The brakes are very bad, at the least they need to be bled. I think I should go 
ahead and replace the hoses while I’m at it.

With the vacuum sorted and the warm up regulator correctly connected to vacuum, 
I started it up this afternoon after it sat since yesterday afternoon. It fired 
right up with half a crank it seemed. Cold idle went up to about 1500 which I 
believe is too high. After a few minutes it was down to around 1100 or so warm 
idle. Spec is 750 I believe. I adjusted the air valve a little and dialed in 
the idle mixture screw and it seems to be pretty darn close. According to the 
dash tach it looks like it’s around 750. When you put it into gear idle seemed 
to drop too low to like below 500. I fiddled with the idle air valve some more 
as well as the mixture screw bumping the idle up just a hair. It now seems to 
drop to acceptable levels when in gear. Idle seems fairly smooth, takes the 
throttle just fine with no bogging down. Seems to be running really well.

I believe I am now ready to move to phase 2 which will be fluid and filter 
change. The tires on it have good tread, but are cracked and need to be 
replaced. I am not sure if I will replace them or let the next buyer do it. I 
think I will probably just do it so I can drive it to town a few times. I do 
not think I’m going to do the windshield rubbers. Then I just need to figure 
out a price to throw it up on Fakebook for. Or perhaps will list it on eBay but 
not sure I want to mess with that. Maybe BAT will take it.
