Just finished getting the new guy registered, title transferred, taxes paid, and put on the insurance. After getting back, I took it out for a drive around the neighborhood. I tested the low gears and 4-wheel drive and it all works beautifully.<\/p>\n
After stopping by the house to grab the registration and insurance info (that’s all I need is to be pulled over on my first drive), I took it out to a gas station sufficiently far to get a good drive. After putting in 8 gallons of gas, I drove it over to the parent’s house.<\/p>\n
We found that there is a small, but persistent, oil leak somewhere. Not quite sure where it’s coming from, but it certainly is there. Also filled the tires up with air. They were down to 8 PSI instead of the recommended 20-21 PSI. We also adjusted the carburetor to idle a little lower and run a little leaner. It runs much better now, in spite of leak.<\/p>\n
I’ve got to say though, it was a whole lot of fun to drive around in the old guy. The looks were great, and everywhere I went people wanted to see it and know more about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
