 Re: Deacon's Bike
One of the members here (big joe) sent me an engine just like the one I ruined this morning. As luck would have it, it arrived just as I finished tearing down the ruined engine. Someone had worked on is engine and told him it had low compression. I started it in two minutes but it would not keep running, so I switched out the carb for one I knew worked. Took a little more work to seal off the gasket ect but it runs like a dream. Better than the original engine I ruined (of course I would say that)
Tomorrow I need to do a few things to it and then its ready to mount. I am still having second thoughts about this build but we shall see. At least the drive wheels are ready and don't need any adjusting on the engine. Not that I would ever tap a drive shaft again regardless of the need. |
