Lonny,

Nice job on the decarbonizing. But to get a handle on the bore condition, you really need to measure it at 3 different locations in the ring travel area relative to the deck height with your telescope gauge. First measure with the gauge lined up with the crankshaft axis. Then rotate the gauge 90 degrees (perpendicular to the crank axis)and measure at the same approximate locations again. This indicates how out-of-round the bore may be. If possible, use a micrometer to measure the telescope gauge instead of calipers...more accurate. You need accuracy down to .0005 if possible.

I'd say that if it's using oil and continually blowing blue smoke, the bore's in need of reconditioning, that is boring to the next oversize.

About 4:30 I asked a qustion about wiring on a 147 Cub Cadet, I do not see it , Did I break some rule or somthing? I really need a wiring Dig. for my 147, all the wires burned up and I want to make sure they go back in the right place.
Thanks for any help

I got the same reading at the top of the ring travel as I did half way down the cylinder, and it did not change when I measured across the crank.

I picked up a new set of calipers today, they will read to 0.001, not as accurate as 0.0005 I know, but I hope to get a more accurate reading them with them than the other one that only read to 0.01

Thank you very much, I was just having problems finging a link to the FAQ from the fourm pages, and that is way I asked for the link, I did not think to go back to the home page, sorry for asking a FAQ

Noper, no they didn't.

Brian B.
Not a problem askin any questions.

Brian - Look up! The FAQ link is right here too!

Glen - I start with the sheet metal then go for the oil pan to get that mess over with so it doesn't leak out later. Then the carb , head , flywheel ... just depends on how far you're going with it.

Mr weaver, I am sure that it is somthing wrong with my system but when I clicked on the link above I went to this URL https://www.ihcubcadet.com/IHCCFAQ/
and I did not find any wiring Dig. there
But the URL that Mr. Proctor gave me: http://cubfaq.com/questions.html
Gave me what I needed, thanks again Mr. Proctor for your help
