I procrastinated on this long enough that it is now running great. Maybe a piece of dirt in the fuel cleared, but have not had the surging issues lately.
Starts when below 10F, with ease. Remarkable.
Picked up decals from Maple. Tins are painted (see pics), doesnt suck too bad.
I gotta prep and spray yeller.
The 45 degree flare on the hydraulics are leaking going into the hydro. More work on those. For now I put a piece of cardboard under it to catch the drips but when the fenders come off will re-eval those flared fittings. May make an adapter for my flaring tool, or borrow one, or buy a cheapie. Cant live with drippy leaks, always annoying.
In the meantime a foot of snow due today so it is going to get another workout.
