WV, I know you have not started yours yet but I can tell you. When everything is right, these things start right up. The only pressing issue right now is the antifreeze leak coming from behind the water pump. I am a bit embarrassed by this leak. When I took the engine apart I did not realize that part of the engine came off. I took off the water pump but not the piece behind it. I had the gasket for it put I could not figure out where it went. I wish those kits came with a diagram of their location. Of course, if I were to do another it would be in half the time and I know where everything would go.
If you have already tried penetrating fluid on it, then your next move would be some carefully directed heat on the offending bolts. Smokin hot then try to pry it loose. More heat, then try some more. It's worked for me hundreds of times. Heat breaks down the rust and also expands the two metals making it easier to remove. Have you tried PB blaster before. Good stuff.I have the housing loose on the spark plug side of the engine. Its the other side that simply will not give. I need suggestions. I believe its rusted around the two studs and won't break free. Is heating it my next move?
My next question is not time sensitive but I can't figure out. Where does the small spring on the governor attach to once I get this back together. Its dangling in the pic.
I don't know what PB blaster is. Can you expand.
