Today was the first shot at starting up this H. I filled the radiator, and found out it has a pretty big leak. Put fuel in the tank, found out that my carb leaks at a couple places, and the sediment bowl valve leaks. But regardless, we pushed on to give it a shot. We hooked a 6v battery up and gave it a try... nuthin. Not even a burp.
The wiring is sort of odd. There is a VR hooked up to a weird spot, and a solenoid in the loop. It used some aftermarker push button, and also an up/down flip switch.
So, what I think I'm going to do is just rerun the wiring correctly. Fuix the fuel line, fix the sediment bowl, and fix the radiator.
I'm just bummed. I wanted to hear it fire up today. I really thought it would.
