Convinced Kidlet#2 to come babysit LTBabe (since LTGal is down with the first of the nasty Fall colds ), so I could get back to work on Bror….
Decided to cleanup the crankcase cover first, so cleaned up a big bucket, got some hot soapy water into it and set to… Well, first I figured I should make sure I had all the small movable bits off it, like the breaker points and breaker shaft, and the governor arm (at least I think thats it…)
Of course the governor arm was held in by one of those infamous “j-clips”… but as you can see, I triumphed! HahA! My secret was to move to the center of the garage, then take my calipers So, once I got the shaft out I noticed that the end piece here seems a bit loose on the shaft…. Wonder if that means replacement…. I then pulled all the rest of the plugs off the crankcase cover… What I don’t know is why these two would be there at all… and I’m really not sure why the LEFT one looks like a fitting for, say an oil pressure gauge… So, then a whole bunch of cleaning and scrubbing and drying, then firing up the air compressor to do a final air dry… My bottle brushes came in REAL handy (well, actually they’re cleaning brushes from a friend’s water filtration system). I got SO ambitious, and figured I’d start on the actual crank case… First order of business, after my successful removal of the governor arm, was removal of the governor spool (Also held on by a j-clip!). I was surprised to find a bushing/washer behind the spool… So, now that supper’s done, and Kidlet #2’s still in charge of LTBabe, I’m gonna head back out and clean the OTHER side of the crank case… __________________
