Apparently it's a good idea to run paint through your engine! This is the message I sent the guy on eBay and the response about the carbs. I can't believe this. Personally I think it's crazy. I know it's true but that's not the point. Really would be even more concerned bolting them on my rebuilt engine. Just let the gas eat the paint off and run through your engine! What about the flakes clogging up them freshly cleaned carbs. BTW 278.00!
It was 278.00. I got screwed then. I did not know they were still available. I would have definitely gone that direction. Just looking up year and model it said no longer available! I did need two good bodies due to Butterflies sticking butt....
That really sucks! I'm pretty sure that's not my problem anyway. I'm waiting till I can get to the lake and do a water test before updating. I'm going to try and look at up now. I could send them back. This is my third year of being down! The waters calling. I rechecked my rotary valve timing and the relief valves as advised. Timing apparently is good but fuel valves were in desperate need of cleaning. The pressure relief valve was stopped up! I've done several different things and I am fairly confident that the water test will go good. Only things going to be if it is I won't be sure what the problem was. I'm doing what everybody's suggesting step by step. I had that bite me in the rear in the past. Not this time!
I cracked the end's open. Shouldn't of have 2 but the way the outside looked what's your work look like on the inside. They were opened up and stuff changed. As far as Parts, it says quality gaskets used when needed. Their garbage! I trust my rebuild any day over this. I was just second-guessing myself with the problem I was having. You never know everybody makes a mistake. Here's the item number on eBay of exactly what I purchased 183841401013.
I thought the same thing. I actually took the stuff with me to the lake and was going to do it there in the evening. I pulled the top housing with the gauges off and said forget it. Bolted it back on for the rest of the weekend. Ended up not being that bad. I would have actually done it there if I knew. Worst part was getting the ring off without cutting or damaging it. Instructions said to cut it and trash it. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Rotary valve clearance has NOT been checked. The carbs currently on there were the rebuilt one's from eBay. To be honest I have no idea what's in them carbs. I've been sitting here reading through post for 3 hours trying to figure this out. Guess I need to pull the carbs for the 4th time. I'll check the rotary valve clearance and I'm probably going to buy "back to OEM" carb kits from OSD. I've been sitting here thinking it's still a problem with the fuel system. Also stock fuel filter.
I actually had to go pull the old coil out and look. I did not even see that I can clip the coil ends. One of the last things I did was replacing that coil. I did clip the plug ends but not coil. Pretty sure I found what was going on with the old coil. One of the wires at the coil was corroded all to crap. Replacing the coil was one of the last things I did too get It to start in the water at all.
Well definitely have some issues. For some reason the rotary valve is shredding the block and cover. Fragments of metal I guess that have been going through the engine. Hopefully my block side is still good.? Also is way out of spec. So where do I go at this point? Have the cover lip machined and maybe resurfaced? New rotary valve as well? Also why is it shredding the surfaces? I thought it was going to end up being too tight not loose.
