Re: Babbit replacement

Problem is I don't have any old rods or otherwise to melt the babbit out of.

Re: Clutch Plate Bolt question

The flywheel is cast iron, so it is easily stripped if the bolt is over tightened.

If installing a Helicoil or similar insert use the pressure plate for an alignment guide when drilling.

The horn power comes right off the cutout, doesn't go through the fuse unless the engine is off.

Re: How many miles should spark plugs last?

Swap # 4 plug around w/another plug, drive it around for a while then check the plug that is in #4 and also the plug that was previously in #4.

Re: Cleaning the radiator
