    Ok Fellows,
    I just finished assembling my HCS33 and I took a lot of pictures of every step. I though was a good idea to create a photo gallery to help others in these forums that are intimidated with this process (I was one of them)
    Here is the link to the pics, I also included a video clip showing the Clunk test. Check it out and let me know what you think. Feel free to criticize it and make suggestions.

    P.S. I hope you understand "spanglish" otherwise just look at the pics :wink:

    great pic progression, I really liked the clunk test vid. Shows how easily the piston should move inside the body. Well done

    That was great! First a valve adjustment, and now a carb tutorial. This has been a fabulous week for us newbies! Much better than my Haynes manual...

    Thanks Chacal for the corrections.

    Sub the word "enrichment" for the word choke.

    Yes I though about that but there is a couple of posts explaining that procedure so I decided to be focus in the assembly only. Thanks for the feedbacks.
