Well, been busy with work. And when I haven't been busy with work I"ve been sick. But anyways, made just a little progress.

Carbs are 100% done, and back on the linkage/manifold. However I need new o-rings/insulator boots so those are on the way.

I took the valve cover off today to inspect everything. and it looks like it was ran a bit low on oil...

Valve cover itself was also broken in a spot, so need to replace that as well. The costs just keep building! haha
