Re: 1985 Glastron X-19 Complete Restore
Thanks for the questions guys,
I see how it is, as people get done . . . . They're going to turn to my thread for entertainment.
Still thinking. Every day or two, I stop and look it over for a few minutes on my way to or from work. The next 7 days belong to Uncle Sam, and then most of my bank account! This year I didn't actually procrastinate. I've just been too darn busy. Haven't actually done the figuring yet, but I'll bet it'll be around 8-9k.
I really want to play with the motor some more and changes are not out of the question. As I discovered last time, no fire at the plugs, and weak fire at the coil. Points and wires aren't very expensive, and a cap,coil, and plugs should get me warmed up. I bought a primer bulb to use with a gas can the other day. Could be that a little run may break the rings loose, OR break the rings.
Had to get a new o-ring for my compression gauge fitting, so it's ready for a leak-down test.
Main problem is time. With summer coming on, The yard work is going to take some of my time too. I only have 3 acres to mow. If nothing else, maybe I'll get this started and take a lot of dusty pics every week or two.
Thanks again for the curiosity, Maybe I'll take pics of the lathe we're starting to build at work. 1500kw 480v motor turning a high flow 2800psi hyd pump, turning a 250HP high torque/low speed hyd vane motor. The design is supposed to turn 12' diameter steel. (yep that is 12 foot stock) My boss comes up with some wild ideas.
