Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Seal dangit! Not deal.

Check you fuel lines. Make sure where they attach from the tank to the carb are not loose or the line damaged. The line itself may be old and need to be replaced. I just went through the exact thing you did and ended up replacing all the lines. I also found a little chunk of bug in the fuel line at the same time as well as a the line rotting out. All fuel and air lines.

Just seeing if it loads any quicker….

Nope

Did some actual firewood splitting last week before the rain. This was mostly mulberry that I had gotten from my neighbor early Summer. It gets stacked behind the bushes in the picture once they are trimmed back.

That's what I do in on mine. I deleted this one for testing in purposes, but no change.

It sounds like you have a fuel shortage from either the tank or restrictions in the carb.

OK, I stand corrected. I saw samples of plain Por-15 coated and uncoated sheet steel dump[ed in the Mississippi River for a year. Por-15 was unscathed. Maybe it is the steel underneath.

I have a fender that was OE, factory, in 1975, and was painted like a 40s chevrolet, Many coats of lacquer. It has tiny bubbles in about a 1/2" grid. a tiny bubble every 1/2 inch, more or less. That has to be the underlying steel, perhaps coupled with not thoroughly degreased before priming. It was ok for the first 30-40 years. Weird.

Maybe it is the Mexican steel on my truck since it was made in Mexico. Like I mentioned. I have other items that I have used it on and it is fine. That frame was blasted clean. Prepped with the POR15 pre- paint crap and painted. I'll just keep spraying it with Fluid Film.
