Several days into brazing all the holes that showed up after the acid bath, and I think I am ready to seal the tank. Gonna let it dry until tomorrow....then in it goes!
Aahhhh ...such a cute little engine and tranny. Anyone ever built a go-cart around one?
There was a very successful open wheeler class in Europe that used this combination.
Warmer climate for the win. We are just about into spring here in Texas, so I should be all set. It is already starting to green up! You can always visit Michigan in the summer.I need one of the following things:
- To move to a warmer climate where I can work outside more.
- Build a good workshop where I can have heat and work out of the weather.
At the moment the latter versus the former looks to be the more likely approach.
Looking forward to the next steps along your path.
No new pics (like there is anything you haven’t seen yet), but a quick update. Gas is pumping cleanly, and the car is running. It will not idle, so adjustment time is here. Oh, and the water pump was leaking where it bolts to the block. I think tightening up the bolts cured that. Progress!
The last can of this I had ate it's way out the bottom of the can!A gallon can of carb dip with the parts basket
Is it my imagination or do I see gases being blown up out of the right hand barrel. If yes, could be a cam or ignition timing issue or a bad valve.Ok experts...what is causing my carb to sputter like this? The car is idling ok, and I have opened up the carb again and made sure everything is clean and blown out with high pressure air. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
It is not your imagination. Raw gas is sputtering up as well. I get the feeling the carb is running super rich, but I am at a loss as to why. Anyone know of a good rebuilder for these carbs?Is it my imagination or do I see gases being blown up out of the right hand barrel. If yes, could be a cam or ignition timing issue or a bad valve.
