 Topic: first weekend with my new WC
Posted: 06 Jun 2010 at 9:49pm |
ok so I got that WC I said about before to the shop....it was locked TIGHT....got it busted loose with some brake fluid, ATF, 2 pipe wrenches, a floor jack, and some grunting....new oil(changed twice), went over everything and stole the carb/fuel line/sediment bowl from the 45 since its down for paint and a jump and I had it running the night I brought it home....about 3 hours time.....here are pics the next day with it at our local spring antique show.

The reason I look kinda pissy in the first pic and Im hiding in the last is because I was pulling the sediment bowl out of the tank....plugged tight on me AGAIN....lots of rust in the tank and I even sloshed with stones and repeatedly rinsed it out.....gotta work on that.

Nice looking WC, Benny. Nice work getting it running so quickly. It may take a while to get all that rust out of the gas tank. Good thing your sed bowl is catching it vs letting it get to the carb!
Speaking of carbs...... I wonder if the dyno result has to do with the carb you borrowed from the WD45 - based on my parts books it's a different (likely larger jets) model.

I knew it was quite a bit bigger but figured since the factory carb was pretty well junk from water I bolted it on....and it works perfectly so Im letting it on there and rebuilding the other one I have for the WD45

well guys here is the video of the WC's first pull....I think it did great, especially for the shape it was in the night before.

The track wasnt all too great...really sticky....had to run the right side because it was packed the best and I was still pushing dirt with the plate on the sled.....

a question for anyone that watches my video.....does it sound like that WC is turning high enough RPM's or not? I had the local guy that sold AC's since he was a young man(he's 80 now) and he thinks it was fine....it was wide open coming off the line and down the track.
