    A vacuum gauge will help when adjusting that screw .

    If you decide to bring your generator into a shop to be checked out , bring your regulator along to be tested too .

    Can you put the gas tank outside ? Perhaps under a tarp to keep it dry .

    Many years ago I spoke to an old guy that got a rude awakening at 3 in the morning . He was woke up by an explosion . The double door of his garage blew off and hit a home across the street . His garage walls were bowed outwards . windows were broken , etc . I asked him what might have caused the explosion and he said " It must have been the gas leak on the truck . "

    According to ' Car Talk ' , a truck tail gate in the closed position is more areodymatic (sp?) than a tail gate in the open position . Something about forming an air pocket .

    Another common mistake is getting the spark plug wires one terminal off . In other words all of your wires might need to be moved over by one position .

    Paul , What is the part number on the underside ?

    I'm betting that you are good to go .

    Your float might be set a little too high and as the heat from the motor soaks into the carb , the gas overflows down the center of the carb . Cheap and easy to adjust . Some of the guys set their floats a little lower than called for in the manual because of todays gasoline quality .

    I had my master cylinder sleeved in brass 8 years ago . It recently needed a new kit and that went in fine . It doesn't matter if you use brass or stainless , either one will out last you . But you will probably find more vendors who are using stainless . There wasn't anything wrong with my brass sleeve when I opened my master cylinder after 8 years .

    You guys are talking about full throttle on the farm equipment , running all day . To me that seems extreme , perhaps you are talking about GOVERNED full throttle .

    Beautiful car . Perhaps the visors will be in the trunk , or under the seat .

    I just measured the welsh plug in my head located above the temperature gauge bulb . It measures 1 3/16 inch .

    It would be best to take the master cylinder apart . If you want to keep it , you can have it sleeved in brass or stainless ( if necessary ) . I had mine sleeved in brass and it recently started to leak ( after 8 years ) so I just put in a kit . I also wonder if the WD40 will do any damage to the rubber parts , oil will definitely do damage to the rubber . When you need to lubricate the parts for assembly use brake fluid .

    I have been running the 6 volt Optima for several years and wouldn't buy anything else . Also my battery is under the floor with a very small access hole in the floor so maintenance is more difficult . No cleaning battery terminals and no adding fluid on the Optima . Plus a lot of CCA . ( cold cranking amps )

    I noticed that my front turn signals were a little dim . Before opening them up , I decided to check my stash of new bulbs and compare brightness with a 6 volt battery . I tested G-E MAZDA 63 and a 63 from China , both were new bulbs . The American made bulbs are about twice as bright . Switched bulbs and problem solved .

    I hope to sell mine when it isn't feasible for me to drive it anymore . Cash is a lot easier to transfer to my heirs .

    Interesting . So you soaked them in vaseline AND armor All ? Mixed together ? Armor All first ?

    Be very careful with that thin tube to prevent breakage . Take a look at the seat inside of the gland nut , sometimes they rust away . You can try a thick sealing compound where the brass bulb seals with the gland nut , I like anti-seaze compound .
