It's not the way the post looks that matters, it's the content.

I cranked my truck up today, and it blew me away when it ran perfectly, and it didn't die when I put it in gear like 20 seconds after starting it for the first time (it wouldn't let me do that two years ago when it was running great). I think the plug wires had alot to do with the way it was running before. It was a little smokey, kinda whitish smoke, but I'm guessing it was probably just that the carb could be a bit off since it sat for three years before I put it on, moisture in the engine, or maybe just some oil could have gotten into the engine somehow and was getting burned off. All I have left to do with my rebuilt carb is put it back together then tune it...(how many times have I said this? lol)

Oh and greyghost:

YouTube - Kirby Reciprocating Compressor

(note: The "Kirby" company that made that is different from the Kirby company that makes vacuum cleaners...but lol anyway)
