Full fresh oil. And I can drive it. Once she hits about 2500 rpm to 3000 there isnt much of a problem. She wants to go. Drove it to work last week. And no. I forgot to get a pressure gauge today when I picked up the new carb. She sounds like panther at higher rpm with intermittent backfires here and there. I just cant get her to time consistently at idle. No matter where I set it.no top or bottom noises either
