3rd Port / Reed Cage Ports
Frank,
I noticed the exact same thing on my FD67. Seeing I have to replace my reed blocks I was planning on port matching the reed blocks and the crank case ports. Thus, I'd be real interested in the forum's response to Frank's question as well. I am planning on using the larger reed cages when I rebuild the motor. I'm assuming this should assist, rather than hinder, the air/fuel charge into the motor. Please advise if you think I should rebuild using the original small size reed cages.
Is there a reason why the locating pin was not used?
Regards,
Roger H.
Dyno cards for your Loopers?
Frank and Roger,
Keep up the positive attitudes while restoring your precious Loopers. I get calls all the time from people that are following the restoration thread on both of your restoration Looper projects with great interest.
I hope to sometime in the near future go back through the Quincy Welding dyno cards and look for the ones on your particular motors. Frank, I know I've seen 2 or 3 cards with Phil Crown's name on them. When I find matches, I will scan and post them here. You already have history on your Loopers but the dyno cards are absolute confirming documents.
A while back, in a senior moment, I almost sold the entire collection of Quincy Welding dyno cards to a guy that I have since found to be, how shall we say, ethically challenged. I am so glad that I recovered my senses in time - it must have been divine intervention. Can you imagine where we would all be right now without such a great source (along with the serial number book) to verify and document engines with?
thanks,
Paul A Christner
