Re: Rebuilding an engine?
Well after looking today I noticed the intake hose was collapsing in the 90 before the carb. I cut about 2" off and reattached to the carb. Seems to have solved some of the problem. Only thing now really is the rear end seems sluggish. It's almost like a motor brake on an electric. It wasn't that way until the shop worked on it. I think I will try to figure out how to change the fluid in the rear end this weekend. I also adjusted the idle so it wasn't roaring and now it shifts better. It sounds like it is knocking some like when you get bad gas in your car. Will the jet in the carb affect any of this? I noticed it looked like the shop had it out. One of the threads was stripped and I cleaned it up and rescrewed it in.

Re: Rebuilding an engine?
Well Iome spare time this weekend and changed the fluid in the rearend. Put a full synthetic gear lube in it. Seems not not be so sluggish. I have driven it pretty hard the last couple of days and seems to be good. I only have one concern, snd that is the knocking sound when accelerating. Not sure if the fuel/air mix is off or what. It sounds like a preignition knock like you get with bad gas or bad tune-up on a car. I think I'll get a new plug and change the oil to make sure it's not that. All was well before the "shop" did a "full service" on it. Still havn't made it to Sears for that compression tester yet though. Hoping I don't need an engine now!!!1 Thanks for everyone's help. I'll keep you updated.

Re: Rebuilding an engine?
Pinging(spark knock) is lean. Take it for a hard run,
shut it down, no idling, and pull the plug. It should be cardboard box tan. Take the plug wrench with you and do it where you have room to run and stop. |

Re: Rebuilding an engine?
So I went to check the amount of gas left in he tank since I don't trust the gauge 100%. That's when I noticed I could feel air blowing from around the carb. I noticed the carb appears to not be seated back on the block properly. Until I can take it apart and inspect it I have gotten some high temp silicone to put around the gap. I'm hopeing that this helps. I would think that would have some affect on how well it runs. I believe Lockman recommended to check the carb bolt tightness. Good call. My question is how should the carb sit on the block? Is there a gasket? I'm guessing the "mechanic" really had no clue what they were doing. On another note, it does seem to be running better. Still havn't changed the oil. Can I get a filter at the local auto store? What grade oil? I believe I saw this info on a thread somewhere.
