Hard Cold Start
You can unhook the choke cables at the carb and move the levers manually to check function. Also make sure they dont stick down. I have seen many do that. Once you check functionality then I would inspect the choke cable. Jacket could be broken, a cable could be snapped or it could be broken away from the console

Yes they move noticeably. Maybe a ¼" or more at full choke

Be very careful if you cut that up or when it's cut up!! Stumps like that come slamming back down when cut from the trunk. I have seen videos that didn't end well when somebody was in the wrong place when that stump slammed back down!

Maintenance crank seal service
Speedi sleeves are very thin! Sometimes it helps to heat one and cool the other to aide assembly

Maintenance crank seal service
The main part of the damper should have a rubber ring molded in the middle of it. Inspect it for damage. Its possible it is torn or out of balance and that's what destroyed the seal.

Let's show vintage racing pictures. I'll start.
Wonder how they got that up on the table? Forklift? The table looks fixed and no apparent overhead crane

Need ideas changing my mirrors
I probably have a set of extra frames but there would be shipping added. Terrapin probably has some too. They are stainless, so they will polish up nicely even if they're dingy to start with

Parts Wanted: Need A Good S30 Hood
I believe the young guys who are in Georgia are making reproduction hoods, hatches, as well as other panels. Their company name escapes me right now. I think a hood is about $600

1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
So I worked on the differential brace some more. I finally got the 3/8" steel from the machine shop a couple of weeks ago. He gave it to me free because it took so long. The sides had some beveling to them so I had to do some clean up first I checked a little more and then let Cody MIG it up for me. He was gonna TIG it but the MIG was close by so we went that route n it Cody wasn't pleased with the welds because the feed was being a little erratic, probably because the wire was dirty. I will do a little clean up on it and make it black.Should be fine for what I'm trying to do. I can post up the CAD file for the plate if anyone is interested
