I put on a different generator. The pulley on the generator is farther away from the body. I attached a picture of the latest installation. It is better but not perfect. Thanks for all the help and tips. I’m trying to figure out how to post a picture.

I was able to remove the fan by using a small wheel puller with three arms. I took the key out and spun the fan and found some places that needed to be filed. I am going to try a dry fit to see if the pulleys are lined up. I am hoping that the taper in the fan is a correct match for the shaft. I...

Hi, I took the water pump off the car. I have been trying to get the fan separated from the pump. I must have really messed up in the installation. I have been using the fan knock off tool to no avail. I ave been taking the water pump with the installed knock off nut and hitting the nut on the...

Hi, I purchased a new water pump with a two blade fan. My old ware pump was leaking and I thought I should replace it. After installing the pump, the pulley does not line up with the generator. Is there something I might have done to make the misalignment? Thanks for your ideas.

Hi Again, I did as you recommended and changed the condenser from a Ford dealership nearby. I put some more gas in the tank. Put the battery charger on on trickle for a few days. Went out today and it fired right up with no hesitation. I am going for a cruise in the neighborhood later today...

Here’s the latest. I removed the two filters on the fuel line. Tried to start it, no luck. I took off the top of the carb and noticed that the float was in a downward position. The tab on the float was bent down. It wouldn’t go up or down. I guess my mechanic rebuilding the carb was a little...
