Re: DIFF WIDTH COMPARISON

Well just measured mine outside of drum to outside drum is 1425mm so very close to the eK measurements of 1420 so looks like my issue is the rims I have. It's proving hard to track down a set of rims... These ones came from a Ej Wagon but are 6 in rims. But after some reseRch looks like I have one ...

Re: DIFF WIDTH COMPARISON

When you say wheel flange to wheel flange. Exactly what do you mean?

I'm having trouble with tyre touching the guards. Seeing how they are 185's was thinking my rig may have had a diff change at some stage..

Exhaust Question

Took my FB in for a exhaust repair today. The muffler had collapsed and split at both ends. Went to the local place and asked for a replacement. He had a look and said it had a straight through exhaust. He said he would sort something out to get me back on the road. So just picked it up it now has a ...

Re: Can anyone recommend FB paint

Thanks, I'm finding it hard to find a set of rims for my FB. A guy dropped me three off the other day but they are very rusty.

Was going to buy a set of new Rares ones but the hub caps falling off thing puts me off.

But yours turned out great.

Re: Can anyone recommend FB paint

Look really good, can you tell me what the powdercoater charged per rim?

I have a quote locally of around$140 sandblasted and powder coated, which I think is to dear.

Re: Engine Keeps Stoping ideas and help Please

There was definitely no fuel looking down the throat, having said that I could not get it to run for long enough. But a quick stab would give a a squirt and it would keep running . After it would idle and rev up until I could see fuel in the main jet. Plus I did get a big bit of crap come back out ...

Re: Engine Keeps Stoping ideas and help Please

Thanks Craig and Dr terry,

I looked down the throat of the carby. I could not see any fuel coming in anywhere. It would stall unless I gave it a pump and a squirt would come in. So I took apart the top of the carby took out the fuel bowl and there was a lot of junk in there. I didnt have a tool to ...

Engine Keeps Stoping ideas and help Please

Hi,

Having a few troubles with my 138 in my FB. Originally I had a fuel supply problem. Changed the fuel pump, but pretty sure the braided fuel line to the fuel pump was the problem . Replaced with fuel hose and clamps and instantly the fuel bowl filled with fuel and was pumping fuel into a clear ...

I have a workshop manual on the way, but in the mean time can some share a pic of what the bolts and brackets look like to to fit the outside sections of the rear bumper where it wraps around.?

Mine is missing the two round head ...
