Also, disconnect the condenser from the points to see if it is the problem.

seven 202 #30 Posted March 31, 2016 Well I see no condenser what I have is a red wire going to the points only ... I have a black wire hanging out going nowhere... And one going up to the sparkplug... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,940 #31 Posted March 31, 2016 The condenser is under the flywheel. I'm thinking the wire going nowhere is for the kill switch. Pictures? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want the raddle cans There are lots of discussions here about types of paint. It depends on your equipment and ability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 60,110 #38 Posted April 10, 2016 I would suggest using the catalyzed hardener with whatever brand of paint you use. Any good auto supply like NAPA should be able to mix that for you, be sure to get a can of reducer to thin it and some lacquer thinner to clean the spray gun when you finish. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seven 202 #39 Posted April 16, 2016 in the process of putting it back together can someone help me on a steering question ? I have 3 steering collars does one go near the bottom im pretty sure of this ,, and is there suppose to be two more up higher one on each side of the steering colum bracket? ive looked at the parts diagram but it doesn't really show three it kinda only shows two Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,154 #40 Posted April 16, 2016 Only two are needed for the steering shaft. the bottom keeps it from pushing in and the top keeps it from pulling out. The third 3/4 lock collar is probably for the foot pedal to keep it from sliding on the peg bar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seven 202 #41 Posted April 16, 2016 OK that's kinda what I thought by looking at the old indents on the shaft thxs One more I have the gas tank but have no straps for it.the four holes in the hood are they the holes that mount the straps to the hood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,196 #42 Posted April 16, 2016 From the factory... the straps were tack welded to the bottom of the hood. Not supposed to be any holes in it, besides the large tank fill hole. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seven 202 #44 Posted April 22, 2016 can someone tell me was size diameter pully should go on the engine it is missing and I need to buy one ,,the other question is im missing a spring for the clutch about how long should this be and were does it attach too?

oliver2-44 10,738 #45 Posted April 23, 2016 I just ordered what hopefully is a correct clutch spring. I'll post the info after I receive it and verify it matches the spec's listed earlier in this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,940 #46 Posted April 23, 2016 The motor pulley is a double groove 2.5" It's not exactly to the specs but I found a spring that's close and works great. Tractor Supply C-257 made by Century Spring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seven 202 #47 Posted April 23, 2016 Does that spring attach in front of the foot pedal or does it go over on the right side by the drive idler pulley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
