Put a new Holley carb on my motor. Had the carb for about a year in the box. Ran great during the break in period. Car sat for 3 weeks before I got back to it . Went to start it and it poured gas everywhere. Took it apart and found the float had sunk. Had a hole in it and was full of gas. Mechanic buddy got me a new float and put it in. All hooked up but won't run..No gas at the carb. Might have done something wrong or fuel pump not working....damn carb....2 hours use then no good...damn carb....damn float....dammit.
So what did we do this weekend? Took in a car show Sunday, gee Dan don't know how I managed to drive there and back with the old Edelbrock carb, don't need no stinking FI. Came home and cut grass again, FYI new tractor is EFI.
Sold my panhead to my son,, owned it since 78,,big tear in my beer,but I know its going to a good home had to teach him about foot clutch and handshift,,huge learning curve, he is a natural,
Went to Waterdown thats in Rockton!!! Sort of like May 24th weekend thats not on May 24th.
