New project

[1500ram12]

FINALLY it runs. Pulled the carb back out to give everything a once over. Pulled the pilot jet out and couldn't see through it. Cleaned it again put everything back together. First pull, no choke, fired right up. Idles pretty good, could be adjusted a little, doesn't bog at all. Drove it for about 5 minutes. No issues. Smokes a little. Might need new rings at some point. Just got to clean it up and possibly replace the brakes. Definitely need at least adjusting.

Good deal, glad to see a little hard work pay off for you.

If I weren't busy at work, I'd really take the time to read this, but definitely like the project so far!

Best of luck with it

Tuesday I put the original pilot jet back in. Pulled on it 2 or 3 times and the pull rope broke. Replaced it yesterday and it wouldn't start unless the choke was on. Even then would idle for a second or 2 and die. So the carb has the original jet, pilot jet and needle in it.

Had it out Sunday on and off for a couple of hours. Zero issues besides the brakes. Can't seem to adjust them enough. Cleaned everything up yesterday and still the same. Going to pull them out again and make sure everything is working a 100%.

Here's a few pics of it back together
