Well there's more than one way to get it done, you could have Squatch253'd it and done a complete job- In the end they had over eight grand in a Super M and that was with what they called a "working tractor" paint job. Doing all the labor themselves. In your case, you made one out of two and have a really good working rig that will be around another 65 years. Yes condensation in those rear ends I think kills a lot of bearings and gears.
Hey man, I’ve got a 73 Elan 250T. Runs great once you get going but whenever you stop it will usually lose prime. Fuel line is as follows in tank filter>screw in 90 degree elbow>in line filter by the rear engine mount>red high flo fuel strainer on carb>carb>return. Im wondering if you got anything I could try to cure this. I may swap on a vm34 of a citation but I would like to save that for a Chaparral one lunger racer I’m building.
Sounds like you may have a possible air leak. The biggest thing is to make sure that when you're running that your primary fuel line is bubble free while you ride! If you got a steady stream of bubbles, you have a definite airleak somewhere that needs to be fixed asap!!!! If the fuel line is bubble free, you can try putting a filter with a check valve on your pickup to keep it from siphoning out of the carb. Or put a primar bulb on your main line so you can easily prime on the go. That's just my two cents, Good luck and keep tinkering!
