Its in Rancho Cucamonga at House Kyusha Taka. He discovered some issues including the accelerator pump circuit not working properly, along with a few other things. As much as I am confident of the rebuild that Will did, there are enough issues that the best course is to rebuild them again, so thats what he is doing now. Hopefully I will get it back before the end of the year, so I can say I went "almost a year" since I drove it rather than "over a year" ...

Well... its been about two weeks. Theres good news and bad news.
Good News
Their butts finally showed up to take the car *rim shot*
and the car succesfully made it to House Kyusha Taka
Mikuni's are being completely taken apart and cleaned up. He offered to zinc plate them. I declined.
Bad News
Looks like the rebuild kit that was sent to Will had the wrong diaphragms...
Some stripped holes that are going to get helicoiled, and rather than deal with the NLA French Metric hardware, they will get something readily available.
Heres some interesting stuff, a secondary hole drilled on the venturi. The extra hole will get plugged.
Meanwhile, he also posted this on Instagram. Im quite excited that he is taking this on... a few other issues to deal with before they get reassembled.
