Mikes carburetor shop
Adding to Richard's message, Mike's has kits for the variations? in the Carter YF,? good quality.? They also have videos walking through the rebuilt/ repair process.? In? my case, via email? he helped troubleshoot problems.? Which are/were-vacuum leaks in wrong places, like the top piece- the potmetal piece- of the carb.? The other problem- also vacuum- is the main shaft- either excessive shaft wear or the holes/bore is worn.?

I guess my mind is very healthy. I've replaced both quarter panels
on my duster. So far I've gone through 2 gallons of urethane
primer and I just got the third one from Eastwood today. Almost
done blocking it. Then there's all that sanding dust to clean up.
On the Willys
side, I don't think Tinker Toy likes this Washington weather.

received fine thanks. Will pack

terribly slow – often takes several weeks
before NZPost can get space on a plane….

I do regret (sometimes) selling
my 1951, but it didn’t get much use and I
had too many other cars! I bought it on a
whim at an auction in 2010 and sold it on
2019…..most of my other cars are Minis (or
Moke) so that at least the mechanicals are
the same which makes it easier for spares
and tools. The Willys was a real orphan here
in NZ! (it went to Australia after I sold
it).

Fellow Willystech members,
Looking for a few parts for my new wagon project, got a good deal on it:
Actually, this is an exciting "garden art" project; it includes a unique, carefully balanced and engineered? pivoting system consisting of bolts attaching the hood to rusty old plumbing pipe, secured to the ground with a maul.? The pivoting system allows the
covered area to be accessed from above, acting just like a hood. ? Adding a bumper and front fenders would lend authenticity, but would sacrifice the storage area and convenient access.
It appears that the wagon has misaligned eyes.
That's what we do when the leaves are coming down in Oregon.
