Although I've worked on many Mini's I've never developed a "fever " for them .
You're doing great! I caught the Mini Mac fever in the 2000's and at one point had like 5 of them running/semi-running. Glad I recovered!
I can't say I have the fever.
Just seemed like the right thing to do by rescuing this thing from the scrap heap.
My wife thinks I only want it running in case of the zombie apocalypse so that I can attach it to my hand.
The real reason is alien invasion.
Aliens would be prepared for firearms, explosives, etc.
They wont be ready for some crazy mutha charging them with a chainsaw.

I took the spiteful little abomination back apart.
The forked starter cup that is very poorly bonded to the recoil decided to unbond itself.

I mixed up a liberal batch of JB weld and put it back where it belongs.
If it holds, great.
If not, guess I will try to locate a recoil.
I tossed the carb into my usc.
Until now, I have only used it for brass when reloading. Will see what it does.
Are they different between the newer version and this one with it built in?
Hold off for now. I will see if the JB works.
I'm getting faster and getting it in and out of the housing..
Lol going to need a video either way.Going to grab a bite to eat.
Then see if I can get it squared away.
Or, toss it in the yard and see what a .44 mag does to it.
Lol going to need a video either way.
Lmao you can build 2 and still beat me. The engine is still at Terry Ives.For sure.
Funny thing, I thought about you as I was trying to get the little bastid to start.
The whole time I was thinking "I gotta get this pos running before @p61 western gets his Mac going just so I can give him chit!"

Lol yep probably. I have a Mini Mac I need to go through as well, but not in a big hurry lol.Yeah, and mine could fit inside the jug of yours. With the bar on it!
