This carb layout would need to fill the carb and intake mani.

It’s not leaking, but I can’t find the top for this funnel so slosh is a big issue.

throw a paper rag or paper towel on it before your zip tie.  pre filter and slosh control 


or rip a cooland or wiper tank off of one of your piles

It’ll get a coolant something once I find a clean one.

There’s a screen in the bottom of the funnel so that’s good for crap. I’m almost out of gasoline and I’ve got to drive real gently.

Steering better with the vastly reduced slop.

I’d have to do a bit of fab work to put a different steering box in it l, but it will probably eventually get an Astro box. I think swing is right.

First pallet load stored upstairs.

Gonna cut a door pass through before I do the second. Eventually move that vent stack. Bathroom roof feels as solid as office ceiling where the storage is.

On the gravel It spills a lot of fuel from the open bowl.

Rear tires have probably 2” travel, center pivot. It’s good to go!

Front tires are foamed. Tears are tubed and I put them to 50psi. Had been 30/36. Steering tolerable.

Couple more pallets, then the mill.

This is a whole lot different than the forktruck work I’ve done before! Never overhead, or at least not often.

Couldn’t get the bench through the lift by a good foot. But did get the trailer empty.

More shuffling to do and needs of racking but this is noice.

Funnel slosh is really slowing me down

Helps to build skill driving smooth though.

Went across the front yard without issue.
Making good progress on all things in general.

Impressed at stupidity or capability? I’d go with both.

Back and forth. Gus took compressor and fork took furniture.
