No i'm not driving it. Which is sad because I just bought it and haven't driven it much. Been trying to sort out the little niggles, which seem to be compounding. As soon as one is sorted you find another. PO was using the wrong fuses, had a positive earth voltage reg. that wasn't grounded so the temp and fuel read high, and the belt was only at 70lbs tension. That stuff is all fixed. I was hoping to take the wife to a winery this weekend to show her what a great purchase I had made....sigh

I'm surprised it didn't catch fire when I tried to start it before noticing the fuel leaking. One of the first things I did was purchase an auto fire extinguisher after reading all the stories about the car catching fire.

Going to go through the carb today and see if I can figure this out.
