Drove it a little, haven't been able to pinned it and get it up over 4K yet. Supposedly the brakes were bled but they were like an old sponge, re-bled them yesterday and have pedal now so hopefully the weather will cooperate today. My initial impression with an unturned carb and 4 month old fuel is the compression is down a little so it's lost a little snap down low but that could also be a slightly lean transition off idle, 3-4K feels stronger but the 4-6K is an unknown. It definitely didn't go backwards and Sunday through Friday looks like good tuning weather.

I richened the corner bleeds and tightened the primary accel pump a little so we'll see what that did..........provided that starter cooperates.
