Message: <blockquote data-quote="IndianaJohn" data-source="post: 75391" data-attributes="member: 10633"><p>Well, my attempts to get a new jet for the carb didn't go well. It wound up on back order, so....... I decided a couple of days ago to go ahead and remove all the sheet metal from the engine and blow everything out while I was waiting. I figured maybe I could knock the jet loose while blowing everything out. Really didn't have anything to lose at that point. So I blew out all the old grass and built up dirt. Before I buttoned everything up, I started looking around under the loader and around under the engine on the frame. I just happened to look up and right in front of me on top of one of the steel lines, nestled back against the frame, was the missing jet. !!! I could tell it had been laying there for a while as it had fresh paint on it. Somehow my wife and I had both managed to miss it. I cleaned it up with carb cleaner, very carefully reinstalled it, buttoned up the carb, reinstalled the sheet metal, and tried the engine. Runs like a champ now! So next up was coming up with a seat. I just happened to find an old "captains chair" seat out of an old van that I had sitting in the barn. Then it was just a matter of re-drilling the mounting holes in the seat mounting plate to fit the adjusters on the seat, and I had the best seat in the house on my loader. Next up was remounting the bucket and all was ready. We have been cleaning up some stuff that was piled up around the old barn, and used the loader to move some things. Worked great! Still have a few more things to do, but the old girl is at least usable now. Really pleased so far, but still haven't tried any digging yet. That will be the real test. If I can ever figure out how to post some pics here, I'll let everybody take a look.</p></blockquote><p></p>
