Tru-Craft is on a distinguished road
Yep, the early style! Good one to chop up and experiment with!
I put everything on tonight, manifold, rebuilt 38 carb.
Idle screws set at 1-1/2, cranked until fuel got to it and it fired right up
Adjusted the idle, a little tricky with two screws!
Took it out for a run to check the plugs, too lean!
Pulled the 142's and put in 150's, still looks a little lean but will drive it work and see how they look.
The 38 actually idles as good as the 32-36 did, kind of amazed.
It does feel quicker than the 32-36.
Will put the watch to it when I get the jets right!
By the way I removed the choke assembly. Shafts,butterfly's, everything! Don't need it here, and it should flow better!
