The Journey to Finishing the Satsuma

Introduction

In this episode of My Summer Car, we Continue our Quest to complete the Satsuma. After running out of time in the previous episode, we're determined to finish the car today and hopefully encounter no further issues. Join me as we dive into the details of the installation process and get the Satsuma up and running.

The Journey Begins

To kick things off, we start by addressing a couple of forgotten tasks. We tighten the clutch line and starter bolt, ensuring that everything is secure before moving forward. Next, we move to the front of the car and tackle the installation of the exhaust. Adjusting the position takes a bit of trial and error, but we soon find the right spot and proceed with the process.

Gear Mechanism and Gear Linkage

With the exhaust in place, we shift our focus to the gear mechanism and gear linkage. Using a five-millimeter wrench, we secure the three bolts that hold the gear linkage in place. This ensures that the gears will function smoothly and without any issues.

Installing the Radiator Hoses

Next on our checklist is the installation of the radiator hoses. This two-piece design can be a bit tricky, but with some patience and maneuvering, we successfully connect both parts and secure them in place. With the radiator hoses installed, we can now move on to the next step.

Axle Installation

To complete the axle installation, we need to loosen two 14-millimeter bolts. Once loosened, we can easily attach the axle, ensuring that it is securely in place. After tightening all three remaining bolts, we can confidently move on, inching closer to our goal.

Adding Brake and Clutch Fluid

Now it's time to add the necessary fluids to the Satsuma. We start by filling the brake and clutch fluid reservoirs, using caution not to overfill. With each fluid level properly monitored, we ensure that the Satsuma's braking and clutch systems are ready for action.

Adding Engine Oil

Checking the oil fill cap, we prepare to add the engine oil. We grab our 10w40 oil and carefully pour it into the designated opening. Though the pouring process may seem a little unorthodox, we ensure that the oil is distributed evenly, making sure we reach the recommended fill level.

Filling the Coolant Reservoir

In an unconventional move, we find ourselves in need of coolant. In the absence of any readily available coolant, we resort to an alternative method. After hydrating ourselves, we relieve our bladder into the radiator, restoring the necessary fluid level. With the radiator cap tightened, we bid farewell to our improvised coolant and move forward.

Adding Gasoline

Before we can take the Satsuma for a spin, we need to fill up the gasoline tank. After unscrewing the gas cap, we carefully pour gasoline into the tank, ensuring we have a sufficient amount to get us started on our journey.

Testing and Troubleshooting

With all the necessary components in place, it's time to test the Satsuma and troubleshoot any potential issues. We turn the Ignition, pull out the choke, and attempt to start the car. Alas, the first few attempts result in no success. However, after making some adjustments and giving it another try, the Satsuma roars to life, leaving us astounded and relieved.

Finishing Touches

With the Satsuma now running smoothly, we move on to the finishing touches. We reinstall the hood, making sure it is securely attached. Additionally, we adjust the tie rods to ensure proper alignment, ensuring the Satsuma is in optimal condition for our upcoming adventures.

Taking the Satsuma for a Drive

Excited to finally experience the power of the Satsuma, we buckle up and take it for a drive. The smooth ride and increased speed leave us exhilarated and eager for more. However, our joy is short-lived as we encounter an unexpected pedestrian and a minor accident. Thankfully, our Satsuma remains intact, and we learn valuable lessons in road safety.

Conclusion

In this episode, we embarked on the journey of finishing the Satsuma. Despite some setbacks and surprises along the way, we managed to successfully complete the installation and get the Satsuma up and running. Stay tuned for future adventures as we utilize the Satsuma for various tasks and explore the world of My Summer Car.
