Re: Old Girl (aka Project Underhaulin)

Very productive day in the garage with Old Girl. Got a few of the glitches worked out; re-worked the tail light wiring, tuned the carb, adjusted the timing, and got the dash lights and temp gauge working. Took her for a short ride, she's making progress, and she's got 10.1 miles on the clock now. Found a couple more things to go after; there is a loud screech when the steering is turned to the right and the carb has a dead spot off idle. I'm pretty sure the screech is a lack of grease in the front end so that should be an easy fix. The carb may take some trial and error, but I think a swap of springs and metering rods will clear it up. Bottom line, we're having a blast working on the Old Girl and look forward putting some more miles on her.
