Hi folks, I just built this rustic rat rod utility out of spare bits and it runs fine after I cleaned the points and gapped them. Wouldn't make a peep before that after sitting many months.
Only thing is it keeps leaving this oil stain just under the engine barrel near the head after washing it off and using it. Upon close examination, the oily film is coming from the base of the barrel and flowing down to collect near the head. Hopefully with more use it will stop.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
