Re: Details

You guys are great!!!! I went to my first meet today (South Florida Chapter), and like here, I learned more in 1 day than I would ever learn in 10 years on my own.

I figured that the gas tank was not right....and now I am sure that it was a rigged (and it worked) tank. So now I am on the hunt for the right gas tank for the WA3 (K2 motor) that was sold to Western Auto. I also have to figure out how it was painted. I got the dull aluminum part from Louis and the guys at the meet, but the tank had to have something special on it...or the etching for the Wizard brand may have had some color. Meanwhile.....now I know how to get this guy running, and I am sure that I will find the right tank.

More pictures coming...thanks so much for everyone's help.

I love old motors!!!

Re: Details

Based on the pictures you were kind enough to send me last night, I am missing the spring. Otherwise my setup is the same. It makes sense to me because without that spring there would be alot of movement, which may have caused the wear I see on the shaft and pin in the first place.

I am going to lay it out again and compare to your picture in a little while.

Thanks...you have probably saved me alot of trouble.
