Racinbob 11,568 #1 Posted February 22 Just a mini update as the going is a bit slow. Today was the first day in over a week where I warmed up the garage. I touched up the white on the dash. I will black out the rivets. The gas tank needed some loving. It cleaned up inside and out really nice. I had a cap, valve and bung in my stash. I won't install it until I decide where I'm putting the electric pump. The 23-10.50 rears aren't on the correct offset wheels for a Wheel Horse but they just made it.......as long as I don't use chains. The oil drain was a bit of an issue. It wanted to hit the steering rod. I got it piped out now. I've had the unwobbled engine base done a while now but wasn't certain it would fit right. It fit perfect and the engine is officially reinstalled now. I want to get a 1/2" longer nipple for the oil drain so no oil in it until I do that. The fuel pump will be blanked off. The muffler and other stuff on the front of the engine won't be done until I get the steering tower back on and the control cables connected. That's gotta wait until I can spray outside. I wanted to get it this far today so I can push it aside and bring in the 314-H Buyers Remorse in from the barn. Parts will be coming in for it the next few days. 3 13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then scrubbed and rinsed well. It really wasn't needed but I then lightly wiped it down with Mothers Back to Black. 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,015 #5 Posted February 22 @Racinbob nice build up ! been using the CARBOLE MICRO ELECTRIC PUMPS FOR YEARS , using the low pressure 2-3.5 psi , also added a fuel check valve , vertically just before carb , so I can verify fuel to carb hold . have set up on 3 horses , been very solid . might even lay in a 5/16 steel brake line , inside of frame length , as fuel line , dramatically cutting down on fuel hose break down , debris . leaving only the short run to tank and carb , easily fitted . MOTHERS BACK TO BLACK , very good stuff . always experimenting with a change , for something , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
