Yeah that video isn't very good. The noise is pretty load when your right here beside it. I can feel a little guide wear by moving the valve but not real bad. Going to clean it all up as good as i can and put a new spring in and see what happens. It was sitting for 40+ years so I'm not surprised...

.012" clearance on the valve. Removed the valve spring, it looks good. Probably put a new spring back in just because. After spring was out, valve spun and went up and down free. Tappet moved free. Really didn't find any smoken guns! Took the side cover off the timing gear and it looked and...

I've ran it in the gas sense start up but not in the oil.

Weak spring is something I thought of also. Specially after I would put a little pressure on the top of valve and noise would stop.

Yeah its a little hard to hear in the video, but it's a pretty load snapping sound each time that intake valve starts to rotate and rise. First couple revolution of cranking it didn't make any noise until i picked up some speed cranking. Tomorrow Ill check the gap. Thanks

Here's a short video. If it works! It would be the valve right in front of the distributor. https://photos.app.goo.gl/VEfpaUu2vwAiLFHj6

Thanks for the info. I kinda thought the valve would rotate also for seat wear. But I really couldn't see any of the valves rotate while turning engine over. You could see them maybe try but they moved very little.

Noise does not seem to change when shorting out that cylinder. Haven't checked the gap yet. If i put a little pressure down on top of valve while hand cranking it over the noise goes away.

Have a 28 AA that I just got back running after around 40 years of sitting. Ran when parked, just got parked and forgot about! Been in family for 70+ years. So once I got it running it ran pretty good, ran it it shop multiple times with good results. After maybe 2-3 hours of run time I have...

Here ya go gents, enjoy.

Copy that, I'll get one ordered. Thanks

When i get a copy of it I'll try to scan it and post a copy of it here.

No kidding, Learn something new everyday. Thanks

Was really hoping somebody was going to have a copy of this article. Well anyways for guys that have rebuilt the F-1B carb where do you set the float at?

Yes I believe it is. Ron posted pictures a few years back but not good enough pics to read. Was wondering if anybody had a copy of the article. I think it was 3-4 pages long. Is Ron around this forum any more?
