Sweet mercy it's be a long while since I was here. If you've been stopping by to see if the thread or I may died or out of curiosity to see just what an Indian tri car was, bless you. A number of things have happened, one being that things had to be moved out of the house and into the garage so there was no room to do much work then my arthritis flared up for a number of months. Couldn't hold tools if there had been room.
The garage has now been hollowed out and today I was back at the Indian. Arthritis is still bad but manageable as it's going to get. The fella that modified the motor for me said when he sent it to me that the carb needed rebuilding. I've been looking for a rebuilding kit but all there seems to be is a generic kit that everyone has but doesn't have all the gaskets needed. While looking around the net I found the model number for the carb and that opened up the search. Up until then all I had was what make and model of snow thrower they came on.
The carb was on a lot of chain saws as well but the motor is forty four years old and the company that made them is out of business and the assets of the company have been sold a few times since then. I was able to find some new and a lot of used carbs with the model number including the last factory rebuild kit that a company had from the buy out they made of a former dealers stock.
It will be here in a week or so and then I'll place the carb in the ultrasonic cleaner then rebuild it and put the motor back together and see it it works.
Lots of other things to do until then.
Steve.
