    Stupid, crazy project ideas.

    Buddy of mine and I are embarking on a project. We both work in healthcare, but he's a mechanical engineering student and I used to be a welder and can mangle stuff on a lathe a little bit, so we're gonna hit up the metal shop at the local university and screw around some. He's better with...

    2000 Chevy starting trouble

    I'm so aggravated, this is gonna be short. The Chebby was gonna be my DD while Adelaide got restored. I'm starting to think I got bad juju. Motor won't catch. Starter kicks in like a champeen, cranks real strong, takes a couple turns on gas, then dies. Used to just be when it was hot, now it's...

    Front brake rebuild Qs

    Adelaide is currently in project mode. I figured that as long as I am avoiding emissions work :censor:, I might as well shape up the front end a little. Having spent some quality time staring at the front axle while wrestling TREs, I decided to rebuild the brake calipers, Now let me quash the...

    Carburetor, chapter 734,097

    Well, I've finally done it. I thought the carburetor rebuild was going so well, but now I'm in over my head. I figured I would pull the accelerator butterflies just to make sure I got them nice and clean. Turns out the screws that hold them in are peened on the back end, so all the heads...

    2F manual in N. Colorado?

    Howdy fellas (and lasses)- I have just received a carb kit and float from our friends at SOR, but was unaware that the Keyster kit does not come with any instructions, diagrams, etc. My POS Chilton manual has almost nothing on the 2F carb, and I have heard that the factory engine manual is the...

    My arch-nemesis CARBURETRON

    Well, it's final. The old carburetor needs rebuilt. I put up a couple of threads trying to figure out why the ol' lady wouldn't pass emissions, but recent testing shows it could be nothing but the (massively oversupplied) carburetor. A mechanic buddy suggests a broken float, as the sight glass...

    2F carb tuning?

    Howdy all... I am brand new to the site, but a six-year owner of a 1987 FJ60 that needs, among many other things, a little carburetor tuning. The mix is just running a little rich, I think, partially due to the fact that I just moved from Washington state (~800 ft.) to Colorado (~6000 ft.)...
