I then cleaned the thermostat housing in the blast cabinet. Everything got primed and painted.

Re: My naked MAINE-WING build.
Yes Sir! Works slick, shop vac sucks out the center of the white bucket lid. Dust comes out of cabinet into the side of the white bucket, it comes in at an angle so it spins around the inside of the white one and at it slows down it falls to the bottom of the red bucket. After a couple hours of blasting, the red bucket has about a pint of grit and dust, Shop vac only gets the filter a little dusty.5speed wrote:looks good.

Re: My naked MAINE-WING build.

Nice! Love the dust system... When I bought my '81 last fall, it ran pretty crappy. Gave the throttle a good twist, and she started firing acorns out of the exhaust, lol! Dang varmints!

Re: My naked MAINE-WING build.
I'm very, very close to pulling this motor for a clean and paint.
Anybody want to talk me out of it?

Re: My naked MAINE-WING build.
I flushed the radiator with hot water.
I sprayed the hot water through the fins on the radiator, lots of nasty crap and dead bugs came out.
When I thought I had it all cleaned out, I laid it on a cardboard box and sprayed compressed air through the fins. More dirt came out, I can't imagine how much better this thing will cool the engine after all that stuff wedged in there.
