Video of my F100

Made a short video of my F100 today. Thought I would be breaking in the motor but have a fuel leak at the carb to fix.

yep Tim get the gas leak fixed it wouldn't be good to burn it up on braking it in
next time move the vid cam to the side so we don't get shined so much

x2 what Jim said

Tim you will get it.
The last time I freshened up my bbf we had a fuel leak on the first startup. There was a pinhole in the ss braided line spraying gas on the headers.
It took me a couple extra days to get it fixed and fired up but it was worth the wait.

Lol yea, I didn't think about that till after the fact. Too worried about fixing the fuel line at the carb. Now its not a nice kink in it. (Over tightened trying to get it to stop leaking) I think I can reuse it tho. Threads are still good all the way around.

Tim you get if fixed yet

post moved elsewhere

Tim let me look in the barn this afternoon I may have 2 if I do I will let you now tonight.You should not have to build it you should be ok takeing the bowl off if it hasn't been very long rebuilt and if it has the blue gaskits you should be fine if the metering block comes off.

I tried to not fill the camera with my back side. But now you end up with my dad walking into view with no shirt on. I cant win.
When I shut the motor down about three minutes into the video it is because I saw something leaking a bit under the truck. I freaked thinking it was oil. It was not, it was transmission fluid. I tried to tighten up a clamp a bit, grabbed a drip pan and continued on. I will just buy new lines from NPD and be done with it before I put it on the road.
