The engine is from a car so the carby needed replaceing with a govened one.
The clean up and priming began.

This post catches up to the present.
The engine is finally back from the machiene shop.
They told Kevin the crank would have to be ground at least .040" and more likely .050" so he bought bearings to suit both posibalities, it came back ground to .030" so he is ordering more bearings now.
