Hi
yesterday I started this 74 westy I just got. It hadn't been started in 22 years. After sanding the point and getting it some fuel it didn't turn 5 times and started. Acorns and mice was coming out of everwhere.

i ground down the stud bosses on my passenger side exhaust header (using my brand new ryobi angle grinder- yeehaw!), getting ready for when my time-sert kit shows up from scott, hopefully she'll be running again soon!

Sat in the chair at the computer and looked out the window at it setting in the yard covered in snow. Crying or Very sad

I put on doors pulls, no more opening the window to close the door!
And after 8 months of no tunes...a stereo!

Thought about how to get it running again so I can get it out of my parents' garage and into my own garage... Think

Saturday I took my kids to a cub scout hike in the Westy and had a picnic afterwards. We were loving it...

I fixed my sticking throttle. Accelerator pedal had so much dirt/rust stuck in it at the floor that it'd stick half way down to fully down. Lubed up the underside parts of the system and cable as well. I went ahead and attached a return spring too.

"What did you do for your Bay yesterday?"

nothing. i looked at it as i walked past it. i will start it this wednesday or thursday to move it out of the driveway (about 30' ).

i looked at it a few times and put off fixing it again.

but that was mostly due to working on locating the leak in the fish pond out back, prepping a section of the garden, and planting a bunch of stuff in the greenhouse.
