Just checking in. Remember Walter? 1961 white bought for US$80 and rebuilt for US$500...?
Well, it runs good enough to take me to work, but still has some problems I want to share....
-4th gear pops out. every time. under power. coasting is fine. Tried adjusting the linkage, no improovement. New tranny, I guess...
-Steering got sloppy all of a sudden. I had to really move the adjustment screw on the steering box to get it drivable. When moving the steering wheel, the arm of the box moves up and down as it rotates. Shot? Adjustable?
-Engine vibrates in some RPM spot. Fixes itself reving past that point.... its around 70K/h in fourth gear. Past that and it quiets. Generator? (its a built from parts of several generator. CHarges great, though..)
-Brakes need work again. Is it normal for brakes to need an adjustment
100 miles after assembly?The good parts: engine has not consumed or leaked a drop of oil. And its very frugal on gas. I am still running on the same half tank I put in the first time I got out on the streen a month ago and I've already got to work 3 times in it :)
Sorry for the long post... Any ideas for the problem areas welcome.
PS. Its for sale for US$500. I need a larger car :(
