I bought a 641 last week that was kinda running. Kinda. The sheet metal was off and it actually ran a little. A little.
This one is going to be fun and I should be done and have it running just in time to start shreading now that we are out from under the drought.
It had a Zenith carb on it that was full of sediment from the rusty tank and the float was stuck open on it.
So far I've cleaned out the tank as best as I can, rebuilt the carb, and put a sediment bowl inline.
So now I have a few questions.
1. What are the proper adjustments for the Zenith?
2. It has 216 plugs in it. Are those the appropriate plugs for it? Will it run the 437's like the 8n any better?
3. Someone disconnected the starter safety switch and put a car ignition switch in it. Anything I need to know about the 641 or is it the same as the 8N? Looks pretty basic.
4. The sheet metal pieces look like they were spot welded originally. I'm thinking I might do that but also run bolts like my 8N's. Were they spot welded or some type of rivet?
