9-22-2008 Floor, Tilt and Carb

Well this past weekend was spent getting the floor panels cut and fit checked. All of the parts fits. Next they will be painted with Gluvit for preservation.

Got the Tilt system sort of working. The new motor runs but it does not tilt the motor up correctly. You have to help it up. Started checking and cleaning and performance was somewhat improved, however, it is not what it should be. Next all the wires are going to be inspected and potentially replaced with new copper along with new tilt solenoids. The housing will be inspected as well and potentially have the parts replaced with a new clutch pack.

The Carb looks ok on the motor however, I think I have figured out that the choke spring is broken. Not sure. need to pull off the automatic choke cover and see. I am thinking about just replacing the carb, however, I would like to actually get the motor running before I put too much more money in it. I have a new distributor and coil on the way as it was determiend to be more cost effective to put in a modern electronic distributor than spend all the money on parts for new points, caps, etc. Plus, the distributor looks like heck and there is a lot corrosion.

In case you are interested you can find lots of useful parts at the following companies.
