I'm confused. I just saw Randall's previous video where he tested the passive oil filtration system. When the oil is cold, there is a fair amount of oil going through the filter, which looks fine to me, but when the oil is up to temperature, hardly any oil is going through the passive oil filter...

I'm looking for used 21 inch white walls. If any of you barners is going to buy new white walls, I would be happy to buy the old white walls from you. I accept any condition e.g. slightly cracked, no tread or just dirty. Try me ....

I guess, they call us "rednecks" down here in SW Florida :D

First I prepared a chisel but found it too heavy and unwieldy. Then I took a punch and ground a groove with the angle grinder and beveled the sides. With a little patience and a hundred hammer blows further, I found the result quite satisfactory.

Thank you Bob and McGarret. Sometimes it pays to take a little extra time to make it look right. My only intention was to preserve the original brass lever. The original shaft was badly bend and had to be replaced. I also insert bushings and it sure feels good to see that it's properly working...

I was about to solder it but wanted it to look like the original. I prepared a small chisel and the result was pretty close to the original.

Looks like I misssed it completely. Thanks Bob for the hint ...

Hello Barners. I'm in the process of rebuilding my original Zenith. What is the best procedure to attach a new throttle shaft to the original lever without damaging or bending the new shaft? Has someone done this before? Is hard soldering an alternative? Any advice might be helpful ... Many...

What does the cotter pin at the bottom hole actually do? I have it on my A engine as well and have seen it on other engines too. Couldn't find an answer in "Model A for dummies" ...

I wonder, if someone ever cut an oil filter open to see if the oil pressure is enough to use the whole filter or if the filter is only used at the lower portion because of the lack of proper oil pressure ... ndnchf: Your filter looks kinda cute, while the original that comes with the kit look...

Btt

Carb./Brake cleaner is very aggressive and can damage the paint. I use regular paint thinner (not lacquer thinner) and a paint brush. It's way less aggressive and does the job. Old cars need some time. I only use a pressure washer or aggressive cleaning agents for extremely stubborn dirt.

I'm curious as well. Why would one poke holes into the membrane of the oil filter?

@ Rob Doe. Thanks for the advice. I checked the Air adjustment screw by marking the tip with a black marker and it seems that it's the correct size and fit. I will check the throttle plate and will replace it anyway when I insert the bushings. Thanks for the explanation of the set up of your...

Just don't trust people who leave phone numbers or email addresses to contact. I would at least make sure that he is a legit member of the barn ...
