Re: Do you think a sleeve will fix this?

Some People melt a large hole in the piston head in order it can give some while whacking it out.

Re: Do you think a sleeve will fix this?

That is a wide crack. The cylinder wall might have lost most of it’s rigdity and may on longer hold a sleeve. Have a go at it. And some locktite, I guess.

Re: King Pins Anyone in MN that can do them

Now, there you go. The $8 reamer. One trick is not to lean too hard on the wrench while cranking, as not to egg shape the hole. Be genle, the tool drags in all by itself when turned. I covered to...

Yep. The F1 King pin is 0.8125.

Re: 94 carb.

That‘s more than adequate. Most people start at 1-1.5 turns from a light seating. Then go for the highest idle rpm or preferrably the highest manifold vaccum reading.

Re: Torque for Flyeheel to crank bolts?

Simply clamp a vise grip to the flywheel ring gear. It is shown in Vern Tardels book. I doubted the method, so grabbed a vise grip and torqued the bolts down to 80. No problem at all.

Depending if you are at sea level or elevated altitude, this might be the right one for you - or not.

Great, Kurt. The Genny has only 2 brushes. Should have come to my own mind, though.
