Ok, now the fun has begun!
I got the motor in my shop and built a ghetto engine stand using a bench press and a 2×4. It works.
I mounted the motor and played around for a minute and got to work.
First, I took off the lower cover using the four screws. Then I removed the four screws holding the gas tank on, the pin holding the primer needle to the carb, and the fuel line on the fuel tap. I removed the tank and determined it would be needed to be cleaned. How do I best do this?
I then began to remove the fuel lines. I got the one off of the carb and the one on one of the needles. I want to get these soaking as soon as possible. What do I use for this (carb cleaner, acetone, lacquer thinner)? I then decided to try and remove the fuel tap on the tank. Which direction is this threaded? Is it usually tight?
For now, James
P.S., pictures are coming!
