[QUOTE="Tom_Charlton, post: 164191, member: 2210"] A good days work, topped off by a good Mexican supper @ Tequila's, and success in the garage. Looks like the engine just needed to be ran. The carbs aren't dripping and it will idle and accelerate once it warms up. I had to clean # 1 & 3 spark plugs (gas fouled) and then it started running normal. I'm using non alcoholic gas which may be helping also. Ah, the list of what went into the engine stand. 20' 1.5" square steel tubing (base & uprights) 4.5' of 2" steel angle (cross bar and feet). 5' of 1" square steel tubing for mount uprights 2' of 2"X3" steel rectangular tubing. 4 6" hard rubber casters (from Harbor Freight). 20 3/8"X2.5" bolts, nuts, flat, & lock washers. electric fuel pump (from somewhere) Lawnmower solenoid. Lawnmower Key switch (Ace Hardware), ignition kill switch (from somewhere). 4-6-8 cyl tachometer, ammeter, voltmeter, vacuum gauge, oil pressure gauge, temp gauge. About 50' of automotive wiring, scavenged from somewhere. It also holds V-6/8 Chevy engines, up to 400ci. Different mounts required for automotive engines, of course. The basic frame is welded together, with everything else bolted to the frame. What, you want pictures? OK [/QUOTE]
