</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok, we're good to go there!! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I knew my run of project successes was too good to
be true. The engine is the last of the long list. I think we're
close....(wishful thinking.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While I was able to drill the jet out and re-tap
it, the new jet just doesn't seat quite right. I'll be spending the $$ for a new
carb I guess.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On another engine matter: the exhaust pipe is
horribly rusted at the manifold on #499. I pulled off all the asbestos and got a
good look, using a mirror and craming as much of myself behind the engine as
possible. I can't see the flange on the manifold, or the bolts and nuts, or
anything. Its rusted. Assuming I need to put on a new manifold, how do I take
the old one off?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do I cut the exhaust pipe at the elbow, then unbolt
the manifold? If I cut the pipe, does it unscrew from exhaust riser (I think
thats what its called)? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where does the manifold bolt to the engine? Top
down only? Or are there bolts on the side?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks:</FONT></DIV>
