  1. I typed hammer paint but auto correct strikes again.
  2. You could use hose covering and the paint the plastic housing with hammer paint and it would look good
  3. I own a couple of them and love it. But i will use it 6hrs a day at work. It does show power ground and you can power up circuits or ground items out ect. I often use it to power up starter solenoids. It even reads the variable voltage of computer data lines. Yes it is overkill for our cars, a test light and cheap volt meter works fine.
  4. Fyi the diesel filters would stabilize nitrate levels to keep cylinder liners from pitting tiny holes in them. The caterpillar engines seem to need them the most. Some didn't need them, especially once red coolant was developed. The new Detroit dd15 used a filter that would plug up with a slimy grey matter, then they did away with it.
  5. It doesn't look that bad, it would have been better if it looked like a fuel bowl. Looks good for an experiment
  6. I bet a new plug is cheaper than shipping new washers. Pull the plug and see what it looks like. Is the electrodes brown, black, white, wet. Start with that check the sealing surface. Replace the plug if its not sealing. That much fluid whether its oil or coolant, seams like would have a skip on that cylinder if it was coming from that combustion chamber. Being number 1 i still think its 75% a coolant leak from the water outlet leaking as it happens all the time. But it could be oil. Anything is possible.
  7. What snipper said. I packed my pump with assembly lube and took a plug out of the oil galley by the dizzy and pushed oil through it. But diffidently check to see if dizzy is spinning. Put fuel in the carb by pulling the top. But i like cranking it without it starting till i see pressure on the gauges so i did the carb after alot of cranking.
  8. I also had coolant leak into number one and a slight leak on the spark plug gasket so combustion gasses would turn it brown and black. I like snippers advice they make dye for oil and coolant to check for leaks. Could use water in radiator and see if the color changes or if it evaporates quickly.
  9. I don't like the plastic fuel filter, but it may tell you if the fuel pump is pumping and may tell if its the pump or if your sucking air. A clear plastic filter is a good diagnostic tool but shouldn't be left in place for safety reasons. I have seen a coil and bad condenser do this. Even with the adding fuel. I would put a spark tool between a wire and plug. Get it to act up a monitor the spark and fuel flow in the filter. Cheap and easy place to start.
  10. Headlamp crossbar final paint is done and dry. Very classy i think.
  11. If you look in the instructions manual they came with alot pf tools, no pictures though.
  12. I got nosy in the middle picture and saw the original tire bar. Ive got mine too, but i would like to see what you have of the original tool kit to compare to what i have
  13. There won't be much mistaking of it no more?
  14. Its a samba, and i will admit that i cheated and used Google lense
