Ive hit a point where I can’t really think of much else to do. I think it’s ready for some use at this point. I’ve been eyeballing some other projects pretty hard since I’ve slowed down on this.

Really wanting to pick up a 70’s shovelhead and make an old school lane splitter. If that happens I probably will be on hiatus from here for a while lol
We're boring already?
I’ve been looking for a shovel for a while. Nah, you guys ain’t boring. I ended up making a Facebook page
just to find a damn motorcycle since craigslist is dead and everyone uses the FB marketplace now. So it’s been eating up my time searching for a bike. Would like to get one before I have to go back to work.

You’ve just been bitten by a another bug...I’ve been looking for a shovel for a while. Nah, you guys ain’t boring. I ended up making a Facebook page
I had a 71 Challenger, then a 71 Chevelle all the while my Soft tail took up my Sunday mornings while my 70 Chevy C30 took me to work every day. The El Camino didn’t last too long but when I found my 69 K5 I knew it was time for maybe my last project...I suspect you will still work on the smoke wagon
Finally got around to looking into why this carburetor failed. Dismantled it almost entirely. Flip it over to get the tower off the throttle body and low and behold a crack through the throttle body. Right where a tower bolt is. I suspect the PO overtorqued this and cracked it.
Looking into a new throttle body for this is $200+ ad in the $50 rebuild kit and I’m at $250+ just to rebuild this thing. Not even sure I could resell it for that once it’s rebuilt and cleaned up. Sheeesh.

I am actually surprised I thought for sure it had a blown diaphragm. It was spraying fuel out in a 6ft stream before I took it off lol
Maybe it was having an identity crisis and identified as fuel injection
You can buy them factory rebuilt for this lol. Well, I have a box full of parts now at least lol
That's an odd looking toilet. Is it one of those french bidets? No need for tp.
Jokes...Not a bad price for a carb.

I see them all the time on Craigslist $75 then rebuild it yourself...$125 & done
Got a new (to me) heavy heavy rolling cart today for $40. Going to use it as my oil changing station. Store my oil and filters etc., put my old rem line machinist box on top.
Got laid off from work until the shut down is over with.
That blows. Sorry to hear that.
Not really. I’m guaranteed coming back and I collect $1400 a week on unenjoyment
