Mr.Yuck Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Well I got the 51 running. The Ignition switch is bad so I had to hot wire it, odd because I used the (-) to the (-) coil. I'm not used to this backwards stuff it makes my head hurt. Anyway still a lot to do. The carb leaks like crazy so it will need a rebuild. Not sure about the fuel pump, I took the bowl off to clean everything up. it had 1/4" of crud in it. Front shoes should be here next week and I'll get going on the brake system. I'm hoping to drive it before too long. 7 Quote
