Received the cylinder head in the mail. Have a busy week or 2 so will update again when I have time to install. Question though, It appears it has the thermostat installed, should i remove and install the one on the motor already - since I know it works? or just use the one already on the...

Shipped parcel post he says... :cry:

Still waiting for it to arrive... :cry:

hahahaha Step Brothers fan are we? Love their dumb song: "Boats-n-Hoes"

Forgot to upload the pictures from changing the impeller. It was obvious someone had done this before, as one of the screws was a little torn up.

Yeah, the video was taken w/ my wife's Thunderbolt, or it would have been longer. Impeller works great, pumping alot of water now! The pull start handle is deteriorating, so I'll pick up a new one of those as well. So: Replace cylinder head Replace spark plugs Replace Rope Start Handle Replace...

https://youtu.be/Z5pHUmbvxSI Need a new fuel tank I'm pretty sure, and new fuel. Then I can hopefully adjust idle...

Copy that, will knock it out today.

I'm going to fill up a trash can tomorrow and give that a shot. I'll also double check the fuel tank to see if it was open or closed vent (anxious me forgot). The fuel hose is new Attwood so resistant to ethenol, but the tank itself is old. Fuel lines on the motor seemed fine when I was...

Another problem? Keep in mind I'm in a bucket, and outside temps are mid 70's. Will only run with choke on. I've only allowed it to run for 30 seconds at most, due to the fact no water was coming from the water outlet (that I noticed). This engine (according to my reading) has a thermostat...

Got the motor on the bench waiting... Got the parts ready... Cowl off... Carb Cleaner... Companion... Re-assembly Starts with suface prep... Waiting for morning test run...

Starting on the carb rebuild tonight after work :wink: , will do my best to take pics along the way. Sent payment out for the "new" cylinder head, so hopefully have that as well by weeks end.

Got the carb kit, and impeller in the mail this afternoon. Will probably dig into it tonight or tomorrow possibly depending on the honey-do list. I had completely forgotten about getting a new head gasket :twisted: wish I would have remembered so I could have bundled together to save another...

Copy that. I appeciate the advise. The contact emailed me back, sending him a check tomorrow. I'm done for the day... 16hrs at work... going to the Legion with the Mrs for some grub-n-chug. I will update more as soon as I receive parts in the mail.

1 382048 -- CARB REP KIT 0382048 1 18-3003 -- Impeller 18-3003 Put my order in, got the impeller because I figured might as well... being charged 10$ shipping regardless. If it needs it I'll install it, if it doesn't I'll change it out regardless in the winter as preventive maintenance. So...

Got the PM. I emailed the gentleman yesterday early afternoon, if he doesn't reply by Thurs. I just give him a ring. Thanks yet again, huge help and motivation!

Got the new rope in her. My local store here doesn't loan out compression testers, so it will have to wait until I make it into HF in town. Additionally, I have the old head on there still that has the thread inserts (which are stuck to one of the sparkplugs), so testing would be difficult as...

Yeah, I have 2 hrs to work on the motor (during workdays), and 8 hrs to think about working on the motor. :roll: I just keep telling myself my luck'll turn around...

I tried choked, partial choke, no choke... I'm going to repair the rope in the morning hopefully, and then will do more diagnostics. I'm sure there is a different way to do this, but here is my plan:I'm going to pull the rope out all the way (still connected to recoil mechanism). Put a wood...

Got the email, downloaded the file, but have yet to look at it as I had to come into work. I have the next few days off so hopefully will have more information for you Mon/Tues. Thanks for the help! Thanks again, and will respond more tomorrow. I will be ordering the carb kit tomorrow as well...
