Well, thanks to all again on this board so far. Wow, last sunday I thought I had the little girl running well. Last night wohoo!!! I knew the front carb damper was not rising in time with the rear, turns out when we re tightened the linkage nut the throttle cam slide away from the butterfly cam and was not lifting the butterfly. Fixed that and had to reset the carbs and timing. She starts in about 1/2 second from turning the key, and there is no run on when shutting her off. NO OIL or COOLANT LEAKS. The best part is we also finished all the sanding, she will be in primer by friday. Saturday will be blocking. Just gotta buy the snaps for the roof now....
 
Congrats!
 
weee, progress. Good stuff.
 
Great!!!! My old bugeye usually starts the same way, and it is a nice feeling each time it does.
