Hi Guys, It's been awhile since Ive gotten around to post anything. Let alone working on my F1. Today I got time to go try and start it up for the first time in about a year. I went out put fresh gas in it and. made sure everything looked ok. No bare wires,or broken anything. I pumped it atime and it turned over and started right up. Couldn't believe. I let it run a short awhile. Also made sure the breaks work. Which they did. So I then took it for a short drive. Felt pretty good to get back out driving it. Been along winter

Here is the short warm up video I shot.

Long live the flathead!
