I used some small, round head brass nails that are used for carpet runner strips. Trimmed them to length and peened them in. They look like the...
Might check fuel pressure and flow, if you haven't already. The generator could be making electrical noise and scrambling the ignition signal....
I've always called them Stat-o-seals. I've used them many times on the scooters. I have a set on the front calipers on my heap. They have...
I recently scrapped one because I didn't want to lift it more than the one time it took to get it off the engine:rolleyes:
You can go either way, with the trim or without. There is no difference in channel, as far as I know. Either style window will fit, due to the...
Wonder if you received the correct lifters. Compare one of the new lifters with one of previous lifters to see if the oil holes are drilled the same.
^ Dunno...that one might need an explanation.
Under slung works as long as the scrub line is OK. I've seen lots of stuff built with bad scrub. Looks kool, but not smart or safe, in my opinion.
^ I have one of those large drip pans. I cut a piece of cardboard to fit in it. When the card board gets dirty I throw it away and replace it...
Moving the engine over enough to clear is an option.
Perhaps the senders aren't grounded to the block, due to thread sealant insulating them.
I made one once using a hand held torch propane tank and a check valve. It helped, but lost vac. too quickly. Made a bigger one using a...
Lots of different functions going on in the summer, all up and down and around the coast. https://rhodycruisers.com/
Congrats Danny!! You're a very tolerant person;)
^ This...and hornets camped out inside your ear muffs:eek:
This is how I do an empty engine/radiator coolant fill that works on my heaps. I fill the radiator about a gallon shy from full, rad. cap off,...
^ Nailed it! Nice...but spendy. They custom made a core for me and it's a thing of beauty.
Possibly trapped air. It will cause all kinds of weird stuff like this.
^^I have a hidden switch in the pump feed...it works. Inertia switch is a good idea. I've always run the pump feed through a normally open, 10...
I used some ptex blue on some water pump gaskets awhile back. Surprised it never cured. I left it, as all I wanted it to do was impregnate the...
Might check around the starter for melted wire grounding out on something. Lots of heat there, could be it took a couple trips and starting it 25...
Viking. One of my most favorite tools. Make welding fun again!
Could be rotten fuel.
^Nothing is perfect. Loops can crack from metal fatigue, caused by long term vibration:)
^ Not when the pump is mounted in rubber. The hardline will hamper isolation.
^ This or find something...like an old microwave...that has louvers. Fab your cover from that or weld them into the cover you want to use. This...
^Does sound like a bad condenser. A thought. Awhile back I had a problem like this that turned out to be a faulty ignition switch. Turn it on...
There is an adjustable, stainless frame available that would accommodate that size plate . I had one I didn't use and recently gave to my...
^ If they're off some, you can use some 80 grit inside the drum to shape them up. If they're off a lot, the paper won't work too well.
Thanks to all my brothers and sisters that served. USAF 1975 - 1981.
