Today was a nice day, low humidity and in the 80's. I moved the camper and charged up the battery and fired up the 50 F-1. She cranked a few times and started up. Always nice to hear a flathead crank over. I try to get out there and start it once a month, but lately I have not had time. It's been 3 months since it ran. Shame on me!! I moved it up and down the driveway a few times and on the street to turn it around. I let it warm up and used one of those thermal lazer thermometers to set what it was running at. All 8 cyls were fairly similar. 183 to 191 for all 8. Radiator ran at 112 at top and 91 near the bottom. I still have to mess with the throttle return spring to get the idle down.
All in all, a good day!
