Nathan's 520 carb was created by Geno
This one belongs to Nathan, who also owns the one that had the tutorial made on the 520 fuse block install a few weeks ago. He has a few of them, he is a 520 man. This one is getting a new carb, the old carb rebuilt for a spare, and a few other things. :thumb1

It's been here a week or so waiting for the madness to slow down but she finally got in the operating room this afternoon lol. :tounge2

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

New carb is here and she is running. :woo

I think all that's left is some blades, deck wheels, and an axle seal. :thumb1

They can be temperamental sometimes lol. The axle shaft has to be really clean, I use 80 then 180 grit emery cloth, you have to knock the sharp edges off of the key slot, then some grease on the seal making sure to spin it a little when going over the key slot so it doesn't make a cut in it.

We are putting ag tires all around this gal so I've been out doing a little prep work. Tires will be here in the morning. :thumb1

Well I guess I forgot to mention the wheels were getting blasted and painted, hence the prep work lol. :tounge2

All done and on the drying rack, just in time for supper. :thumb1
