That’s an interesting looking ride and I’ve never seen one like it. Having lived in the northeast I have seen a Homelite snowmobile but never anything like this.You are very talented and I’ll be sure to watch this one.
Thank You for posting and documenting your work.

Turned out a spacer for rear drive sprocket . We are on wheels now

The unique thing about this frame . Is the frame pivots just in front of engine. I added mini shocks to stop the pogoing

Wow an awesome build.

Can't wait to see it back from the Powder Coater!

 

[Fourtogo]

Kinda concern now after calling coater for a check up . Telling me the coating got darker over sections I welded . Don’t understand that welded heck out my HeathKit frame it came out beautiful. I guess using this shop might be a first and last time . Oh and price seemed a bit high .

There’s a Homlite in there someplace , I didn’t really open up ports on the Tecumseh HS50 . Just clean up casting flashings and restriction areas , need decarbon degrease hone block . Gaskets match up nice too ports waiting on crank seals now . Will start assembling the frame after painting rear wheel , have done rear center hub already .

Tecumseh engine did some work on it ,. Remove governor arm , tapped and plugged that . Lapped valves ball hone cylinder << very little wear on cylinder. Removed Tecumseh compression release bump . Used thread cleaner tap << don’t use a regular tap for threads . Lots acetone brake clean soap and water . Wire wheeled all exterior bolts . Taped off block and sidehousing and head . Don’t fan of just painting entire engine bolts and all . I all sprayed the tins with hammer/write silver paint
