That's good to hear. I really do not want to have to pull the motor for a refresh at this point in time. I'd like to get it under it's own power and start on some of the other things and try to gather all the parts I need to get the pumps/tanks working correctly again and then once I get everything located. Pull it into the shop and start on it for real. Right now I've got too many other projects in the shop and not enough room for all as it is...Barrman said:I figured Gasser, but wanted to make sure it hadn't been swapped out before I got all excited about another one.
I had mine buried to the steps in mud Saturday and that engine just wanted me to get into it harder to try and get out. I was real impressed with the grunt of it.
Thanks!Congratulations.
Looks like that's definitely the next step!Chirs is right about the starter. Pull it off, clean and lube it and put it back together.
Mine sat since 1981 before I brought it home in December. Pull the plugs, put oil in there, let it sit, change the engine oil, turn it over on the starter without the plugs until you get oil psi (Do it in 10-12 second burst), put the plugs in, check the points and put fuel to it.
A trick I used because the tank was all gumed up was put a Gerry can on the drivers running board holder and run a line from it to the fuel pump right there on the side of the engine. You will notice the fuel pump has a primer lever. Pump in until you hear gas going in the carb and fire it up. Oh, change your axle, transmisison and t-case oil before you do much moving around with it. Mine were an amazing rainbow of colors after sitting 20+ years.
