I got the wiring routed and the rest of the little stuff hooked up. Swapped the very worn out Carter carb (which I'll rebuild) for a known good Chinesium , hooked up the linkages for choke and throttle and all the little stuff. I filled up the Ketchup squeezer fuel tank (with the tapered nozzle that fits every kind of random fuel line) with a little bit of fresh gas, and....



Cranked it up and it ran like a champ.... well... too much of a champ. The hydro linkage is not adjusted so it climbed over the wheel chocks and was heading southward towards the woods when I turned the key off.



I'll jack up the rear end and do the hydro adjust as per the manual before I try this again, but it sounds good and not a bit of smoke.
