Re: 74 bus "playmate"
Well ran her down to reynolds and she didn't do well; all and all 12 hours there from Dallas and back, she kept over heating, come to find out the #3 jet on the carb was all but missing, and taking on air and all the "O" rings on the jets are non existent, and not to mention the oil leak I have that I dont know where from, so I took the day off yesterday and yanked the motor for the first time and found the #3 cyl head was the culpret by the discoloration on the head, but the piston, valves all look good so I think I'm gonna get a gasket kit to seal the oil leak, reseal the head, and get some "O" rings for the carbs and slap it back in and see what happens

Re: 74 bus "playmate"
yeah it did't come out right, i got lazy and did'nt take the bolts out on the front, its a tape that supposed to be on there, I don't like i either but it was panted over and the paint has started to come off and looked like shit, so I put that on there til I can get em chromed, but know the engine is out and in need of a build so its on the back burner now

Re: 74 bus "playmate"
Well we got the frame notched for the axles, and tried to take two clicks and use the horse shoes but the trailing arm is all up in the frame, even if I take the plates out and just click it, the arm is right there at the frame, so got to do another arch, or stay on the porch with the ass up in the air,

Caveman came out of the woods to help me get her tuned and the carbs balanced and was able to take it and break in the rings on the new motor and got to deliver all Tims stuff back, since i got something to put them in!

Re: 74 bus "playmate"
thanks dude, maybe we can get Drew out the bed and shoot her up soon, I washed it and drove it a bit today working out some of the bugs, like I didn't tighten the batteries all the way and its funny about not charging them that way but luckly the new motor starts on just a bump

Re: 74 bus "playmate"
Been working on the stance and have taken the rear apart and put back together 4 times, first with just the plates, then with the plates and the trailing arm in stock position, then with two clicks, it sat right but something wasn't right so I finally listened to doodle bug and put some old bug shocks I had on it and and it dropped 3 inches more in the back and the oil pan was on the ground so back apart and put the torsion arm back to stock position with the plates and the bug shocks and it feels right
