    Waking up a Mamoth from her sleep.

    She won't wake up from hibernation and run fast until she gets her feet going. I need to help.

    Once the jets/metering rods are upgraded and the cam hot lash set; I bet she's going to be running alot better.

    1st attempt.

    Finding what does she want?

    Getting better

    This is the break in,
    She was running lean as we learned. Later on it was discovered that one of the mechanical advance springs were disco'd. No wonder getting it timed was impossible.

    Looking good :2thumbs:  Sounds like a few loose valves maybe. It will hold better idle and vacuum once you reset them.  If that was your first run, congrats to you.  Hard to adjust it all during intial break in.   love it
