Title: More trials
Fuel gauge is DEFINITELY not working, which is a drag, since accessing the box means pulling the windscreen and the glare shield again. Templated the Subaru coil pack and drilled pilot holes to mount to the firewall. Ran some more, first start up engine quit after a few seconds. Long story short the 20 year old Curtis valve on the gascolater was leaking so badly it was starving the engine of fuel. Replaced temporarily with a pipe plug and carried on. EGT 1 and 4 are inoperative. Ran down to about 900 RPM, but idle is rather rough. Ran it up above the 2000 RPM of yesterday after leaning the needle some more, but it feels scary to run any faster with the cowling open. Took the hood off and removed the top magnetron. Bottom magnetron looks hard to remove, intake manifold in the way. Tightened some fittings weeping a little oil. Labeled valve covers, and numbered the cylinders in a more visible manner.
