I'm back. Spent the summer doing other things, including but not limited to restoring a 25 foot folding trimaran, building and fielding a pair of arbalests, sending a kid off to college and so on and so forth.
Now I'm picking up where Evan left off. Hannibal has been moved from deep storage to ICU. Pouring a little gas down the carb it runs. (good). See through fuel filter just upstream of carb shows nada. (bad) Disconnecting fuel line from carb and cranking does not produce a fuel spill. (bad) Disconnecting supply hose from fuel pump and connecting a piece of see through hose and a vacuum pump shows fuel and corn flakes. (very bad).
I guess we'll start with cleaning the fuel supply. Electrical system needs help, like a new harness. Need to swap out the tub with the one sitting on a dolly next to it...furniture needs everything, so do doors..... and so on and so forth.
The self imposed deadline is that this truck will be fully functional at the Spruce Cabin event this spring.....wish me luck.
