I haven't posted in a while so I thought its time for an update.
The rear brakes are back in action. It barely clears the GEBE "strap", but it never rubs according to the chalk i put on it.
I got a cone wrench and tightened things up in the back. Alas, I can't really try it out.
I've tried to start it several times since my last run but no luck. Trying in 10F weather was just for exercise
. The gas actually froze in the line. It was 40F a few days ago and i got it to sputter and cough, but no starts. More choke, more sputter.... more tugging.. and my arm gives out. Somehow I used half a tank of gas doing this (4oz?). To me this means its lean for the cold weather, but i really don't want to take that silly throttle cable assembly and needle thing apart anymore. I'm still somewhat regretting using a pocket bike engine. The sweet high pitched roar of how every many horsee-powers keeps me tugging away.
I dumped my now month or two old gas mix in the car. Now my car exhaust smells like 2 stroke. I must have the low smoke, high smell oil
The brazing on the exhaust joint broke loose somehow. I guess I need to sneak it into a lab or shop and hit it with a MIG real quick. That U shaped bend right out of the engine gets pretty darn hot.
Does anybody have some ideas for a gas tank? I might have pictures of my current setup in another thread. My 8 oz chainsaw tank is pretty nice, but its not enough gas for this thing. Something like a 2 liter pop bottle turned sideways would be great.
I've been type 1 diabetic since I was 2. I haven't really known anything else. I've had a pump since 2004 and it has made things like traveling or a random off schedule day much easier to handle.
