You have it on correctly. That end of the spring pushes against the outside of the shroud. After you install the shroud, you squeeze the spring on its other side onto the bracket that holds the air ring, thus creating a spring load that wants to push the air ring out of the shroud. The thermo is what holds it in when cold. |
Yes, many thanks. Snort pointed that out as well.
I should point out I'm on a totally different 36HP motor than the one depicted in the pictures that started this thread. This one is for my '57 oval. But still I have thermostat, heater box and shoe box issues.
This project has taken way to long. Partially because I'm busy, but mostly because of my own incompetence. I'm not a mechanic, but I do play one from time to time in the garage.
So after trying to cobble heater boxes together from a lot of rusty Cleveland junk, I gave up and bought the CIP1 replacements. Not as thick as originals, but they'll have to do.
The real challenge has been shoe boxes and flappers. You'd think there'd be tons of them out there. And maybe there are, but they seems scarce to me. I did manage to get a decent pair together from about five or six rough sets I managed to grab over the past two years.
So I was getting ready to bolt it all back together and I realized the fan shroud was a 40 horse stale. No hole for the mechanical choke cable. Not to worry on that. I have several 36HP fan shrouds. When I get it cleaned and painted I'll take a pic of it all going together for shoe box aficionados. |
