You betcha!! I’ll be hitting Carlisle the week before too!

Make sure to check that accelerator pump nozzle after you tighten the screws…

Are you running a Holley 94 carb? I had issues backfiring and I found that the accelerator pump nozzle was not being secured by the cluster retainer that bridges the clusters to secure them. It supposed to simultaneously secure the accelerator nozzle. I was drawing un-metered fuel through the...

Thanks B&S! Absolutely will keep everyone posted! I’ve been recording video for my YouTube channel and I’ll be posting my initial startup and road test. Thanks for your and everyone else’s input! Great community here and it took me a looong time for my first post, but I figured if there was any...

Thanks Ronnie! Yes...this is a rewarding one....and seeing all those shiny new valves lined up is nice. It's a very nice complete kit and I'm very pleased with the results!

Well, progress fellas! Don't know how taboo it is to post links to other forum threads. I don't have an image hosting account, nor do I wish to have one. But, I've posted pics in my thread at the HAMB if anyone is interested. All seats ground to center valve with guides and seats. Everything...

Re: Pilot “Bearing” Or “Bushing” Which Do You Prefer? It seems like an evenly mixed bag. There’s a bronze bushing in mine now, but I did order a few of the 6203-2rs… we’ll see when I get to that point. I’ll measure it and see how worn it is compared to input shaft size….

Re: Pilot “Bearing” Or “Bushing” Which Do You Prefer? Oooo….a needle pilot…. Hmmm

Re: Pilot “Bearing” Or “Bushing” Which Do You Prefer? That one I don’t know….

Re: Pilot “Bearing” Or “Bushing” Which Do You Prefer? Hey Ken! The bearings I’ve ordered are the 6203-2RS as Mart stated above. I ordered a few because they’re very inexpensive…

Pilot “Bearing” Or “Bushing” Which Do You Prefer? Was just wondering which you guys prefer, the clutch pilot bearing, or the bronze pilot bushing?

If I really start running into issues, I will definitely give this guy a call. Thanks for the contact info....

I'll probably have to knurl the guides and I'll make a mandrel at work. I've got a line on and old school seat tool and I'll cut them myself. I am a machinist so I'm fairly sure I can figure this out. I really do appreciate everyone's input and concern and I'll keep everyone updated on...

I'll have to cancel my order from Red's first. Vanpelt has the kit and it's even less expensive. I'll figure my path forward once I call Red's on Monday.... I was hoping to start reassembly by the end of next week, but it looks like that's wishful thinking....

Engine is out and I’ll continue with disassembly. Some parts have started to arrive, but I fear I may be waiting on my valve kit. I ordered it from Reds on Friday and it says the sale is still “pending” and my account hasn’t been charged yet. That usually means backorder, although it doesn’t say...
