Bumper jack retainer?

I have a plastic syrup (Lego my eggo) squeeze bottle. Usually a squirt or two does the trick. For stubborn situations I put a piece of clear fuel line onto the nozzle and shoot it down the carb vent tube to fill the float chamber/s

Drop the pan. Yup there will probably be sludge and gunk there. As designed, much like the oil in the bottom of an oil bath air filter. Its the entrapment media for carbon, dirt, metal leavings etc. That's why it's at the lowest part of the system below the level of the pick up screen. That's why the pick up has a clip to keep it from going past horizontal and into the goop.

Another expensive vs less expensive illustration. My daughter needed to replace the battery in her 2017 Honda CRV. she called AAA, they said they could deliver one and installation in about 6 hours for about 135 bucks, she called the local Honda dealer, they said about 225 for purchase and install oh oem Honda a dranded battery. She then called Walmart. Everstart was around 90 bucks. She did the no brainer deal, bought he battery. She jumped her car, brought it here. I supervised while she did the install. First thing I said was take off your bracelet. all said and done it's fixed. At Christmas she was telling her story and my brother ( Honda tech for 10, Service manager for 30 years rolled his eyes aut buying the Walmart battery. Did a little digging found out Johnson controls makes both Wal mart and Honda in the US and the Honda branded on is lower rated in cold cranking amps and one other spec.And warentee coverage. When I told my brother, he put his fingers in his ears and did his I can't hear this dance. So shopping and spec reading can do what you need to do, and leave a couple bucks in your pockets.

Not wanting to go all green and tree hugger, but 10 years ago we would have racing on the ice of several regional lakes with ice thickness of 12 to 18 inches starting around the third weekend of Jan. Now the smaller lakes are just skimming over and the two largest are still mostly open water. If I wanted to go racing this weekend I would to travel to small lakes near Lake Placid near the winter Olympics training ffacilities.as of now they are not announcing a location for Saturday and Sunday. So despite the cold weather, climate vlimate is warming. This has been the case for at l4ast 6 or 8 years. And prior to that it was slush racing on a plowed course wouldn't hold up for 2 days of racing,

Did you hear the part where Dodge Training indicated replacement of the water dist tube every 2 years? So maybe waiting 50 to 70 years to service is where the trouble starts about removing them... But back then most folks ran water then added alcohol in the fall so no rust preventative in the mix. When my father was a teen, he and his friends built ICE BOATS. Thing air boats on skis. A couple used small aircraft ft air-cooled engines, but his was Model T powered. He said he used kerosene in the radiator.

Bob you marked y post as the solutions to your issue. Which part?

Some valuable wisdom learned over many years of experience and many trips to training sessions. Run them often, run them hot, run them so they work. parade speed runs to the ice cream store once a week are not doing them any favors.

Seems to me the original switch is resisted. So at 12 v medium speed would D be around 6 to 8 volts draw which for all but arctic bomb cyclone should be effective. For you guys contemplating similar replacement, a transmission cooler might make a nice heat exchanger. You project looks great. The hammered finish paint period correct.

Ameliorate is a big word for extend, increase, accelerate, enhance, or to render enfavorable changes and or conditions.

I wasn't referring to the color of the pipe, I was referring to the moisture drops on the driveway. Some condensation is to be expected, but if it is chronic it indicates the exhaust is running cold. The Italian tune up is just a way of encouraging lengthy bouts of extended spirited driving within of course the limitations of the brakes, tires and traffic and operator's handing iimits.

We used to say it needs an Italian tune up. Make suree your choke is fully open, at high idle pour about 1 quarter can of Berrymans carb cleaner slowly down the carb, pour about half of whats left in the can into the gaa tank. Now drive out to the country roads then drive the wheels off it till you run about about a quarter tank through it. 60 to70 miles or so. Get every thing g nice and warm then let her eat. In the words of Enzo Ferrari, "Brakes? We don't need brakes! They only slow you down!" Make sure you use all the carb circuits, idle, acc pump, climb so long hills to get the step up valve gets some work. Speaking of the step up, if it's not working correctly it might be stuck open, which will cause wet exhaust, black smoke, lousy fuel milage and fouled plugs. What do your sparkplug look like?

Note, there is accomodation there for the hand throttle but no cable.

Has anyone looked into dirt bike or snowmobile radiators as a possible replacement? Seen new aluminum ones for around 50 bucks.

If the throttle doesn't close, the idle circuit isn't in the equation. No amount of adjusting the idleair screw will have any effect. The throttle doesn't need to shut completely, you are actually supposed to use a thin drill bit as a gauge for the setting but unless the main linkage is closing and the float and needle and seat are working you are banging yer head against the wall. Is the linkagefrom the gas pedal allowing full travel of the fiddly parts?
