The Ford Barn

Steve Wastler · 09-26-2016, 04:01 PM

After years of health issues and two surgeries this summer, I am finally starting to feel good enough to walk to the shop. Started the roadster first time in at least 2 years. Removed the carb to spray it with cleaner as last time out didn't run the bowl dry, the float and needle & seat were stuck. Fired on 2nd revolution. Put a few miles on it, nice.

Good, glad to hear you are feeling too. Nice car.

I just started driving the A a month or so ago, haven't been on a motorbike yet. Health issues are a royal PITA aren't they.
