I want to apply some red paint today but it is currently very foggy and once that clears the rain starts again for the next few days. It seems we only get one day a week without rain any more. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 9,183 #54 Posted August 31 Governor lever bead blasted and painted. I used chrome paint as that is what I had on hand. Hopefully it will look OK. New bolt and flat washer with the OEM nut. Choke and throttle lever assembly ready to go together. These were painted with the same chrome paint after bead blasting. Choke and throttle lever assembled. New bolt, lockwasher, and flat washer. All other parts OEM I did use a new flat washer under the nut as well even though there was not one there and the parts manual does not show it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 9,183 #56 Posted September 1 Maybe someone can help me out. I am missing this linkage rod that goes from the choke lever on the carb to the choke lever. I made one that works but an original would be nice. I can order one but the shipping the vendors are charging is crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 9,183 #60 Posted Thursday at 09:59 PM Finally got a sunny day here today. It rained just under an inch last night though. I managed to get the bottom of the hoods and fenders painted that I had sanded and primed a few days ago. Hopefully I can get the top sides painted on Sunday as it is not supposed to rain that day. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 9,183 #61 Posted yesterday at 03:49 PM Well, it is sunny today. Supposed to rain tonight but I took that as a good day to apply some paint. Top side of two hoods and two fenders got some red paint. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 9,183 #62 Posted yesterday at 05:13 PM Masking removed from bottom of hood. Red is now complete. There are some dust and bugs in the paint but I will clean that up later. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 9,183 #63 Posted 48 minutes ago Got the rear end out and propped up on stands. It then got the final cleanup, wire wheeling, and sanding complete. A coat of primer was applied. I would have preferred red primer but I ran out of that so the grey will have to do. A couple of coats of IH red was applied. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
