Nathan's 520 carb

This one belongs to Nathan, who also owns the one that had the tutorial made on the 520 fuse block install a few weeks ago. He has a few of them, he is a 520 man. This one is getting a new carb, the old carb rebuilt for a spare, and a few other things.

It's been here a week or so waiting for the madness to slow down but she finally got in the operating room this afternoon lol.

Muffler + heat shield is blasted, carb is apart and ready for the ultrasonic cleaner, intake is cleaned and milled, topside of engine is cleaned up and ready.

Carb is cleaned, milled and rebuilt.

wow now thats clean................................................

New carb is here and she is running.

I think all that's left is some blades, deck wheels, and an axle seal.

Looks nice.....and speaking of axle seals mine still leaks even after putting in another seal......maybe the axle is worn......i just dont know for sure.................

They can be temperamental sometimes lol. The axle shaft has to be really clean, I use 80 then 180 grit emery cloth, you have to knock the sharp edges off of the key slot, then some grease on the seal making sure to spin it a little when going over the key slot so it doesn't make a cut in it.

We are putting ag tires all around this gal so I've been out doing a little prep work. Tires will be here in the morning.

Well I guess I forgot to mention the wheels were getting blasted and painted, hence the prep work lol.

All done and on the drying rack, just in time for supper.
