Thanks Mike! Good to be back, hopeful to get back up and running routinely. Appreciate it as always!

You never checked the shafts for wear, that is the #1 issue that gives trouble, and you never even looked at them.

Thanks for this video. Would also be a good idea to check the float level before buttoning it up.

Dang... The most important part of the video, at 14:04 is out of camera view! I can't get that darn choke spring in place for the life of me!

I have the exact same problem with mine (a fuel leak) sadly, I took both carbs fully apart to clean them

Why do the kits always cost quite a bit when they're just gaskets and stuff?

where did you get those carb kits? I need a hose for the float bowl like your kit has.

How does the jet locking nut actually retain the jet while allowing adjustment when centring? I’ve wondered for a while but I’m not prepared to pull mine apart while it is running well lol.

@CarsBikesandCoffee 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah if it ain’t broke… lol really the linkage that screws to the side of the jet keeps it from falling out.

@@CarsBikesandCoffee haha if it ain’t broke don’t pull it to pieces to see how it works.

@6:40 water is thicker than gas. Better to test in gasoline.

@CarsBikesandCoffee 8 ай бұрын

Interesting, so you’re saying a hole/crack could potentially not be identified by water but gas would. Good to know! Thanks!

Just getting a few final things in this week for suspension and going to get to get back to filming this week. Thanks for your patience, it’s been a long time coming but should go smoothly from here! Also, engine block is at the machinist as we speak! 🤘🏻🔥
