Who am I to judge? Good Question. These photos are posted here with some reluctance. My own work is far less than perfect in many respects and I hope none of my work ever shows up on a wall of shame anywhere.

Proper wiring won't be this easy to photograph. Dangling wires and more length than necessary will be unreliable. Maybe this one isn't finished yet. The bungee cord battery hold-down and flex hose for the lower radiator connection, plus what we can see of the wiring is not a reassuring picture.
Another missing tool box, but the real problem here is the automotive type START switch and solenoid. No neutral interlock on this one. Has the ignition resistor been wrapped in aluminum foil?
OK, terminal strips are good, but why so many wires? This is anther one I wouldn't want to have to figure out. The tool box is probably not going to fit on this one either.
Some unsecured "stuff" hanging on this one. Plus the in-line fuel filter and rubber hose next to a hot manifold are a fire that just hasn't started yet. If you have problems with rust getting in the carb, adding a fuel filter like this only starves the engine for fuel. Fix or replace the tank is a much better way of dealing with the problem.
This is my new 8N. Missing air tube is bad, loose bracket dragging the plug wires down to the manifold is worse. Don't get me started on that sorry excuse for a fuel line. That's probably enough examples of what NOT to do. You probably got here from my main 12-volt conversion page. Here's a link back 12 Volt |
