I won't be able to get to it this weekend as I will be off at a BMX race all weekend.

Well, I lied. I was in Augusta, GA until 1 pm or so on Sunday. I enjoyed a nice drive home. About 3/4th of the way to Atlanta from Augusta on I-20, I cut off and drove down through the country, to McDonough. It was nice to put the windows down and listen to the mighty Cummins rumble through small towns and the country. It has a 5" straight pipe (no muffler, no cat, no resonator). It was such a pleasant ride. My son and I went to Summit Racing. $21.XX and in 10 minutes later we were back in the truck. Very efficient at that place.
We went home, I took a short break. After that I was in the mood to mess with the Scamp. Only thing on my mind was to make forward progress and I would finish it on Monday. But it all went back together real slick. I got it all put back together and ready to fire.
But I didn't fire it up because it was dark out, my garage is not all that well lit so it would not be easy to spot fuel leaks. And my wife is not a big fan of untreated exhaust fumes … while I love 'em. And, even though the Scamp is not nearly as loud as some of your cars, it does send vibrations throughout the house (some pictures rattle on the walls and some window panes rattle). I love that … the wife meh, not so much.
So, I'll fire it up tonight and check for leaks. I drove it home last time on fumes so it wouldn't leak so much gas when I went to work on it. So, I will head to the gas station first thing if there are no leaks. After fueling, I'm going to do some 10 second pulls and see what happens.
