I managed to swap the large tank and pulsa-jet for a short tank and pulsa-jet with a friend.
I wasted no time getting into it...
I have finished rebuilding the carb. Some of the things I did to it include:
Scrubbing/sanding/cleaning it by hand, as the sandblaster no longer functions properly :hammer:
Removing the choke barrel.
Sanding the choke barrel with 1200 wet & dry sandpaper, resulting in a shiny but unnecessary finish.
Replacing the rivet so that the choke was more firm.
Removing that spiral thing that "better mixes fuel and air". I read on the forum that most take it out anyway.
Polishing the crankcase vent tube (useless but satisfying :laugh
.
Looking at the finished product :thumbsup:
The tank I got with this carb is probably the cleanest tank I have ever seen! Not a spot of rust anywhere! Even the little fuel bowl looks new. Hope to get it painted and assembled tomorrow.
I found a nearby sandblasting outfit that can hopefully do my frame at a good price.
I need to get stuff done tomorrow because i'll be away for 9 days. That means that I will be very restricted on time.
