Is your factory amp meter still functional?

Mine did the same thing until I decided to remove the amp meter from the equation. You could wiggle the big wires at the back of the meter and cause loss of power.

If this is the case and you want it to work you’ll need to remove the cluster and clean the connections

Amp meter is still working. For now, as long as it's working I'm not going to worry about it. Maybe will take a look behind the cluster this winter if I get the other project completed.

Just keep that info in your pocket it if it won’t start one day.

Reach up there and give the wires a wiggle and see if it’ll go then.

The Lokar 1034 adapter and some sort of throttle cable bracket is first up to bat.

It’s what City Racer shows as an option to connect the throttle cable, however, they/he (no pronoun jokes) “doesn’t support” that option.
Not sure what that means?

Photo borrowed without asking from City Racer:

I bought a carb from him, hopefully he doesn’t mind me posting this photo.

When I switched to the Fuji carb from City Racer I swapped these components off the Chinese carb I had before.

Could you show me/us?
Pretty please?
 
Well….went from a complete seized-geared (from rust) 8274 to a working 8274. Took it completely apart…wire wheeled, electrolysis, replaced the motor with a used good one as the motor was toast. Just need a hook and some cables, but spooled in and out well. Picked up the CCOT bumper from @cims1970fj40 last week. Let me tell everyone how fun it was getting the bolts tightened on the inside of the bumper!! That thing is stout as can be. Used a floor Jack to raise the 8274 into place to bolt it on. The end cap is 3D printer from a guy on Facebook…and I used nail polish to color it. Also, had to get the dancing bears and Phish plate frame on there. ;)

Anyone got an extra Warn winch hook?? I need a hook.

Remind me in the morning about the hook. I should have one for you.

This is what I need. Can’t find anything like it so I guess I’ll be bending up metal.

Awesome. Thanks for the pic.

Whipped this up based on the picture from Ryan, some CAD and some loose measurements.
Test fit shortly
