Hi gang,
Les came out this weekend and actually got my sprite started for the first
time in at least 15 years! The good news is the engine seems in good shape,
the bad news was the carbs. The jets are stuck tight and after tearing apart
the carbs to unsucessfully try to unstick them, my carbs are now leaking gas
like sieves. So I'm going to take off my gas tank this week and get it cleaned
out and then i need to rebuild the carbs or something. After that, she should
run. In fact, now she really wants to run :) Les just bumped the key and she
started up scaring us both. She wasn't even hooked up to any gas.
Next prob will probably be the master cylinders. Anyone have advice for that?
I'd like to take a moment here to thank Les for flying out to Pittsburgh to
stay with me for the weekend and piss around with my car. You're one hell of a
guy Les, thanks!
