Art & Inspiration getting a model A motor running

the last time I got my old doodle bug running I posted a thread showing pictures to document it. well....it had sat again...but for longer. my buddy Larry and I decided to do a video digging it out and getting it running.
Enjoy.

 

Ted, nice to see this. Quick question: do you get bump steer with the front end raised like that?

 

Pretty cool. I’ve an old Clark fork lift with a Continental engine, every 5 or 6 years i with need to moved it or use it for something, I get the same joy getting it going.
One difference is my choke is “hand made” I lift the oil bath air cleaner off, and choke it with my hand.

 

Very cool vid! Thanks

 

That was cool. Nice place you got there Ted, very nice!

 

Awesome!

 

I surprised the clutch wasn't stuck...Used to be hundreds of those around when I was a kid..

 

haha

it really is fun for a gear head.

thanks

thank you, we love living here

I remember them too, I wonder where they all went.

 

You're a brave man wearin' shorts in all that un-identified brush and weeds! No poison ivy in Connecticut!?!

Very cool video. Just so you know, I'm available for adoption. I could live in the shop, I don't eat much, and promise not to scare the womenfolk & horses.

 

hahaha

 

That is so cool Ted, good to see the neglected old doodlebug get some love!

Good for many more years. HRP
