Since yesterday was a day off I replaced headlight and illumination bulbs in headlight bucket, they all work now. Later I checked and ran the engine, ran fine and no immediate leakage from petcock valve or carburetor, almost two hours later the carburetor seals had gas leaking through them, so I guess it's time to rebuild the carburetor. To be fair it was last licensed in 1985 until I got it last year.
I happen to love FORD vehicles (Mustangs, truck, etc) however if it's man-made even a HONDA is a "fix or repair daily".
Time to do my research and order from DrATV.
