Re: K 241 running badly
Thanks for the input Dave, here's what's new at this point. Bad fuel has never been my issue, I run only non ethanol and it smelled fresh. I changed out the carburetor with another one. It started right up and seemed to run well but that's been said before. With the driveway all cleaned up I'm fresh...

Re: K 241 running badly
I'm embarrassed to report after all this how badly this thing is still running. The symptoms are more or less the same. It runs Ok for a half hour or so and then the power loss comes and rough running comes back. This most recent carburetor I installed has the bad habit of pouring fuel from out the ...

Re: Winter Snow and Storm Pics
Not the left coast but this is being a pretty good one. Supposed to taper off in about four hours. DSCN0710.JPG Too much for a blade really the thrower is the way to go. I'm sure the blade will come in handy later for mop up work. DSCN0701.JPG Our parking is somewhat narrow and removal can become an...

Re: K 241 running badly
Update. The problem returned. Other than installing a nice, fresh carb it would seem I had achieved nothing at all. Everything seemed just fine until yesterday when I was pushing snow banks back because that's what I do in March when another storm is coming. The issue returned with loss of power and...

Re: K 241 running badly
Dave, regarding that thick composition gasket perhaps the older ones were a cardboard substrate, I really don't know. But a new one will be two regular thin gaskets sandwiched on to a center plastic insert. The whole thing will be just about 1/8" thick. They were called out as for use with the quiet...

Re: K 241 running badly
My bad Dave. Over tightening will create flange warpage issues but not tight enough will cause problems of it's own. Swapping out was the way to go. This old core cleaned up real nice but the seals were quite dried out. Throttle shaft is silky smooth too, seems to me I recall making an oversize one ...

K 241 running badly
The throttle response on my 102 began acting up last Summer. The engine had twelve years on a complete rebuild. It would only get worse as the engine got hotter, usually after a half hour or so. My thinking at the time was a valve sticking. After this last snow cleanup it really began to run terribl...

Re: Winter Snow and Storm Pics
That was a good one. Ten more heading our way Wednesday. Power was out about 23 hours, that pole snapped in half from the strain.
I took this shot right after the power went out. Look at the trees. The deck looks clean but it had been shoveled off 3 times by then.

Re: Winter Snow and Storm Pics
What we have here is a real New England snow storm. I have plenty of shots with the driveway but very few of the road. Time to put the Johnson wool coat and mittens on, grab the walking poles and go. North I shall head. This one is another thick snow and there were branches coming down all around me...

Re: Winter Snow and Storm Pics
Tom, that snow never fell out of the trees, it looks exactly the same as two days ago, maybe it's even icier. No power interruptions so far but honestly I can't recall anything like this before. The temp got up to 32 yesterday and then dropped without any wind whatsoever so that snow is stuck on goo...

Re: Winter Snow and Storm Pics
DSCN0606.JPG This is definitely some real high moisture content stuff coming down. When it finally does quit I'm not even bothering with the QA42, it's too pasty. The trees are very much into the power lines and one branch snapping will shut the service down, Temp holding at 30 degrees but if the w...

Re: Ham and CB chatter
I answered my own question. What do I do now. Wait for it to burn out, that's what. After a time the smell of varnish was in the air. That's never good. Turns out the audio output transformer burned out. Too much voltage on the primary side. Enough of that and I sent it off to my restoration expert ...

Re: Winter Snow and Storm Pics
Our first real snow storm was dense and heavy with moisture.
We lost electric for about 18 hours.
The QA 42 as having issues throwing this stuff and it jammed up several times. This was a difficult snow to push as well.

Re: Winter Snow and Storm Pics
Here we go now. I learned a long time ago to get those machines away from the house, when all the snow lets go on a steel roof your gonna be digging for a long time.
Really thick heavy stuff.

I put this unit up on the bench today. The first thing that I noticed was every single tube had been replaced.

Re: Cub 70 clutch teaser spring, broke again
Charlie, a new teaser spring in it's totally relaxed state will measure around .475 across. In it's totally compressed state it will measure around .325. You will note in my sketch I allowed around .030 shy of complete crush, this is reflected by the .360- .350 dimension. Keep in mind that when stac...

Thank you Mike. But it's all right. Like Tom mentioned they can still be had. I just had to pony up some more for them that's all- I ordered three.
