Rusty garbage hoarder.
Picked up this ‘51 3A and 50ish M38 that a buddy had for a very reasonable price. (800 beans for boffum)
The M38 is well molested and is really only good for parts in my opinion. But some purist will get in their jimmys over it.
Another buddy’s dad wants a flattie, and we’re trying to convince him it’s a terrible idea that leads you down to dark places. But, he wants it.
I commenced to fiddling and cleaned the gas tank out that someone installed at some point in time, cleaned the plugs, installed and adjusted new points, and made sense of the cobbled wiring to make the starter work.
Fiddled with the carb. The WO Carter was gone, but had a solex in place that seemed to be missing some parts, so I got a new solex, and made it run more güüder. It hazes a bit, but runs fairly decent for old crap.
Currently ordering brake hydraulic parts so it will stop on its own, along with its first test drive in the yard.
Rooney77 dont get in your jimmies because it has a key now.
