Alfonse Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I picked up a Birkin a month or so ago and am taking the opportunity to do a bit of maintenance and refreshing. I put in a new timing belt, water pump, serp belt, and all new fluids. The interior was showing some wear, and other cosmetics to do. I think I have it as far apart as I need. Now, redoing and reassembly. I figure about another month or so...
jlumba81 Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 How's your fuel tank? I actually found pinecones in mine when I changed out my fuel pump in my caterham.
Alfonse Posted April 12, 2016 Author Posted April 12, 2016 I haven't changed the fuel. So, I haven't looked for pine cones yet. It was running fine when I got it. It did have a bunch of water around the spark plug holes. I think it was transported in an enclosed trailer, but left out in yard in the rain in Seattle for a few days.
wemtd Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 If you don't have any - may want to add some safety hoops around the prop shaft
Alfonse Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) If you don't have any - may want to add some safety hoops around the prop shaft That is a good idea. Will do. I haven't had to source those before. I see a bunch at Summit Racing. Are there any that are particularly suited to a Birkin? Edited April 13, 2016 by Alfonse
