What's on your bench?

[redlight066]

Install crankshaft without flywheel key. It will “dent” the seal.

 

[redlight066]

Always check your work.....

 

[redlight066]

Sneaky. Very slow leak. Manifold looked fine. Just won’t seal well after all those years of sitting. Welp that’ll do it for now. At $50 apiece I do not keep those on hand..... criminal

Good find there...
Probably what did it in originally.

 

[redlight066]

Pays to be thorough. I do this every day and you can get complacent/cocky when you’re putting things back together. Always check your work, weather is your first or hundredth

My 1964 beetle motor. Doing a Holley 2 barrel conversion.View attachment 269381

I dont know how attached u r to the Bug Mike, but all im seeing is one hell of a backpack leaf blower in the making

What cc is that? I remember they made a few different sizes. Like 1400-1600 cc? We have a JC Whitney within a few hrs from here and i remember as a youngin getting the VW edition catalog. Seemed like u could build one from scratch from that magazine. Me and a buddy road tripped it there hoping to find the North pole and all the elves making VW parts. In reality it was an 8x12 room with a counter wer u ordered parts. Still traumatized

660 or 460?

Another one bites the dust .Echo GT 1100 weed wacker .Damned thing acts like it leans out after being under load a while ,might be a seal .Back in the shed until next spring .
Next up Poulan 2 cuber model 2075 ,freebie .Probably a carb rebuild, fuel lines , filter .Another dinky little Walbro carb and I think I'm out of kits .Actually it's a pretty clean little saw might make somebody a nice little fire wooder .
It's good thing I have 10 primer bulbs in transit because every one of those little dinky carbs I have has a bad bulb including a couple of spare Stihl blower carbs .

OK.... What is it? For us who aren't mechanically inclined?

 

[huskihl]

088. Or maybe 880. Can’t remember which

 

[RI Chevy]

With poly flywheel?

 

[huskihl]

With poly flywheel?

88 is the only one with a clamp on muffler

 

[RI Chevy]

I don't know the history on the motor, but if it's still stock bore it's a 1967 1500.

Guys at work whisper things like "dont touch his saw ,hes particular about them"
About me. I use them hard but sometimes I'm out in the shed till dark cleaning them up , makes me sleep better.
