Sunday was the first time I've stretched the old girl's legs this year...and only the second time in about 8~9 months. First drive since the Cliff's upgrades on the carb too and it was a blast!
It rained here several days last week and since I live on a dirt road, that means no dust. They also graded one day last week so no puddles of muddy water.
By the way, the carb rebuild and adding the choke back allowed me for the first time EVER to be able to start the car after a long period of sitting without pouring some gas down the carb.
It started with about 5 seconds of the starter.
