My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world.
nice! I'll send a link to little Steven...
Great work Randal, and congrats.
Try smacking the prop valve with a hammer if you can get to it-sometimes the piston gets stuck in one end.
Excellent Randall,
Look forward to the rest of it. Good work!
Sweet!!!! good job Randall

Made it's first trip to the bar and backI'm sure the neighbors loved hearing it fire up around 8pm and me feathering the throttle due to no choke
Then me rolling home a little after 11pm
Fun Fun Fun.
Thanks, I took the prop valve apart and sprayed it down pretty good with brake cleaner, wasn't like new inside but it was definately better. I'll definately try tapping it a few times tomorrow. I think my first priority might be pulling the rear wheels off and pull the caliper and manually adjust them inwards, I'm sure I had loose clearances between the pad and rotor putting them on and I'm guessing the parking brake adjuster isn't working as well as I'd hopedOriginally Posted by Mr4Speed
From there I'll try another bleeding session (I had plenty of fluid coming out of the rear when I did the initial bleed) and see what the Service manual says about rear discs brakes and any procedures to follow. But I do need to get the prop valve centered and get the brake light off, damn I wish it just had a button.....

Im impressed ;).The first start up,AND YOU ARE FILMING IT.Im all over the car,the first time i start up a engine i have built.No time for vids then ;)
nicely done Randal!
the brake light, if disconnected, generally goes off.... otherwise, pull the bulb
I don't have a proportioning valve on my Buick (thus the wire is not connected), and the light stays off unless tripped by the parking brake.
