taxi driver Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 So I helped a buddy pick up what looks like a GT-80 from the mid 1970s. Fuel line was connected to the wrong inlet on the carb. Looks like a pair of disconnected vaccuum tits on the carb. It'll run for a minute or two then quits. Needs everything & has been butchered. Worth a rebuild? I'd post photos but the site won't let me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Taxi guy nice you have a project but say hi first tell us a bit about what you capable of and then post fixem problem in work shop. Posting pictuers you need a photo bucket or simmilar to link them here. Anything is worth rebuilding if you want to,but honestly a gt 80 isn't worth more than 500.

taxi driver Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well hello then. My name is Chris. I drive cab for a small cab company in rural British Columbia. Four cars, two mini buses and a very nice shop which is cluttered up with far too many projects. To date I have rebuilt only one engine this small -- an ancient Briggs & Stratton 2kw generator. I have a bad habit of repairing old junk and then giving it away as gifts or donations to the local church. Mostly computers, cars, and the odd Cooey. For vehicles I prefer diesel. Fav engine is the Mercedes OM617 5cyl turbo diesel. I am too tall and too old for this little bush bomb, but it sure does look like fun. Model KS-250M. Guess I'll have to start a build thread...
