rustbucket 4 #11 Posted June 8, 2008 well i found out what the "fule system issues" where. the carb that was on it had a blown float and was filled with rust almost mud looking to be honest. the carb is shot for now but thankfully i have a jacobsen 1200 super cheif with a seized engine but a dang fine carb with nuthing wrong to it. so a simple carb swap and boom up and trucking. now to fix those holy front tires. hmmmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
