Cinnamon 75 Duster \
Got a couple more major pieces of the puzzle ready to go back together. Carburator and transmission are rebuilt and purdied up. :blob:
I've worked on these items before, but first time for me rebuilding them :glasses7:. Carb was pretty simple once I understood the instructions. only problem was they make the kits for multiple applications, so some parts/adjustments were a little confusing. :shock: On the trans, I knew I had leaks, so had gotten an external gasket kit. Did not really know what was involved to change them.. Well once I got the oil pump out and realized there was not much more involved to check the clutches it was game on for a full rebuild.:bball: I ended up checking in with a local shop as to what needed to be done. First place I went was pretty useless, but Jim at A1 treated me like I was his best customer and was a huge help. :prayer: The top disc in the direct clutch was just starting to flake and the other ones looked slightly burnt, so all got changed. Also showed me that there were rubber seals in the clutch assembly, and turned out one of those was shot. He changed those, since I did not have a good way to compress the spring. Also took my radiator down so they could flush the cooler. Other than that I cleaned everything and reassembled. I was hoping to just clean the trans case and maybe clearcoat, but even after wire brushing and steel wooling, it just was not looking very nice. So, I used Rustoleum aluminum primer and aluminum color coat, followed by clear engine enamel. :D
