Great to here that you got her running, i had mine run but had issues making power and getting the motor to hold rpm. What happened with mine was the points in the distributor were rusted and it was not advancing properly and I had to rebuild the distributor. After that she runs strong starts easy a...

Hey Brett My crawler was very well used and the blade took a lot of that use. There is damage to the uprights, mostly were they are connected to the cross bars on the crawler, as well the hinge points and the rear anchor points have received a lot of repair. She was and is a work horse but she could...

Thanks for the help guys, she is running great now. I broke my timing light, so i still need to set the timing but she is running great. I can start in 4th gear, little clutching but she's running great. I got some other stuff working better as well. I went through it all with this one, carb rebuild...

I'm gonna have to get another fuel bowl and then go from there, i got it off and it looked bad but...

Okay finally got a shot at the carb today, i took it all apart cleaned it, resurfaced the lower half to clean off the gasket. I put it all together, got it back on the crawler.

Problem with throttle
My 420 runs good but, when i pull down on the throttle the motor revs up a bit but then stumbles and the rpm drops down or it stutters.

Here's a site i've looked at a few times, i haven't bought anything from them but some of there weapons are pretty cool, if they still had stock i could sell my truck and buy the m2, they have m1 garand parts including recievers. I really like the ar15 carbines but equally hard to get the restricted...
