Their are schematics out there that are that have been color color coded. If you perfer to mark your own by tracing out the circuit. Some circuits will share the same grounds so look for that. Work in sections. Make sure have the lamps. Verify the part number. I had one where the put the wrong...

Great, sounds like you got it done. Watch the temp. Keep monitoring hopefully you can confirm you have an engine worth running. I do remember blowing a head gasket back in the day, for some reason it ran a hot but would not overheat. I had no clue it was a blown head gasket. First thing I...

I wouldn't be surprised if the head gasket was installed wrong. Or the head maybe not torqued correctly. Once it's back together and running you can check the oil pressure. And check it after the engine is nice and hot. I have seen them dropped oil pressure while driving them on the highway...

I had two made when I installed a 5 speed tranny. Not sure what he used but it was metric size. For me I really care less as long it close enough and balanced. That was a while back...way back. It still running with'em.

You can probably take measurements and get a pair. Almost sounds obscene.

I believe the blower motor for the carb are same as for the heater so could use it as a parts donor. Just saying incase you have one in your stash.

I would suggest weighing your pig if go with Alcans. Give them a call and they will give you a better idea what to do and what you are getting yourself into. I have a 4" inch lift with Alcan springs. I like it but it's not for everyone. If had to do it again I think I would go wit 3" lift. I...

If don't mind me asking, which shaft did you install?

I like your clamps, like tell the guys at work, you can never too many hard-drive. 😉. Anyhow, you can never have too many clamps...you can always find ways to use them. Great work.

Interesting, my opinion is the Rockwell hardness on the oem is 26 for reason, it acts almost like a bushing in that you want the shaft wear faster than the gear itself. Anyhow, it will be interesting to see if the McMaster one will be as good as the oem one.

Are sure all sparkplugs are firing? The fuel fills the entire sight glass is definitely not right. You could very possibly have a couple of issues. Do the easy stuff. Good luck.

It's a cleaner for your fuel system. I have john deere mower that was missing at idle. I took out the carb and dipped in carb cleaner put it back together and it still an issue idle. I should of poured seafoam in the tank instead. Seafoam fixed my idling issue. I have several experiences where...

Should look this but not glossy, this is reproduction one, got this off the net.

The idea is something is staying on when it should be off when it's not running. Relays should only be activated when they are energized. And when power is removed and no loger energized, meanwhile the the contacts stay in the closed position when they really should open. Bad wiring that is...

You take the top off the carb and see if the float is still functioning like it supposed. Also make sure you don't have leaks on your hoses. You can use soapy spray bottle if you suspect you have bad connection at carb. There is vendor here on mud that sells carbs, I forget who...maybe...
