Nice work!!!! I especially like your body tools!!! Really did good getting the dents out!!

Nate do you heat the muffler rim when you open it and reseal it??

yep. clamp the muffler in the vise. take a torch and heat the crimp up. same thing to fold the crimp back closed.

Got a lot back together and have spark. Compression feels good. Got the carb in and all hooked up only to realize the throttle return spring is broken. Also need the screw for upper left hand av buffer. Have it but not with me at the moment. Got the 7900 decal too lol. Here's some pics.

Upper left hand AV ??

Looks great buddy!!
I still haven't even fueled mine yet.
Been too cold.
-12 today........I went and helped fell a few trees with a buddy so he can make his log landing bigger. Ran the ported 346

Thanks im happy with the progress. Its the coarse screw for the av spring behind the recoil cover. Its not quite that cold here but feels like it! Supposed to get some more snow tomorow into Monday too...

 

[nnero]

Anyone know what this is? It was in the box of parts. It could have come from somewhere else.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Yup
That's fer yer upper AV spring

 

[Adirondackstihl]

I think.

 

[nnero]

You are right. Crap. That means I'm missing one too

 

[nnero]

Never mind i got it. There is only one according to the parts list. Got the cylinder cover. Had to drill hole for the decomp and got it slightly off center of course. I'll upgrade to the hd filter set up at some point. Still no carb or exhaust on it lol

How hard does the clutch drum go on? I put the clutch in and then the drum went on hard. Put some bar oil on the shaft and bearing. It turns really hard, like it can't be done by hand. The clutch and shaft spin freely inside the drum. It also appears the drum isn't down quite all the way. Barely enough to get the clip on. Am I missing something here? Brake is not engaged and the band is not contacting the drum.

 

[nnero]

But if it's hard to spin it has to be to contacting something. Now I can't get it off..

 

[nnero]

Never mind. The bottom part of the brake band was out of place. It's all good now. Pay no attention to me lol

 

[nnero]

Got the muffler cleaned with a wire when. Think it was a little too coarse but it looks good to me. Nate did an awesome job on it too. The help from generous members is what has helped make this project possible.

Where are the wood chips?

 

[SteveSS]

Looking good! She'll be running in no time now. Been watching this thread since you brought it home in the box.

 

[nnero]

Thanks! Im getting antsy now. I just went back and looked at the before pictures today. It sure has come a long way

 

[fordf150]

not far from a runner now
