The shaft has a good bit of rust on the rear end, so I am just going to scrap it anyway.

 

Everything is running good at this point. I get a bit of a hard start when hot, but I am sure it will get better as in breaks in. It is running pretty rich and gas mileage is a bit low, but That is to be expected until it breaks in more. I am at about 200 miles so far. I am hoping it is better by 1k. Still haven't found a vise to get the other core apart, but I have not had much time to work on it either. Hopefully soon!

 

Glad to hear it is running better. Good luck with the core dismantling .
