Got all the parts ordered and working on the motor a little here and there as they come. I'm having to piece together basically the whole motor with ordered parts but it's been a great learning experience so far and cheaper than buying a motor locally. Here's some pictures of a little progress:
Got the powerhead assembled with the intake manifold from the old powerhead since the new one broke in transit.
A lot of crud:
So used a bit of a gasket scraper:
Cleaned right up.
Hope to get this thing running by the end of next week.
I'm also going to convert to a fuel pump and am planning on taping the intake port here with 1/8 NPT since the little hole there measures 11/32" which I think will work for that size tap.
I read this is the best place to do it and works better than capping one of the intake reed valve ports, although some say it works fine.
