Is that the thin ring or thick ring engine?
Ahh. Should be thick ring engine then. My understanding is the thick ring was the 3.7. Thin ring is a 3.8.Haven't really noticed. I did have the muffler cover off for the quicky gill flap mod.. The piston & cylinder looked like new. Bare aluminum cylinder and Crome plated piston.
You guys have a safe trip.There will be a rig headed north around 10 pm Friday night.
Just sayin...
Usually sandwich Baggie the carb and plug the muffler outlet. Two with rubber bands.
Run him as soon as possible after or continue disassembly.
Keeps a ton of crap off the workbench.
What do you plug the muffler with? Snap a pic next time if you think about it.
