The new shop. Progress.

Tmr is nice but to few spools.
Need at least many in 4 or 5 different gauges
 
one of those ended up in the dumpster when lawson lost out to tifco, at work. I was a little slow nabbing it, coworker got it.
 
Clark, the forklift, has been giving me fits.

Runs.
Doesn't run.
Runs like crap.
Runs.
Then randomly dies.

Sitting in the middle of the drive. On gravel, so I couldn't push it. Was 46* and windy. I started trying to figure out what was up. Plugged a spark detector in the #1 plug wire. No spark.. everything is hooked up. Cap and rotor are new. Coil is a year old. No spark from the coil when spark detector was installed between the coil and cap.

Pull the cap and crank it over. Can't see the spark in the points. They were closed again. Won't stay gapped. Set them and cranked down on the screws, again.

Has spark now. Still won't run. Fires on go juice. So no fuel. Pull the gas line from the carb, nothing when cranking.

Pulled the top off of the fuel pump. Gasket and internals look OK. Put it back together.

Get an electric pump out and some temp wires.

Getting dark and colder now.

Pulled the fuel filter out to put the fuel pump in to move it. Found this.PXL_20240310_232449586.jpg
Sucking air is not good for engine efficiency. Replaced it with a short section of brake tubing.

Fired right up.

Some days I just want to stay in bed.
