Was cutting a fenceline when I punched my Husqvarna chainsaw into my thigh. 18 stitches (three on the inside)and I was back the next day to finish the job. With Kevlar chaps this time... 4 good lord, glad that wasn't much worse. Sounds like you got lucky! Something clever here.

Can't wait for the restoration thread on that one. I am out of order until further notice. My "stupid people" filter needs cleaning and my "give a damn" batteries have run out.

I noticed it had new hoses, belt and distribitor cap and possibly a new generator. Are you going to leave the 6 volt system in tact or convert to a 12 volt? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.

That had to hurt. I'm worried that's gonna hurt for weeks if not months. The thing about a chainsaw is they don't cut you, they take a notch out of you. Originally Posted by Grizzly_Bill How long did it take you to get it running Dave? I noticed it had new hoses, belt and distribitor cap and possibly a new generator. Are you going to leave the 6 volt system in tact or convert to a 12 volt? We had it sputtering in less than a half an hour and we had it sustaining idle & pulling fuel on it's own in about an hour. We had a little trouble with the cork gasket on the sedement bowl for the fuel pump. It was sucking air past the cork gasket. Me and Nate made a new temporary gasket out of a tire innertube. Nice rubber gasket. I don't know about converting, I need to research that some more. I need to know if the starter can handle the 12 volts and I also need to find out if a 12 volt conversion can still run possitive ground like the original 6 volt system does. my hunch is that all I need is a single wire (internally regulated) alternator and a voltage drop to 6 for feeding the gauges in the dash. But I'm not sure, there's probably more to it. Probably some ignition (distributor related) changes need to be made too? Something clever here.
