chasinthemirage Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 What does the hatch in the centre of the hood give you access to? Fuel tank? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Yeah, fuel filler. Unsure why the whole thing hinges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasinthemirage Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It's a pretty cool feature imo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 The best part is that this thing lived by the sea (coromandel) and yet its still only got surface rust* *With exception of the 2 hood holes and the bottom corners of yhe front side panels and also the rear guards. So what im trying to say in hindsight is that the hoods good and the rest isnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post flyingbrick Posted June 9, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2018 Went and met a super awesome barry in Thames who actually rebuilds starters and alternators. This guy is the ONLY person I'd spoken to who had any idea about my starter problems. He had a replacement part on the shelf for $140 and was happy as to show me all of his NOS spare parts and impossible to find bits and pieces. Every other person tried to sell me a new starter! I'd highly recommend him to anyone with old electrical stuff that should work but doesn't. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Im pretty good at assembling these starters now. Had an issue with the new component not sliding nicely on the shafts spline without binding. Took about an hour with a diamond hone to get all the rubbing spots down..one by one. Then engaged the coil with jumper leads and set the pinion throw using flathead and jam nut on side of starter. This is so that when at max throw you arent loading the fork and pinion up into the end of the snout. Installed the starter, made sure there was no water in any of the fuel lines/filters, emptied the intake air cleaner (it was FULL of water) and... She fired into life after about 4 revolutions. First time in quite a while and it only took a few seconds for it to have zero smoke and run SUPER clean Then i stood back and put thr hood on. I havent finished with thr side panels and grille yet. Then back into the shed i wire brushed and penetrolled the underside of the hood and then hammered out the big dents up front. Ill get it better later (probably never will) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
