It’s embarrassing how long I’ve been troubleshooting a dead cylinder for this to be the problem lol

I don’t just work on engines. Sometimes I get the opportunity to stretch my woodworking legs too. This before and after is pretty cool.

I used the iron gate as the frame for the new wood door. When I first started working on it, the entire door frame and hinge plate dislodged from the brick column. The brick is old and the iron gate is the same age… so I went back with big masonry sleeve anchors and huge lag bolts. In hindsight, I’m glad the hinge plate dislodged because there’s no way it would’ve held the new weight of the gate (iron plus a good bit of wood). The new gate is thick and beefy. I love how it came out! The owner is planning to install antique handles and a latch after staining the wood. I like how it came out and am happy to still be able to do these types of projects!

Who else has been sweating through their shoes lately? This motor stuff gets me all hot and bothered.

The Blue Beauty is fighting me every step of the way… but it’s a worthy cause!

The input shaft is rusted solid so I had to perform a bit of surgery. I tried to keep the moveable face assembly together, but the rust was so bad I didn’t have a choice. It would’ve been unusable even if I was able to save it. Next step, tear down the transaxle so we can get that input shaft replaced. In the end, we’re gonna change this from a chain drive to belt drive thanks to the info I received from !

New video out on YouTube! It’s been a hot minute but I’m back at it! Honda GX670 installed in an old off road golf cart… so much fun. Link in bio!

I’ve messed with some pretty nasty carburetors… but this one takes the cake.
