Question for you engine builders.
Bought a buggy that has a type III engine. Really didn't like the motor that much as the first thing you see is that big fan but I finally got comfortable with it. Anyway, get it home and it's locked up, hasn't run in 10 years (I expected that)
So, trying to tear it down, get the head off of one side and the cylinders are full of dirt, rust, sand, bugs (living and dead) and all sorts of stuff. I've soaked everything with Liquid Wrench and WD40 hoping I can knock the jugs off tomorrow. Any suggestions from you experts on anything else I can try to free these things up?
Also, how do I get the fan off? I've split the housing and it apears I need a puller and the fan is pressed on? Am I on track?
If the crank is free, as I expect it is, I'm planning to put new cylinders and pistons on and convert this thing to a type I. Anything I need to be careful of there? I know I need a generator stand, manifold and different carb. What else?
Thanks, < Tom
