My plates and the bar itself are badly worn. I'll have to build the bar back up with the welder. It looks like the plates aren't too expensive.

Also, if for some reason that nipple turned out to not be a tapered pipe thread, I would have zero hesitation about drilling/tapping it to NPT. Consult the appropriate drill and tap chart to determine what bit you need, the sizes for NPT are always in stock at any industrial supplier because...

For the rings I used, one was tapered, so it was the upper ring and the taper faces up, the other was straight and did not have any markings, so it's the lower ring and can go either way. Hold them against a piece of white paper or similar to look at the edges to make sure. I did not use the...

The impellers on these ones match what is in my machine. I'm guessing it doesn't matter much either way.

Here's the waterpump I got from Jeenda Controls Co on the left, which sells under the Bobcat P/N 6632822, left, and the Dayco DP1182 on the right. Both appear to be completely correct. I'm guessing that somebody in China has fired up production of them and they will be sold under a bunch of...

Mine has some sort of garage organizer hook from HomeDepot screwed into the roof of the cab. It's horrible and hack, and doesn't even work well.

I thought about it a lot, but didn't really hash out my thoughts here. Their detuning of the vacuum advance likely is contributing to engine failure. They dropped the compression enough by using the turbo pistons that they reasonably could have run a lot more timing without any risk of...

Ah, that happens. They simplify the part to save costs, and in so doing make it very hard to work with. If the boss is still cast into it for the window, one could possibly drill and tap it to take a NPT sight glass. They're cheap and available from the usual places.

I wish I knew that before. Everyone just said mid-80s Colt, and all of the ones I looked at were like the one I purchased that is wrong. The Asin part is on eBay, but huge shipping for me, there does not appear to be stock anywhere else. I was able to get a Dayco P/N DP1182 for $21 CAD ($15...

To get it out doesn't take too long, I think it took me a week of evenings working on it and cleaning stuff as I went. You can have it out in about 4 hours if you know what you're doing. You can pull the head off with it in the machine, there is plenty of space. Also, you can take the valve...

Interesting that it doesn't have the window, is it an original carb or did it come from a car? Does the needle look like mine or like the one from the kit that didn't fit my carb? Mine was the correct height with 4 shims under the seat, but there's not really a lot to go on with that as the...

Mine does this too, can you update us on if it fixed it properly?
