Starter Issues
All driving of the Jeep was halted last week when it was discovered my starter was sparking and smoking. Upon taking apart the starter it was pretty dirty and had what appeared to be several issues…

Driving the Jeep!
Work has slowed on the Jeep since it’s almost done! The next few updates will be small, since there’s only minimal things left to do on the Jeep. But the awesome news is that I’ve driven the Jeep a full mile and a half now!
Clutch linkage replaced
Work continued at a slow pace this week, not much left to do. Had to wait a few days for the arrival of new parts for the clutch linkage. Those arrived over last weekend, and I went to work replacing the worn items… but it took a LOT of work.
Engine Problems Solved!
Work continued this past week to solve the engine issues, and the issue was mostly found! Still some tune-ups needed, but things are progressing. On Sunday, an attempt to drive the Jeep for the first time was made, only for another issue to arise causing another delay.
Last update for 2 weeks!
Got some things done on the new repro tub such as sanding and drilling holes, but it’s been quite the pain! A new shipment of items arrived, like a new muffler and special filter system for the air bath. I’m taking a break for two weeks for a vacation, so updates will continue once I start back up! Then it’s in super drive mode for the home stretch to finish it by mid-july!
