Anyone want to buy a 20k 5th wheel manual slider?

You won't be needing that plow will you?

Mr. Plow song now stuck in my head!

Ha!
No.
Sumbish is heavy.

I hope this was the only time I put it on the truck until spring.

Just fired it up in the garage just to see if it would even run with what I did to the carb, but I still have work to do and parts to install. I had 2 sets of earplugs and it still startled me when it first fired with the snappiness and noise. Runs like crap with a super high idle, hopefully tuning will fix all that, but it didn't die. Hopefully the timing isn't too far advanced either, at least it didn't bite me when I pulled it.

Looks like its all shaft, no balls?

I think I'll go back to the stock carb for now, I just can't get the idle down, it will idle normally after slowly releasing the throttle from in the mid range but slowly surges back up. The midrange is dead lean, it won't stall, but it sounds like you have a super heavy flywheel on and turned off the ignition. The low speed will lean out to a fast smooth 2 stroking idle, so lean won't work, I don't know why the slow idle off mid range though. The idle stop is backed out all the way. Full throttle mixture sounds good too except it is very very slow to spool up, maybe too rich. I was trying to use a 355t carb. I retarded the timing to stock, but that didn't affect the slow acceleration issue.

EDIT:

Ok, now after analyzing the video, it's hard to make out the rpm using my sound method, but I think my slow acceleration problem is in part because it could be idling at around 11,000rpm and accelerating up to over 16,000!

In the garage and on video it sounds like a race car

Echo have a very aggressive timing advance. I would test it with and without it to see if there's any difference. Randy said you can go backwards on an echo messing with the timing. MWeba showed that Echo CDi ignitions advance the timing up to 36* depending on where it is. Echo do not use 'dumb' ignitions. They've had their CDi for a while now.

There's a lot of meat on the WT venturi VS the throttle and choke opening diameters. Maybe a tiny bit of massaging can get ya a bit more bore.

Blowed up Equinox transfer case.



All ready to defile @Stump Shot property with icky Stihl germs.



Grease zerks are for pussies..job security and stuffs..

 

[Moparmyway]

U joint let go and got to scrappin with the case ?

Nope. Thats the side of the case.
Transverse mounted engine/trans.
Case bolts to the right side of the transmission. 1 shaft goes all the way through to the right cv shaft.
Then there is a gear set that drives to the rear prop shaft.
I will get a couple more pics in the morning after I get it out of the vehicle.

Thats where the bearings/carrier for the gear set are supposed to hang out!

This is a huge Blacktail...

Buddy just shot a 220 6pt(little antlers) whitetail, big deer .
I may have some pictures from a farm up this way, they have some crazy nontypical whitetails.

Could have gotten it up to 75, then put it in neutral(and coasted to 70) and kicked the rpms up to 3k .
