only had a tiny bit of time today. i got my timing light ready and tried to start it. seems like it likes to pushes of the pedal to enrich the carb like you said. once it started i ran to the front of the car to get the timing set. it was at 20 degrees ,now it is at 10. then shut it off because there still isnt any coolant in it.
reason for the no coolant is i tried to fill it back up and it started leaking between the plate and pump again. the plate and pump surfaces are clean but still are old and dont seem very even. i am going to get a new pump and put some coolant in before i do anymore starting of the car.
the choke isnt hooked up yet. it is on my long list of things to do.
do you guys know if there is a certain temp where it is to cold to use black rtv? it is getting cold out and the package is all mangled so i cant read all of the details. i am talking about setting it up. i know once it is on it will work in any temp.
