New Cub, some questions?
Posted: Sun Apr 04, 2004 11:21 pm
Just got a 1951 Cub. Has touch control, front blade. All the important parts seem to bee there. Since this is new to me I have a couple of questions.
1. Smokes, but I knew that when I got it. White smoke out the exhaust, some smoke out of the oil filler. Oil is dirty but doesn't look like there is any water or anti freeze in it.
2. Looks like the float is stuck since I get gas leaking out of carb (?) when choking it to start. Carb overhaul?
3. Right brake is iffy, tough to replace?
4 Looks like the area under the battery has been eaten through, can the entire deck be replaced or do I just weld on a patch.
5.. I want to drive this Cub for a while ( I have some other projects I need to get done) then tear it down and rebuild it.
6. My intention now is to fix the carb, live with the brake, change the plugs, new rotor, dist. cap, points, etc. Anything else I should do?
Sorry about the questions, I'm a newbie.
