Re: This guy gets a ‘41 truck going w/hammer.
Actually a pretty nice truck and entertaining to watch. I love the '40-'41 truck nose assembly. Good cab corners too. I have fired up many flatheads in a similar manner, but two main things I woulda done different. 1) Put an outboard motor poly gas tank on the roof for gravity feed, with a squeeze ball to prime with. Good dose of mmo in the fuel and sump. 2) Hook up the starting circuit so he can start and stop it without that awful cable to the battery system. 3) Increase initial idle speed with a longer screw if necessary. That way he could spray his pb blaster down the carb at fast idle instead of the either washing away the oil. Ok, so that was 3. I hope I'm not being too critical, but the more years I spent doing this sort of thing, the less I wanted to. It's basic mechanics to get them to run in that fashion, but the initial thrill goes away once you try to actually use it like that.
