Question's about a 80 or 82 Gas Cart

Comet Duster clutch. Be careful not to damage the crank threads as the bolt size is real close to the same size as the rod you'll be using. You may want to find a piece of aluminum for a slug that fits tight in the hole and make a slug about 1/2" long for the puller bolt to turn on instead of the crank.

Got the clutch and flywheel removed, when i checked the points they had 26 thousands gap; seals should be here in the next day or two, then its back together I hope

Be sure to mark the point plate and install in in the same location after the seal is replaced. Install the seal with a bit of BLUE Loctite on the outer edge to hold it in place and lube the inner rubber as it slides over the crank.

well here is my next issue the points on top are the old ones and the ones on bottom are the new ones, not sure about making new ones work where old one was mounted IMG_20130515_171321.jpg IMG_20130515_171330.jpg

Does the slots in the new points alien with the slots in the plate Remember point gap will effect timing but timing will not effect point gap. Set point gap first then adjust timing. Try to place the new point plate on the housing and lets see what that looks like. I would think you have to use the original plate so you have a place to mount the condenser.

Have engine back together and running, does the rear end take 90 weight? Still need to change rear end oil, repack wheel bearings and a few other odds and ends, then should be ready to putt around

Manual says 30W engine oil but I don't see any problem with gear oil some use it some runs the engine oil after all your not running 100,000 mi. at 65 mph. I'd say your call
