The Last Carb has Been Repaired

Last evening, I disassembled Glinda’s driver’s side carburetor and found the accelerator pump cup needed replacing and the pump discharge needle was stuck closed. With a new cup in place, needle cleaned and moving freely, and all the passages blown out, I reassembled and reinstalled the carburetor. I also played musical chairs with batteries. Unfortunately for Ringo, he drew the short straw – so to speak – and ended up with the dead battery that was in Glinda. Lucy got the smaller one from Ringo, and Glinda got the LeMan’s larger one that’s been Lucy’s for that past few months. Once Victoria and I get the windshield channel sealed, the trim reinstalled, the antenna re-mounted, and the tags put on, Glinda will be hitting the road.
