I'm getting somewhere finally.  I think I have most of the bugs worked out
of my redrive now, and my engine seemed to run well today.  I had air in
the water system that caused it to burp and blow water every where.  The
lines to the radiator were cold so I guess there was no water flowing.
After refilling the system I was able to maintain a water temp around 160
and an  oil temp about the same.  This was at idle.  Then I started having
all sorts of issues with idle and mixture and just getting it to stay
running.  Finally gave up and put it away for the day.  I found the fuel
feed tube in my Ellison TBI had sheared right at the base.  Luckily I have
a backup, so I swapped TBI's and will give it another try tomorrow if it's
not raining.  When it ran it was nice and smooth.  It would only rev to
about 3500 rpm.  I don't know if that was prop limited or carb limited.
Guess I'll figure that out tomorrow.

Assuming it is not pouring gown rain can I come over and take some
pictures this afternoon around 3 or 4?
