I got the IIA fired up last night. I still have the bulkhead ripped out, along with the rest of the front of the body, but I had to at least hear it run before going foward with the body work. It took me a fuel pump tear down, and a carb tear down to figure out that the tank side fuel line was clogged! Its always the thing you don't expect.
the guy I bought from had done a rebuild on the motor, but had never fired it up. It ran fine. I plan to wheel it outside on dollies this weekend, and get it tuned to idle properly. I figure if I work out all the mechanical kinks, and find everything he did'nt do, then by the time I finish the bulkhead/body work, it'll be ready for the road!
