Hey guys,
Slow prgress, but I got through the Christmas travel bit, and back at it. I got a 4 ft lockar throttle cable and the carb bracket, plus I got a walker 2 1/2 inch muffler. Still waiting for the pedal to arrive.
I had to replace the water pump and rebuld the solenoid. I had to remove and solder the radiator.
Yesterday I dragged an old bumper up from the barn to mount on the farme so I can hook up an old U-haul tow bar and take it into town to have our local exhaust guru make the up and down pipes for the turbo.
I still havn;t gotten it running yet. When I picked up the engine to set it in the frame, I used the rear head bolt to lift it. The washer I had around the bolt slipped and bent one of the pushrods, which i replaced, but I think I have it to tight. I get a poping back through the carb. I am going to have to loosen it up and check the timing.
I'm working on it outside and its turned off cold and snow, so I may postpone it till it warms up a bit.
