Step 11Fuel tank
The angled leg will also be the fuel tank.
I ordered a weld on bung for Harley style oil tanks for a screw on fuel filler. I'll weld it on the short post, the long one will house the batteries. The original handle with throttle will bolt on it as well.
It's still in process but I did get it to crank on starter fluid.. I've also received the bung and welded it on. (see added pic) I had to add a little support to the motor plate because it bounced around too much. The sheetmetal I used for a motor plate was a little to thin and it flexed at idle causing the entire get up to walk around. After adding an angle bracket for support it's quite stable. I'll pick up some rubber feet for chair legs the next time at lowe's.
Next step is to solder on two nipples for the fuel supply and return, then rig up a base of some sort for the bottom of the blender to rest in.
I didn't get pics of the process but I pulled the blender motor apart and pressed the motor shaft off the armature. I cut the motor shaft down to fit the old weedeater's clutch output.

Hummm.. do you know me? Why do you think they call me Stub? I can function quite well with 9.5 fingers! It's also just the right length and without a fingernail has been handy as a scratchless G-spot messager :-) Lets just say that chicks dig it! I can also do what I call stupid human tricks. I like to make people think I have a finger shoved up my nose and past the second knuckle. You should see the looks I get! It's a hoot at stoplights.
