Okay, so buy a kerosene heater and a window fan.

Didn't get too much done this weekend. Been getting myself worked up over this so I just sat on my butt to calm myself.

Made sure the cam and cam gear was aligned properly. Adjusted the valves and set the timing. Installed a new kicker starter and a new condenser.

All the connectors on the wire harness are oxidized or whatever. Some connectors are single round male to single female round and there are also double round females and two male rounds connect to them. I am going to cut all of those connectors off and solder on some new flat male/female connectors. Where there are the double round females I'm going to cut the wire, then solder two wires on to the one to make a "Y" with a female connector on each to simulate the one piece double round female connector.

I let two carbs sit in PineSol for a couple days. Seemed to clean them well. I found that this tube was clogged. Not sure if it'll help since even the new carb would do the leaking fuel trick.

The bad news is it's shit balls cold outside right now. Suppose to be in the 20's till Friday. BOOOO! I just got came inside from freezing in the geerodge.

The good news is the garage doesnt smell like pinesol and I've been saving on my insurance.

Instead of cleaning up all the old connections, I just got to hacking and slashing. Got some connectors and a soldering iron. I have about 10 minutes of soldering experience so it's always an adventure with me.

The bad is the rubber around the wire melts/goos when I'm done. Guess I'll pull the rubber away as far as possible, then push it back when done soldering.

Got most of the main lines done expect for a couple. I'm not worried about getting the lights done yet.

Still have to solder these connectors.

One of the very few that came out nice.

I'm a Mothauckin Genius!

Leaving it ghetto so if something is wrong I can just snip again without wasting heatshrink.

I only have one outlet in the garage and its in the fucking ceiling. Doesnt take much to blow the fuse since its also inline with some outlets in the kitchen.

Okay, buy some windows, a kerosene heater, a window fan and turn your garage 90 degs !

Or run a new line from the main box to the garage...In fact, if that line terminates at the box, just break it off to it's own breaker.

That makes sense.

That does not.

The line terminates in the garage, via the kitchen.

Please step away from the wires.
