Since last post lots has happened. I dismantled the Carburetors and found that they are mostly junk. I found most the parts I would need to rebuild them online. Unfortunately it would cost about the same to rebuild them as to buy new ones. I am thinking that I might try to score some half way decent carbs on eBay and rebuild them.
I also built a motor stand for dismantling and rebuilding of the motor. Its not too exciting but I have attached a picture.
On May 14th Paul and I went down to Goose Island with the motor and met up with the Dr. While there we started tearing down the motor. So far we have removed the primary side cover, the clutch assembly and the alternator. We tried to remove the gear behind the alternator but the last owner used loctite to hold it on. I am told that you can use heat to break down Loctite but I have not tried it yet.
We also removed the timing cover and all the timing gears. That went pretty easy and everything looks really good. Thank god that the Dr had all the gear pullers.

This week I purchased a complete gasket set off of eBay. I am pretty sure that the set has all the gaskets I would need for a complete rebuild. Check that off the list.
Next up transmission and getting the gear off.
Till next time.
