Default First Start - C59A

After a disastrous day yesterday where all the fuel from my fuel tank (1 gal lawnmower tank) drained through my carb, into the intake, and eventually into the oil pan, I resolved all that today, and fired her up for the first time. Had to shut her down after only 5 mins due to high coolant temp likely due to air in the coolant piping going to my rear mounted rad. Not a “traditional” build per se, but I just wanted to say thanks to all the folks who helped me with all the questions I had during the last 7 yrs. Without your help, there is no way I could have accomplished all this. I will try to get some vids loaded onto YT, and once done, I’ll share the link. Some screenshots for now.
