A ship of Lada's were stranded in Halifax in the 80's and K Cars with 3 speed manual column shifters in the 70's. But the Volvo plant related "incident" is most interesting: https://jalopnik.com/there-are-still-at-least-24-volvos-submerged-in-a-canad-1649377938

Try a panhead or panwasher style bolts

Correct ?

You are also getting 2 Clevite Rod Bolt Condoms. Let me know if you need a formal ring land cleaning tool? It is a bit clunky. I prefer using the old rings (and my ultrasonic cleaner) Engine Builders Unite!

Yup. PR pliers, ring grinder and piston installing ring clamp thing. I'll also send the anaerobic sealant for the main side bearings.

8.5HP OHV Subaru Engine with Mikuni carb! It was attached to a Baldor Generator (Made in USA). Cool Japanese metal gas tank on top too! Making progress on a new garage in the sticks with no power. Now have some power!

Glad to help! I'll send it out tomorrow. Anything else you need? I'll try to get over the next time I'm in NJ so we can fight over a lunch bill for re-payment. I certainly miss Doyle's Town.

That now makes sense! Great detective work! Of course it it always the fine print that gets you. ?

It just needs the papers in the window! Beautiful.

AJapanese Army Air Force Nakajima Ki-44 Shoki "Tojo" interceptor found by U.S. forces at Oppama airfield in Japan in the immediate aftermath of the war. This one was apparently test flown by the U.S., hence the American markings on it.

Oooohhh

I hate to see my buddy have such a challenge with such cool carbs ? You'll win! Especially if it is electrical!!!!

Yes, they seem a bit carbon-coated. Could it be the ignition going out as a coincidence and causing you to think it is fuel? The tach may tell a story when the problem occurs.

I am tempted.

Great stuff! You need ITB's soon ?

I can send you FW bolts and a new bushing to add to the cause. Just let me know. I have your address ?

You can see carb lines like that in the early engine fsm. I thought they were from a 2000 roadster.

Wow great adventure!

Done

Nope. Even though the chain is quantized, the sprocket tooth change increases the amount of tension on one side of the chain therefore the amount of slack must also increase on the other side. It is a very small amount to measure and will be challenging unless done precisely and accurately. The crank and cam basically must be pinned to do the measurement. The fact they both rotate when moving the sprocket causes the inaccuracy of the measurement. The fact the sprocket has many teeth sharing the pulling makes it further more difficult for some to comprehend. The fact the chain has two parallel runs, also spreads the tension and causes torque. The fact the stretch of the chain may not be uniform is yet another variable. The fact the cam teeth may not all be worn the same amount also complicates things. And of course the group of valve springs loading and unloading the cam as it rotates makes for tension fluctuations as the cam is rotated to take up the slack. If you reduce the complexity to the fundamental, it is clear that moving the sprocket to remove the slack on one side causes more slack on the other. The challenge to measure it empirically requires addressing all of the items in the paragraph above.

Move the sprocket 1 hole tooth on an extremely loose chain to get timing back (so there are now 41 teeth between the default dots rather than 42). Does that moved link now stay on the tight side or the loose side when the engine is running and the crank is at TDC?

OK I give up... it seems we are talking about two different things.

I like the time machine effect of getting into a period correct car. Too bad there are no AM radios any more in most regions. I guess buy a USB to AM transmitter and carry your radio station with you.
