Recent workings...

I have been having a rich condition for teh last few runs I have made in the hot rod and noticed a bit of fuel puddling on teh intake manifold one evening. I decided it was a good time to tear the secondary carb apart and see if anything looked askew.





Everything looked fine but I gave it a good cleaning and reassembled everything, cleaned up the engine and tried to crank it - I was met with a small whirr and a resounding click. I pulled the first spark plug and fuel poured out of the block, a scene that continued for the other 7. Next up was draining the oil, I filled up one drain pan and then another. Flooding doesn't describe it.

For the past day it has sat with the plugs out and everything trying to evaporate, I fogged the cylinders as well. I will put it all back together this week and see what's what.
