Re: Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

Glad to hear that your motor is running well. Major milestone! I have my short block mostly together. Now I need to think about using the old cam or getting a new one.

The exhaust pipe is installed, and I started up the engine again. It really does sound good. It's nice when it's not burning the wires on the starter.

I'll have to post a You Tube video of the engine running now that the timing is set.

I ordered a pigtail for the Water Temperature Sensor and the electric choke. It would be helpful to know how hot the engine is, and to get the choke operational.
