ebinmaine 67,605 #1 Posted July 23, 2021 Thanks to @Herder for the gifting of the chassis in the first place. 1966 856 with a 1968 Tecumseh 10 HP. It still needs some tinkering on the belt guard and the carb needs a good cleaning. Other than that it's a pretty wicked runner!! O. E. Engine pulley is 2". This one is a 4". Fast little ride. Works out fine because Trina normally goes everywhere in 2nd. With Millie she'll use 1st. Wooooohooooo!!!! 8 12 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,741 #13 Posted July 24, 2021 20 minutes ago, Horse Newbie said: Wanting to learn...why ? One reason the faster the engine is running when you turn it off the more revolutions it will make after the spark is gone drawing in fuel mixture that will not be burned. That de-oils internals and is pumped into the the muffler that may have hot spots causing KaPow back fires. Modern engines have anti backfire valves to prevent this. 3 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be her plow rig and working tractor for the winter. In a few months her Pigpen 867 will be torn down for it's repaint.

Now that we're home from the show I'll properly clean out the carb so it can idle down. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your projects can wait another year or three, but you better get Trina's finished ASAP! That means it should have been finished yesterday, so get on it. Trina been busy, we are not to sure about you. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When she says," I'm thinking about doing such and such" it means it's going to start immediately and I better get caught up!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
