I have joined the Goat herd

I will have to look when I get home, however that clear tube coming down is different on mine, mine is a braided line that goes to the air pump. Where that allen plug is on mine it has a street T , the bottom of the T has a straight line going down for the air box drain, on the right of the T it has another steel line that turns 90 and goes down to connect to a rubber line going over to the air tank. I will post the picture from the manual and try and get a better picture of my actual engine.

Yeah, kinda got that figured out now, I got the motor cranking this evening, but I am not getting fuel up to the secondary filter, we rebuilt the fuel pump but something is amiss as she is not pumping, Ill pull it out tomorrow and see what I can learn.

It is pumping oil to the head=good thing, and I have a class 2 oil leak coming out of the dipstick tube where it screws into the block, some teflon tape should take care of that.

Where there's a will there's a way; that's the ticket!

I am beging to think I didn't get the fuel pump primed well enough, I will try again tomorrow and force feed it a little and see if it will pick up.

And my solenoid on the starter was sticking first few times, but then it quit, hopefully it will be good to go

I used a outboard motor fuel line with an inline priming bulb, she fired first crank. Good news on the oil pressure, I'd rather have oil than fuel first.

Good idea, I'll try that!

Picture from the manual, my T is different but same idea. The manual picture shows the air box heater line as the air brake tube which is not correct, they show the air line coming out the top of the T but it really goes no where in the picture when it should go down next to the drain line. The manual is not always correct, especially on these drawn pictures.

Look at post #72 it shows what the two tubes look like hanging below the starter. Post #87 shows my setup, a street T on the airbox, out of the bottom of the T a straight tube for the drain, on the front of the T a 90 to a tube bent over the air pump hose then 90+ down to same length as drain to attach to the rubber line going to the air can.

Yep, that's a way better pic, that splains it all!

Thanks again!

Got a early Christmas present from Maine, thanks Mark!

Nice, thought I would sneak that one in without warning you, also got word today that your other large parcel has been shipped today UPS, you will be sitting pretty soon. Finding all these NOS goat parts is exciting, I guess more are on the way.

well, some fire

It's so close! You know you'll get there.

Getting close, probably a fuel delivery issue, still exciting.

I think fuel pump is bad, puking fuel out the weep hole in the bottom of the pump, lots of leaks too

It's just a few bugs that need fixing; minor issues no doubt.
It'll all be good soon.

I had initial fuel leaks at first too, you will get them.

Gamma Goat fairy (some call it UPS) stopped by my house today and left these for me.

This fills a big hole in my needed parts list, big thanks to m38inmaine and poppacom!

Almost there, Good job

Thanks for the advice earlier today Mark, you were right on, it snapped right back in and holds fine in the cannon plug, I connected it twice and screwed it down tight to make sure.

Looks like you have the engine side squared away, I don't have any engine side harness parts, I do have a good vehicle side harness that has plenty of length and should work. If you want it I will send it out tomorrow.
