Project "Suck it" the third
Project "Suck it" the third
Done,well maybe...I got all the BS taken care of,made a few gaskets and bolted it up.The battery has been wussin out the last week or so so after a little boost off the charger I gave it a few kicks.The bitch started up just fine but the carb will need adjustment to make it run right.I was out there for 8 hours today pullin the motor off the Ho-Matic with Jimmy so I was good with it just starting up,I'll adjust it out tomorrow.
Here it is at last,my new Amal side draft manifold. I made it to accommodate the finned out carb extension that I got a while ago.I think I'm going to clean it up,make a better looking design and sell these,or maybe I the only one who thinks it's cool.Fuck it,I do like it and don't care if no one else does.

Pipe
Project "Suck It" part deuce...
Let's put it this way,I fucked up.After lookin at the pic's of day one I realized my mistake.I had planned on modifying the ports but after a closer look I came the conclusion that A: It wouldn't work with that size
tubing,it would be to wide.And B: I was pretty much building a pipe bomb!! Not good. Basically,the gas would have pooled up in there after running for just a minute and one backfire and it would have gone BOOOOOOOOOOOM! Or at least bang.
I headed out to the garage yesterday to take a look first hand at what I had done.Deciding to not die in a fiery dead I started over from the beginning.
First I had to bend a piece of 1" tubing in the bender.Maybe it was the cold,23 degrees,maybe it's cause I went to fast because of the cold, maybe it's because I went to tight with the bend or maybe it was the fact that this type of bender sucks but it ripped a hole in the back of the pipe.after a quick weld to fill it I got the flanges cut,sanded,drilled and welded on.After a quick reaming,a little graving and some paint it looks like this time it just might work.If you haven't figured out what this is,and no it's not something to do with the Mario Bro's franchise, yet I should have it mounted up and running buy this afternoon.Heading out now to see how the paint set up in the cold,doubt it.Should done after I cut some gaskets.See you back here at 1900.
Over and out.
I never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed but I'm sure I ain't the dullest!

Project "Suck It"-part 1
Project "Suck It"-part 1
Money's tight all over.I usually try and make due with what ever I have laying around for materials.Sticking to that and having a burst of ambition yesterday I started a new project that I've been wanting to try for some time.I'm not sure if this will work with what I'm working with but I'm gonna give it a shot.Even if it works but it don't look good I'll make a new one with better stock later on.
If you know what that is in the first pick,then looking at the second should explain.If you don't already know I'm gonna try and finish today,and when I put up those pic's you will get it.
More to come...

More progress on the Yami'
Didn't have any bars so I made a set out of some offs from and old set of junkers I found at a buddy's.
Got the new pipes set up the other night but not sure if they'll stay this way.
gonna us this LED setup I got at Advanced Auto Parts for $14 for a tail/brake light.
Also for these single LED bulbs (sticking out of the bolt) to use as wikers front and back.
I don't plan on leaving the front end this stock but I just wanted to get it together so I could get a feel of it over all.
