Not on the bench, but in the drive way.

International harvester cub cadet 128. Just going through it good. Will be a play toy around the property.

I just picked up a 2 stroke motorcycle engine book from 1972 at a used bookstore, they talk about cutting the squish band in it.

Champion 10000 watt dual fuel generator. Fuel system cleanup. Had water in the tank and carburetor.

Quick and dirty fuel pump build at work. I was able to find pretty much everything in the shop!

Working on a Makita ground tamper, ground pounder.
It has a Honda GX 160 motor with a bad carb, Ethanol ate it up.
Went to HL Supply, they had the carb in question.

Imagine that, i went to one of our sponsors they had what i wanted and are sending it with no hassle and a fair price.
What is this world coming to?

I have a friend who collects Cub's. I would imagine he would be discussing this one heavily. He sold over a dozen at a summer event. Hope you get it all up and going strong.

Thank you. Not looking to do a full restore, even though I would love the look of it! Gonna keep her in working clothes and 100% dependable underneath.

I think I’ve seen that picture on this forum before. It was a few years ago though. Can’t remember the name of the thread

Champion dual fuel generator, reassembled and reinstalled carb. New Champion RC12YC plug as the NHSP/Torch plugs are junk. Test ran nicely on both gas and propane. Ran the shop with it for a little bit as well. Sounded like it was running a little fast so I checked the rpm and it was running at 3800, dropped to 3600. Under load I adjusted the rpm to make the output 60hz. Just need to charge battery and deliver next weekend.

After replacing all the necessary parts this $40 hedge trimmer turned into a $100 pole saw. It now runs great. The chain runs backwards from a normal chainsaw, is that normal?

I know the builders name, DNT know him personally, I got 4 saws in that need reported or rebuilt with new cylinders, 2 others from another ported I know of by name only as well and a 460 Stihl that the owner knew was ported but not sure buy who, oddly the 460 needs a new bottom end but the top end held together well, the 460 work is very clean and I have a feeling I know who ported it by work. I was curious if anyone knew why someone would grind the uppers that way, figured maybe learn something new.

Look at the direction of engine rotation. Some weedeaters turn opposite from others.
If you want a challenge move the coil to the other side of TDC and reverse the pull starter rotation then the motor should rotate in the desired direction.
It may be easier to re key the flywheel VS relocating the coil.

I think they’re trying to get the charge started in the right direction. But with the exhaust pressure still higher than the case pressure you can see them back feeding
