Took it out of the garage for a spin this am. Interesting thing is, I have not started it since the return from the RT66. The Clewett system is flawless if used regularly. If let to sit for a couple of weeks, it will not fire up on first revo. It takes a 15 to 25 second turn over to fire. I am thinking it related to oil pressure - not ignition.

Been a while since I fired up the old girl ,usually try ever month but life gets in the way,started very cold blooded and spat and farted for a short time then came right.
Really think this is a strong engine but the future is more carb work and timing setup as I think my dizzy is 1 tooth out, I know it can run better but have no time to do it @ the moment.
Really enjoyed my time tinkering,will find time to do more as it takes my mind off the house reno work which is wearings me down.

Did you run the fuel pump for 10 seconds before cranking with the starter?

Paid the price of not posting the photos and video I have been hoarding of the work Cary did to get my blue car up and running reliably. And all the interesting places we've gone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Pushing the car back into the garage after work and got too close to all the crap hanging off the handle of my bench vise sitting on the shelf. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

That's the culprit, it had that electrical stuff and my big jumper cables hanging on it from starting my girls sportster this weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

That IS organized. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) It was messy before the shelving showed up.
Now it's just crowded. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I like that. Just "crowded".

I'll use that from now on - giving proper acknowledgement to the source, of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
