Homemade exhaust pipe tap
I thought Snow White's exhaust manifold was stripped out because the pipe was loose, just sitting in there.
Couldn't see it very well with the hood on, Sooooooo..........
I pulled the hood off [I know - don't do it ]
and found out that a previous pipe must have been rusted in there and when the previous owner removed it, they didn't get it all out of the threads.
Don't have a pipe tap for that size [yet] so I made one up real quick from a piece of 1" pipe.
Chased the threads, and the exhaust pipe screws in just fine now.

The hood off presents a scenerio similar to Lays potato chip comercials.

Re: Homemade exhaust pipe tap
Well, the hood went on rather quickly ...but not till after:
-cleaned breather tube
-oiled generator
-new sediment bowl screen and gasket
-adjusted both belts
-checked wiring hookups behind the dash
Then once the hood was back on, it was time to make a new gas line.
And a big thank you to Bill Hudson for the fittings he sent me a while back.

Re: Homemade exhaust pipe tap
Nice job Dave! I had a rough time with iCub's exhaust pipe. I coated the new one with anti-seize... not that I'm planning on removing it anytime soon. It would be nice to get another 50 years out of it.
Glad you were able to get the hood back on real quick, too!
