    Seized my engine!

    I sympathize with your predicament. Yes, "getdoneitis" got me one time too. I started my new engine without the carb spring so it was wide open. Good that the ignition switch was able to shut it down. That was in 1967. I still always try to understand stuff. I am still interested in not so...
