The clean carbs have worn throttle shafts.
The dirty ones do too, but much less so. Attached thumbnail(s)

Now it gets interesting. Most obvious things have been unbolted/etc -- the cable in the center of the shroud is the culprit -- it winds through the air diverter gadget bolted to the back of the fan/alternator, underneath the shroud, and ends up bolted to the back of the alternator itself.

Now we unbolt all shroud bolts. Most are visible. There are a coupel that are not. Front edge of the shroud has bolts (most interesting one is behind the dizzy) and there are two that are accessed from under the car on the drivers side, just up from the rear wheel.
Once those are off (and various wires are unhooked) the shroud will lift and can be weasled to the back of the engine. A camera can be shoved under the shroud and a couple of pics will show the diverter and the wires/etc. Attached thumbnail(s)

Now, after disconnecting the fan belt, and unbolting the retaining straps, the unit is movable, and you can see the nuts you have to remove to get at the back of the alternator.

Remove the nuts, and slide the diverter gadget back along the wires, revealing the back of the alternator.

Just a thought.....would it be easier for future jobs to put a wiring disconnect where the harness goes thru the cowling? Of course your will never use it per Murphy's Law, but it would help if if ever needed R&R again.....
BTW....you could prolly sell BOTH sets of Wberes and almost have enuff for a nice purty set of PMOs..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Yeh, I was mumbling about that earier -- as long as the connectors withstand the thrill of being in the engine compartment (which should be doable) -- it would just seem to make sense to make this section of wiring split-able in the middle. (You could pull the shroud without all this fuss if you wanted to ensure the top of the engine was clean and the air pathways good and so forth. You could also R&R the shroud itself (perhaps install a spanky new carbon fiber one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) Just seems to make sense to me. We'll see. First I have to sort out this stupid alternator. I'm sure there's a more modern replacement? Re: PMO's -- they are purty. But if I unload both webers, at least one formerly-running-car has a new issue..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) kim. |
