Condensation was my first thought. If the last run before disassembly was a cold start and fairly short run time that would be an extra reason for it existing. Being only in #3 could be plain ole luck, or possibly assisted by a leaking FPR or vacuum leak.

What are you trying to say? Exactly what I did say. My long time friend Pat was here and we started talking about money, he's been broke his entire life. Mikesail said "a smart man would" and gave some thoughts/advice. Pat zeroed in on "a smart man would" and took it to mean that Mike was calling him dumb and got a bit shitty about it. My thought shifted to Mike at that moment "a smart man would notice that Pat's really mad and angling to fight about it". I've known Pat to be a fighter, not a thinker. I assume Mike's brain said something to the effect of "there's no reason for this guy to be mad so he's clearly not looking to have a fist fight". I stayed seated, but prepared to jump in and stop Pat if he crossed the line. Pat later realized that it was dumb to react the way he did.

Damn. Apparently your president loves the Chinese mosquitoes.

I think I've figured the perfect thing to use, napalm!

I'd never thunk of it, but I don't recall being annoyed by flying things at your house or at Marty's.

And that is fuckin awesome.

I've seen "skin color" filament, let me know if you need me to go to the 3D print supply store in Compton.

"Should" according to you, and they're often not. I use them almost exclusively. File that "knowledge" away with all your other nutty knowledge because this is part of the reason I use rebuilt almost exclusively; lifetime warranty on rebuilt vs. 1 year on a new OEM. And to get warrantee on the OEM you'll probably have to supply proof that the system was cleaned and that the orifice and filter/drier were replaced, probably with OEM only. Rebuilt always come with the clutch and necessary seals, unlike OEM.

Wow, I didn't know any of that. Maybe if I worked on cars I'd have a clue. I've replaced many compressors and clutches, never with OEM, and none have been an issue. Also, many "OEM" parts for old cars are rebuilt, not new, and could be coming from the same guy who does them for the parts stores. For the extra money spent you get a Ford box and shorter warrantee. And you're wrong about the "big cost" of replacing a compressor, assuming yours needs to be replaced. If yours "tore up" the bulk of the cost will be cleaning and replacing the parts that became contaminated with compressor shrapnel. Most "failed" Ford compressors I've deal with just needed the clutch adjusted or replaced.

You'd put that on my battery brick, I assume it was you, and I hope that was a sign to take it home because I did.

I hope it'll be OEM like you demand for the AC parts.

Officer, I'm not a squatter and I can prove it. Look right here in this for sale/wanted forum where he invited me.

Needles are one of the 'voodoo' parts of carbs. My gut says that the originals would have a smoother/better transition and that you should stick with them unless there's evidence that the new ones are an improvement or that they're needed to work with the new jets.

95% it's the motor. To confirm, next time it doesn't fire up give the motor a whack while it's powered up. If it starts then you'll know for sure.

My guess is that Scott overstated the shittiness of the bike's condition, and I've piloted some very questionable vehicles of all types, but not without an assessment. I might do a fly and ride for this, but with the expectation that there will possibly be a U-haul involved.
