new fuel, connected to the fuel rail. I made sure to purge the questionable fuel. Cranked the engine, coughed and sputtered and the engine actually started. It was running extremely rough, couldn't even tell if it was all cylinders. Once I cleaned up some spilled fuel on the ground, I'll try again. The fuel level is set to 10 turns (10mm) below the bridge. I then set the nuts on the nozzles to 2.5 turns out from the bridge. I should pull the plugs just to see what they look like, hasn't been running in probably 5-10 years. As the engine ran, I could even hear the electric fuel pump running, thus fuel on the ground. I'm going to connect the fuel system back to kind of normal, where it will suck clean fuel from a gas can, as the tank is dirty. I also need to put some 20 weight or atf in the carbs, think I've used too heavy oil. I didn't have the engine running long enough to experiment with mixtures yet. I'll keep you posted, not out of the woods yet. Jim

BOT.... btw.. Matt have you finished your car?

Haha!! Not sure. Who would I ask for confirmation? ☺️
