another runner!

Post by baltobernie »

Hey Tripp, it must be the weather!

Sorry about the file size, 45 Mb, so wait until you get in the office to view - I'm no video expert. (Heck, I'm no mechanic, either).

No leaks, shifts great, good oil pressure and water temp. On to body work! It'll be nice to work upright for a while ...

That was really a treat Bernie. I'm not sure, but it looks like the wife is the more patient one in your family also!
Woohoo! Another Spider on the road.

Yehaaa! You got it running. Our old carbed models seem to need a lot of pumping to get them to fire. Thanks for sharing the video.

Thanks, guys. Impossible without FiatSpider.com In the cold, hard light of day, there are a few drips, but I think they're manageable.
