Ok guys im back. Been surfin here for reference while working on my 002a. I got a lot done so far. The generator looks very promising and it shows little wear in comparison to most pics i have seen of other 002a's with far more hours. I think the 89 hours on it are in fact original. injector pump moves freely and all related parts are also free moving.
Prolly within a week of starting it. I took a ton of pics but am having a hard time posting normal sized pics here. SS wants me to shrink the pics down to almost nothing, which makes them practically unviewable. Anyone have an idea ? I'm linking from photobucket?
Went to harbor freight and bought a small parts washer. It was broken. Went back, opened the last two in front of cashier, both broken. Sigh. Been oiling moving points, derusting with muriatic acid (i know i know, i have NO patience for anything else) , then priming for now, cleaning stuff, familiarizing myself with moving parts etc.
Couple questions. I may be missing the washer on the seperator/strainer cup. Strainer is inside, along with a bolt on the stem, then the cup, then acorn nut holding cup on to stem. Parts diagram on the TM shows a washer between cup and acorn nut. Is this rubber or brass ? If brass, what keeps oil from leaking past it ? I plan on the spin on kits for everything but i need to know it will run and produce power first. One step at a time. Filters on order and should be here in a couple days. Gotta stop at napa tomorrow for 2222 air filter.
Filled gas tank with a full can of degreaser and pressure washed at car wash. Unreal the difference. I have to derust with acid and then seal with caswells, all is looking good so far.
So, filters coming, acid wash and seal tank, wash tank fittings and bits with pressure washer when it come in later this week, flush fuel lines and fuel pump filters, And start her up.
Question, is there a way to prime the oiling system before starting the engine ? I'm sure all the oil drained out of the bearings and cyclinder walls long ago. I'd love to prime the oiling system first before running at any speed or even first start.
Also, for what ever reason, i can't get the page to load that shows in detail the starting procedure. Most of the TM loads for me but some pages are blank. I don't want to cause any damage during first start and would REALLY prefer to know exactly what i'm doing upon first start up.
Am i missing anything ?
