Re: special engine tool
Of the five we have , I have pulled the engines on 3 and being on a stand sure helps. But I too have ground a 1/2 " wrench to work. The smaller nuts that Service has work well too. I generally use

Those were nice doors, wish I could have bought them to have on the shelf. They were part of the garage sale, I’m sure whoever was in charge of that will know who they belonged to

Michael, You can also get those panels from Yankee Crosley Parts. He has a nice set of originals to trace and cut new ones.

Exhaust
Does it pay to enlarge exhaust from stock size to 1.5 inches straight thru will there be a noticeable increase in power?

Re: Exhaust
I have 1&1/2 put on all mine and yes it helps a lot. By straight thru I assume you intend a muffler too ? I'd use at least a resonator, otherwise the sound is a bit rough.

Re: Crosley Carter Carburetor
Some may disagree with me, however I suggest changing the carb to a Tillotson. Once they are properly set, they keep working, trouble free.

Re: Crosley Carter Carburetor
A temporary fix might be to pack the gap with some thick old fashioned axle grease to seal the leak. You would have to reapply every now and then when the gas fumes dissolve the grease.

Re: Crosley Carter Carburetor
I ordered a reamer and bushing kit on eBay. I’m going to give that a try. I used to use those kits many years ago. However I do have a Tillotson carb on a 50 Crosley wagon that I might throw on
