Well after the fire dept. left .........

I had run the carb (ran the engine til it stopped) out of gas when I pulled the engine, but I'm sure there had to be some gas left. The carb had just been rebuild at the beginning of this build but it's been 1.5 years. Every time I ran the engine I always ran it dry. I'm putting it back in the truck for good now that I've completed the suspension. I'll see what happens when I add gas . THANKS for ALL the inputs !
