progress??

so, put the tank back in and filled it with the gas stuff...  disconnected the fuel line from the "new" fuel pump the the carb and turned the engine over by hand...  this produced a strange noise, that i figured out was the fuel pump pushing air...

once the gas got there, it squirted out a goodly stream of fuel!!!  the old pump never did that, so that's a step forward...

couldn't try to start it since astarko was sleeping...

today i tried to fire it up, and bang, it turned over once and fired right up....  it still doesn't idle quite right, but it runs MUCH smoother than before, no loping up and down...

i still can't get it to idle the way all the book say, and the mixture screw doesn't seem to effect engine speed the way it should...  but at least it's running...
