One legend says that the truckers in the 1920s, driving slow trucks on then-dark streets, were often the victims of thieves as they moved loads of chickens through small towns. To help stop this problem, truckers started putting lanterns around their cargo – thus the name, Chicken Lights... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin she got a GREAT amount of amusement out of your gift!!! She says tell him "Thank you very much!". Note that in the picture she's wearing the official BBT uniform. That's the bottom of her Black Belt gi. Also note the BBT created Wheelhorse table of awesomeness supporting the feets. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,415 #220 Posted February 23, 2023 Well folks. Back to the Millie for a bit here. @Oldskool @SylvanLakeWH BBT's next new old something to do... The 10 HP Tecumseh engine was always meant to be a temporary donor engine. We'll take a peak at the original engine which is of course a Kohler 8 HP. We'll also see about adding a few extra gears and a Limited Slip Differential. Swapping the 3 speed for a 6 speed. Yesterday Trina was working from home and it was pretty quiet on the 'puter so she went around the acreage here and gathered up the engine and Starter/generator. She drained the (her words) black goo - from the oil pan. Removed the carb, fuel pump, breather and points cover from the engine. We know the engine had no compression and we know it was because of the exhaust valve being caked with carbon. We'll remove the valves, clean em up, check clearance. Drop the oil pan off and look around in there. After doing some assessment we'll decide what level of work and parts replacement is necessary. 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,415 #225 Posted February 26, 2023 Trina finished cleaning up the bulk of the muck from the block. Removed the oil pan so we could take a look at the engine bottom end. Looks good. She reinstalled the oil pan. We got the exhaust valve keepers put back in. Checked proper clearance on both valves. Exhaust - .017 Intake - .007 She installed the fuel pump and breather. I hand planed the cylinder head just a bit. Happy to see it's barely out of contour. We torqued it down to 18 or 20 ft lbs. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
