Got my gasket set today and started putting stuff back together. I noticed the dowel pin is missing that goes in front of the main gear and secures the water pump drive gear. The set nut for that assy is also pretty stripped out. I went ahead and ordered those two parts before I finish sealing it up.
I had my guy at the shop look at the cylinder, head, and piston. All in working order. At least, my guy says I'll get by with it for a while. The piston has a decent scuff from rubbing on that aluminum deposit, but a quick wipe down with muriatic acid took care of the aluminum piled up on the nikisil inside the cylinder. The plating looks good, except a tiny bit of gouging around the exhaust bridges. We decided it's OK for now, but I'm going to have my extra cyinder sleeved as soon as funds allow, and on hand for a rebuild sometime next year.
I went ahead and cut / gutted the pipe. Man, getting that inner lining out was a @$%^. Jetting in the carb looks to be stock right now. 158 main, 48 pilot, and 1172 needle. I think those are the stock jets, correct? I have a buddy with a MIG welder, we'll get the pipe back together monday or tuesday evening, and hopefully my parts will arrive shortly after that. Should be ready for a second test run late this week! :cool:
Just throwin in an update! Hope ya'll are all well.
*edit*
Man, I just finished dissasembling the spark arrestor. What a mess! I don't think anything was going through there! I have the pieces in submersion cleaner now. Hopefully she can breath after all this! Generally I will need to richen it up a bit after opening up the exhaust, yes? What jets should I have on-hand?
