Raposo 530 #14087 Posted December 29, 2021 I did, the predator was short term until I found a magnum 8 recoil for it. Also adding round fenders to it. Here’s a quick mock up picture. The trans tunnel will be cut on a slope to mimic a 1045. 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheelhorse#1 1,657 #14096 Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Cleaned a couple carbs and rebuild.This one came off a recently purchased K181. Motor seems to be in great shape with minimal ring wear, bore within spec. Ill see if I can get her running tomorrow. The carb is the worst I’ve seen in a wile,I really like the colors inside this one😉She cleaned up nicely though.

WHX?? 48,815 #14097 Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Finally some horse play today. I don't think I worked on a resto since mid summer last year! Got a carb soaking myself ... how did you get the body so clean & shiney @Wheelhorse#1 ? Mine always comes out of the berryman's with a dull look.

I use a mixture of 50:50 Acetone/trans fluid on the exterior and inside bowl. Spray it on let it sit for a few min.Go over it with a brass wire brush and then a Scotch Bright pad. This one was painted,I like them bare metal. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
