Its not the the best welder in the world, but Ive gotten pretty good with it. Its the 200 dollar harbor freight 220v welder. I had a craftsman mig welder for years that stopped working so I bought this one. I was skeptical at first. I had to make some changes to the harbor freight one to make it to my liking but its pretty awesome now.
like changing the lead to a real one with normal weld tips(from my old craftsman)- easy to do. Added the cart and gas bottle. Just dont like not being able to change the voltage range with a knob control.It has 4 voltage ranges and you have to adjust wire speed accordingly. Its well worth 200bucks.
Ive done a lot of welding with it so far and I like it.
-----DANG I HATE PAINTING! LOL

iv got a powermate 70 i got on craigslists for $40, iv gotten so many jobs done with that thing, that welder doesnt owe me a dime. iv got only 2 voltage adjustments and its a flux core wire welder, but i can pull a good looking bead with it. |

when i bought a new trans for my truck it had the worste baked on mud id ever seen. i hammered it with brake parts cleener and let it set in there a bit then spent probably an hour or so with a pressure cleaner. it came out really good. brake parts cleaner is the hardest solvent you can get in a can, so its your best bet by far. before  after  done the same with muddy old engine blocks, always comes out looking nice  brake parts cleaner and a pressure cleaner are definitely the best bet for old parts. |

def. have to try that. this is what I got done so far with cleaner and a lot of elbow grease. still looks like crap. It is a 28 year old motor. lol   couple updates; new carb  6 pack rack that Ive had for about 14 years and been hanging in my garage. I think it fits this thing.  wiring harness is cleaned up and in. pegs rust free and painted. front fender mounted. it may look like I have done nothing but the little things take the most time.  |

you wont get that motor to look good unless you paint it imo. it looks nice and clean, clean enough to throw a coat of glass black on the cylinder and head and maybe paint the case a metallic silver or red. from my experience raw aluminum will just get stained brown, it can be clean and still brown. i had the same problem with a transfer case i was putting in my truck, i cleaned it up real nice but it still looked stained and crappy, a coat of gloss black has it looking nice.
the project is coming along nicely, those rims and tires look pretty slick on their. vht just came out with a line of metallic engine paints that looks really nice, iv been waiting for a project i can try some on. you should look into it for that motor.

This was on another forum I read... I copied and pasted what he wrote... spelling errors and all. "Ive all ways used simple green and what ever else I though would work to clean engine case with ok results but I seen on Smw450R thread he had used some etching spray so I though I would give it a try after some searching I found some at O rielly's Hand's down best stuff for cleanin a motor period. I just sprayed it on and scrubed it with a small wire brush and it cam clean with little offort"   |

What if you took a scotch pad and scuffed the edges of the fins? Sorta a brushed look to match the mag cover... Just a little touch, might look good and break up the black.
