Got some scheduled R&R (hopefully) starting tomorrow, so will be on hold for a week or two.

Thanks!
Good to hear! A little extra to keep what appears to be the original carburetor is worth it.

Check youtube for Q-Jet rebuild videos. Watch s many videos as you can and find one that makes sense to you before you open it, then watch that a few more times.

Make sure you change that oil ASAP so it is not watered down with excess fuel.

Fix that rusty tank! Or add an glass fuel filter so you can see if it needs to be cleaned.
