Man I should really keep this thing up to date, but anyways, today was the big day! Got the rebuilt motor installed last weekend and fired it up for the first time today. Getting it to operating temp sucked. It was 40°f so I had to keep my foot on the gas to hold it at 1000 rpm. Once I was warm I figured out the real reason it didn't want to run, I was timed at 5° atdc. Got that smoothed out right away then shut her off to make my hot adjustments. It'll be nice to have may baby back soon. Just gotta break in the engine and adjust the new clutch and I should be rolling.
