This is as far as I got this weekend, was going for 100% complete but there's always one or more things you clean or modify or replace along the way. Got pretty far anyway, probably generate some smoke the next day or two.

Only had to call John twice all weekend! - Thanks Moo - you're a good friend.

Spent the morning and early afternoon working on the F100, new carb, no leaks but little rough - been forever since plugs and wires. I don't get it - I hard to ORDER spark plugs they had nothing for an old 302??? and this was pepboys - one of the better stores around here - they had wires though. Man this is getting ridiculous.

Spent a couple hours doing final install on the H2, chasing stupid things to fix like missing seat hinge pin - glad for spares! Chased no spark on LEFT cyl, took everything apart, pickups, connections yada yada, all looked good. Put it all back and of course it fired. Now I need to clean the garage but H2 ran good out of the box, final tuning tomorrow - weather looks to be 60s in Colorado Springs!

Did a short check ride today - couple easy miles around the neighborhood. Everything worked PERFECTLY (stopped a few times to check things) but all is great :clap:

No leaks, no noise and whatever was causing the "binding" feeling before I tore the engine down is gone now - chalk it up to another I Dunno. Take it apart, put it back together and works fine now kinda thing. Glad Charlie did my crank though, one less thing to worry about.

Racked it up when I got home, double checked ALL nuts, bolts and hoses - all is as it should be. I'm pretty good about using clean hardware, nylon nuts, safety wire and blue loctite almost everything.

Need to order my new Pods and get into some serious tuning though.
