18 Automatic engine

Recommended Posts

Been working on my engine.

Took it apart and soaked the carb, replaced the float.

Painted it up a little before putting it back together

found all sorts of gunk in the engine fins.

Hope it runs better.

Before It was cutting out when I would hit a bump.

Comments are welcome!!!

more you comment... then the more pictures I will add as progress comes along.

Looking good :happy-jumpeveryone:Sure hope I find the time to finish my 18 auto, I'm doing a complete restore.

Sounds like you figured out your "cutting out" problem, thats where I would of started also.

Might check electrical connections "grounds also"

just got the mufflers on

started right up!!!! runs smoother and does not cut out on rough bumps

Seems to have a lot more speed too, but I dont know how the engine could have anything to do with that.

I need to make a grill for it.

since this was successful I need to find that bracket to attach a plow.

"I need to make a grill for it.

They are available on eBay from time to time if you want to keep the original look.
