Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

Re-adjusted the float but it was COLD yesterday so I'll run it later.

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

Cleaned the carbs out and now I have a little venturi dribble on the driver's side carb, will re-adjust float level a smidge.

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

I ordered the gaskets I need from Clark's, along with 2 new black 1/4 door panels for the rear seats. (Stimulus!!) The passenger side panel is ripped as it bowed out a bit and the folding seat hardware caught it and tore it a bit. I'll glue the chrome strips to these as the PO dyed the red panels bl...

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

I didn't replace my filter stones and I also didn't make sure all lower idle circuit passages were clear of the gook that had clogged my idle siphon tubes so the surge seems to be creeping back. FLAPS has the filter stones so I'll get them locally and I'll grab some more carb top and base gaskets fr...

Re: New to Corvairs in OR.

Fuel filter in rear wheel well area is actually inside of the rear area between the wheel wells. Pretty well protected there and inside the engine compartment is a no-no. You may have found that rubber hose transition point between body fuel line from the front and the fuel line that enters the engi...

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

I had just adjusted mine and felt additional slop. I was separating at the join between the cable and the rod. If there is too much free play, it will sag more.

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

Had a closer look at where the clutch end of the new cable was striking the rear of the heat/defrost diverter. Decided I'm going to Dremel a little bit of the bracket holding the heim joint about 1/8 inch deep about 1/2 inch long on both sides and it will no longer hit the diverter. It barely touche...

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

I installed the "clevis?" end that attaches to the pivot assembly of the clutch pedal correctly. But, after installing the heat/defrost diverter assembly, either the "Clevis" or the Heim joint that is attached to the cable is striking the back of the assembly slightly, making som...

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

I did realize I installed the clutch pedal end of the new cable slightly wrong. Easy to correct, however.

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

Yesterday, Roger's pulley and clutch cable went in. I may need to adjust the clutch 1 more turn but I'll decide after a couple trips. Also took the opportunity to move the parking light wire in the headlight switch plug so they stay on when headlamps are on. Cleaned corrosion off headlamp switch pin...

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

I put my 65 up on 4 jackstands last weekend and pulled the tunnel pan. It's clear the cable is pulling out of the steel rod portion of the clutch actuator. Thankfully didn't part while I was out. Roger's pulley and cable on order. He's popular so it'll likely be this weekend before he can fabricate ...

Re: Been busy

Agree, move the spring first, if you want to keep it stock. I went with a Facet pump up front with a Clark's dummy fuel pump replacement. Never going back. Looks stock too.

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

Very sexy. I took it out yesterday and runs great, but I do need to still re-jet a bit. I also may be about to lose my clutch cable, feels like it's stretching as I just adjusted it recently and it feels like it's got excessive free play again. Will need to inspect to certainty, but have inquired in...

Re: 1965 Corsa clone, but a sweeeeeet one

The heater cable clamp came loose at the passenger compartment end of the cable for the second time, so no heat. :( I did some surgery to it adjusting the cable so it closes completely when pulled up and then epoxied the clamp back on along with crimping it back on. Let it cure for 3 days before re-...
