    I love seeing you make these engines better than new and then listen to them purr. The rain segments are nice too.

    A restauração ficou excelente, vi uns pingos de gasolina próximo ao tanque, pode ser da mangueira...

      I think you are referring to the air filter, that is a oil bath airfilter.

    Your work looks beautiful but you must learn to torque the head gasket and rod bolts to the proper torque specs also do not plate the main jet or a pilot jet it changes the metering of the fuel. You will also have a much longer-lived engine if you hone the cylinder to restore the cross hatching and replace the rings being careful to measure the ring end gap.

    I am sure you've previously stated what you used as the pickling acid, but I haven't seen it. So what is the pickling acid? Something easily obtained locally? ANd the end results of the hardware is amazing too. An old Clinton engine rebuild was perfect. I haven't seen one in decades now...

    • @ShainAndrews
      @ShainAndrews Рік тому

      My bet is hydrochoric acid. Fine for the tinker... No good for industrial. Well unless an industry is fine with erosion and embrittlement.

    • @AJRestoration
      @AJRestoration  Рік тому

      The kit never stated what acid it is, I think its hydrochloric acid but I am not sure. Thank you for the compliment!

    Excelent job guy but,maybe, you have made a mistake during set point gap:you used a 0,2 mm gauge while on the point cover is stamped .020 that are thousandths of an inch,equivalent to 0,5 mm.

    Your meticulous craftsmanship is beyond reproach but your sense of color is sub par. Those Clinton engineers and designers had a far better sense of color than you do. I don't understand why after going through the process of restoring every single component and fastener, you "veer off" and change the color scheme to a garish inappropriate mode that emphasizes every single blemish in each of the castings. Next time please follow through on the restoration and finish the machine as its designers and engineers intended. in period correct colors.

    • @AJRestoration
      @AJRestoration  Рік тому +1

      Thank you for the compliment, I want to add to the comment on the choice of color. To match the color of the engine to the original is extremely hard to do, especially with powder coating. With that said its my little engine, I can make it pink if I wanted to. I think the silver came out great.

    Good video! However, once you remove the main nozzle, it's nearly impossible to line the passage holes ligned up again
    The replacement nozzles are very hard to find. The threaded part is cut in half to allow fuel to pass through, regardless of it's position when installed. If you found a way around this, please share .
    Thanks, George.

      I just put it back the way I took it out and everything works great. Not too sure what you are talking about?

      @@AJRestoration It certainly was not meant to rude. If you look in the "Clinton manual " it addresses the removal of the nozzles in the walbro carburetor. The original were drilled with the nozzle in place. The chances of removing it , & getting back in place are slim to none. Nevertheless you did it & it worked.
      Good luck with future projects.
      Is it a LMG 117 walbro carburetor?
      Thanks, George.
