Is your choke coolant operated? Yeah it is a water powered choke. I too have never heard of one of these, but I did discover last night that the coil inside the choke that pushes the lever to move the choke plates was on the outside of the lever, and not pushing it at all. When I fixed the pisition...

Hey, tthat kick back was a good laugh to me. ;) Did you guys pour gas into the throttle just to make the start up work faster? LOL, yes we did ;-) well, my dad did hehe. I replaced all the gaskets and rubber parts including the diaphragm on the accelerator pump, and it is pumping gas into the barre...

I just rebuilt the Carter ABD that came on the motor, and it seems to be working great. I got my rebuild kit from www.lincolnland.com for $55. I'd say it's worth it to rebuild the stock carb and keep it original. There's plenty of power, and it'll save you money at the gas pump staying with the 2BBL...

Starting the Lincoln up on the second day after rebuilding the carb. Discovered a problem when pumping the gas. If you listen close you can hear the motor die out.

Starting up the Lincoln for the first time after rebuilding the carburetor. Considering this is my first rebuild, I'm happy to say that the leak is gone, and that the rebuild was a success. With the exception of adjusting the choke, she's idling and running strong. I also got to drive around the par...

What up!? Do you have any pics to post?

Three hours later and all the pieces are finally in place. Not too bad for having never done this. The measurements were a challenge, but overall looks pretty good, hope it operates just the same. Waiting on a new battery, and will be out testing...

Getting back home on a Friday night and found some dad time to put this carb back together. Here's the beginning of the reassembly...

Just got done cleaning the carburetor. It's now 12:45 am, Saturday, and I'm ready to put her back together again. Stay tuned for more video of my progress. Would love to hear your thoughts, and if I'm on the right track. I hear these carb rebuilds can be tricky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE7z9l...
