Oil leak and lights.

Well, after only a few days of the new motor in, we decided to pull it back out. As you can see it had a pretty bad oil leak.


After throwing some JB Weld here and there on the back side of the flywheel area, we put it back in. Went to start it and if acted like the starter didn't want to turn it over. Long story short the cylinder filled up with gas do to a bad needle and seat or fuel pump. We changed both and it started right up. We took it for a drive and now it wouldn't idle. After messing with it for a bit we gave up for the night. The next day a friend came over and discovered that the fuel cut off switch wire was just barely touching the coil connection. He hooked that up, adjusted the carb again and now it runs fine!!

I found a cool RAC badge on ebay and won it and put it on the bus. :D


We also put some lights under the bus.


Now I think it is pretty well ready for our trip in August. :D  Can't wait.
