OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Rare Finds & Donations 1964 Corvette 4 V29 kirby lawson

Hey Found this one on Saturday was at a deceased estate and was in pieces the more i looked the more of it we found, put it together last night it ran for a few seconds till Crack ! seems we over looked the flywheel bolt being loose - wanted flywheel to suit. never seen one before on this base. according to the book its a 1964 corvette 4 v29.

looks ok too they had a gold base ? i think blumby has one i seen agas ago here . i'll go look outside i think i have a flywheel somewhere . looks a similar base to corvette 2 . good luck with it

hey
nah gold is pressure pack over the original green yeah its very similar to the corvette 2 except the optional side throw shute is on the opposite side.

[Censored] it must be the time for buggered flywheels.I have one on my Four-stroke (Model 7A) that broke when trying to get it off.After I take a picture of it I'll be looking for one as well.The only problem is there are two different flywheels.No I don't have this model unfortunately I would like one that's for sure.I only have the two stroke version.

well those flywheels do seem to get fragile with age hey.i will take the utmost care when handling mine from now on

I'm not sure it's with age,there just soooooo thin,and there isn't any bolt holes to put a pulley on.Which is how I usually do them.You just make sure you look after that mower as well.If not send it my way.I haven't been lucky enough to find one yet.I have the two stroke version.Just like the four stroke one they would look great sitting next to each other.Best of luck with your search I'm trying to find one as well.

Worst thing is the place it came from had two turner mowers with kirby engines and boxes of bits . had no room inn the car. ill keep an eye out for you

Quick go back!

hey guys got the corvette 4 going on the weekend thanks to bluegmhtmonaro supplying the flywheel , dismantled and gave it a tidy up resealed crank case and replaced lower seal runs a treat starts first go ,its in better condition mechanically after 40 years than a 3 year old mower these days are.

just wondering are these ones ment to have a tin cover over the carb and muffler like the earlier 4 star kirbys ?
also anyone with a spare original throttle control and cable im seeking one .
cheers, tomo
