Quick update on that Jubilee I posted about here and here.
I got enough of it cleaned up and put back together to do some
testing.
The starter is bad. Not the end of the world, I had an old one.
I put the other starter in, wired it up enough for the starter and
ignition to work, put my spare carb on it gave it a whirl.
It started instantly.
I cobbled a radiator on it (spare Jubilee radiator had to be put
in the 960 today, but that's another story) enough to hold some
antifreeze in the block and drove it out to the barn until the
weather gets better.
The hydraulics worked perfectly and I didn't notice any unusual
knocks or ticks in the engine. The clutch worked fine, which I
hadn't even thought of until I got on to drive it out.
The throttle linkage doesn't want to move at the bellcrank.
I carefully tapped that loose with a hammer.
Now that I know it will run, I guess I'll have to fix it. :roll:
The saga continues.......
