The rest of the carb rebuild pics.

Thanks! Here are more pics of the Carb rebuild. I drilled out the brass plugs used to block the ports...cleaned out the ports...removed the valve plates and sandblasted the carb body. I also used a little JB Weld to hold the nameplate back in its place. Next I have to plug the holes back up...

Carb removal...lots of great information is available on how to properly restore a Model T carb...looking forward to it...seems very straight forward.

Due to inclement weather Steam Up has been postponed to Saturday, October 17, 2015

More fan dis-assembly. The bronze bearings looked good and still had a nice sliding fit with the fan shaft. I cleaned it all up with some Scotch Brite pads and used some new grease. I can't put it back together without a new gasket plus I'm currently sandblasting the fan parts that require it.

We fixed a few mistakes yesterday (that took up most of our time). We completed the steering tiller bracket and my night student completed the welding for the speed control brackets. We also added oil holes and grooves to the connecting rod bearings and rear axle bearings.

Steve...the Counterweight is perfect! The timing gear stud is 1" longer than it was supposed to be. And this is the second timing gear stud we had to make. (maybe this is why its taking so long;D) Even with these little problems the students are quickly realizing that even with 3D CAD and all...

We placed the connecting rods on a hot plate and the sleeve bearings in the freezer for a nice press fit (about .003 to .004). I used a Dremel to make small grooves on the outside diameter of the bearing to give the Loctite a place to go during installation. Not sure if this is going to work but...
