Anyone know anything about this beasty? http://picasaweb.google.com/gunneras...asolineWelder# I brought it home last night. Previous owner claimed it ran the last time they welded with it..about 12 yrs ago. Look at the wheels....blink blink..Ive never seen a wheel with no hole in the middle before. I drug it from Bakersfield..about 45 miles at 55-60 mph and the bearings didnt get warm..and I know it had sat parked for at least 8 yrs since they pulled it down from the ranch. Owner claimed it had come off a Liberty Ship vintage WW2...shrug Anyone have any ideas? Gunner Whenever a Liberal utters the term "Common Sense approach"....grab your wallet, your ass, and your guns because the sombitch is about to do something damned nasty to all three of them. With a bit of luck the engine is free. I remember your stuck piston adventure. Cringe...yeah..that has concerned me. What would you guys do prior to trying to start up an engine thats sat for 12 or more years? Fresh gas in the tank and carb, Marvel Mystery oil down the bore, pop the distributor and use a drill to build up the oil pressure, and hand rotate it through at least a couple revs before using the starter, to make sure you don't already have broken parts in there ready to do damage when it's cranked. -- The blind are not good trailblazers. -- federal judge Frank Easterbrook |
