I really hate to ask this but what are your plans for it? Build a waste oil burner probably. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,984 #31 Posted Thursday at 12:28 PM I got Benny fired up the other day! @adsm08 you were right about one of the front tires. So, I rocked it with one tire flat on the bottom/top/front/back while it rolled along. The foot rod is broken from the frame. It’s got a “safety loop” on each side from an S hook or small chain link. The drive belt may be a bit too long. I need to hold the clutch pedal back to engage the belt. There’s a big fuel leak from the one piece tank, where the very large pipe bushing meets the tank. I was able to tighten it about 1/8 turn, but it just slowed the leak. I’ll have to take it apart, clean it up, and re-assemble. The best part though, no smoke from the engine! It starts stubborn with a weak battery, but once it pops off, it runs great! All I did, was verify it had spark, charge the battery for a day, put fuel in and fire it up. 5 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This 701 double pulley engine will be the second one I’ve come across now. If it runs well, I may shelf it. I’ve got a yank start K-181 that came from @wallfish last year that I’d like to put to use. You know, one less battery I gotta maintain… although I just got two good used batteries from @Bow_Extreme a few weeks back. This one is actually kind of rough. The square seat pan has been welded up crudely, the belt guard is worked on pretty hard, the hood has been welded and has a couple funky holes in it, etc. I haven’t checked out the steering, or transmission. There’s a boy across town who watches my YT videos pretty religiously. He’s got a C-101 that he was pretty proud to show me. Funny thing, his mom and Mrs. P are real good friends from school. When I stopped by to visit him one day, it was like he was star struck I’ve thought maybe I would find something I have and see if he wants to come work on it with me some day. At the end of the day, send it down the road with him. This one? Maybe Jane the Commando 6? I don’t know.

I contacted his mother this morning. She’s thrilled that I’m looking forward to helping him out. I think I have just the machine in mind that I wouldn’t mind seeing it go down the road. He does have a C series, but just told his dad he wants to find another one. He also wants to start a YouTube channel, so she’s all on board with us filming ourselves working on it, and him receiving it as a surprise at the end. 4 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
