Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

I soldered on the H.E.I pigtail on. it was a hassle because all the wires were burnt and the colors were hard to distinguish. however I got it done and done correctly. here is the good part.. I dropped a washer into the motor got distracted and started the motor. it screamed like a velociraptor being gang raped in prison.so my recently resurrected truck is now broken. the GOOD news is that It sounds like its a stuck valve. I don't believe its gotten into the cylinder. that's really as good as something like this gets. I will pull the carb, distributor, and manifold and then try and locate the washer. if I'm lucky I will be able to remove it with a magnet and re assemble from there. worst case I will have to remove the head and fix a valve. this was a BIG mistake and I have no one but myself to blame. I'm bummed but I can do this. I warm you this video is painful to watch. any moral and technical support will be appreciated.
