That's from Lao-Tzu, The FLU farm! It's in his ancient Tao Te-Ching (sp?); a good read, check it out (it's short).

Curious, but the Acetone/ ATF blend: do you know a preferred/ proven ratio for that?

.
I was told - way back in the day - that the Acetone and ATF is a 50/50 Blend.

Also called Weasel Pi$$ for one reason or another

The normal recommended 50/50 mix works great.

Just don't put it in a handy old style oil can like I did. It has a crimp on the bottom, which works well with the regular oil it was intended for, but the acetone/ATF mix crept through that crimp. Yes, it's that good of a penetrant.

Zweeet:

- 50/50

Even a Knucklehead like me can remember that!

Replacement wiring harness update!!!


Replacement wiring harness update

She runs!

Had some weird issues with a popping heater fuse at first when I was turning the master light switch to full running lights but I think I have that worked out.
I believe we had some of the 4 pin connectors behind the ignition switch misconnexted They are labeled e1-e5 and c3 on the new harness.

I think we have those connected correct as about 85% of everything is working.

Things that aren’t working:
-Turn signal switch. Does nothing. This didn’t work prior to mouse damage.
- horn. Also wasn’t working before so may have been prexisting. Going to try to try the horn with battery tomorrow.
- volt meter. Used to work. Not now. ??
- all warning lights above speedo. Nothing illuminates. No brake, no pro light. Nada. Those used to work.

Then I have a really weird issue. When I turn the master light switch to full run (all the way to right) all lights work… high low beam etc. but the hazard relay under the dash just clicks continuously. The button actually turns the lights on and off, but the relay just keeps clicking. Very strange.

If you have any suggestions let me know!!

Does anyone know part numbers for the indicator bulbs?
I need a couple for the 5 lights above the Speedo (parking brake indicator, pro engage etc).
And also the bulb that goes in the volt meter. It’s a different one. Can’t find any part numbers.

Bring one each of the old ones to NAPA?

 

[majkowskid]

Wish we had a local Napa. Closed down two years ago. All we have is auto zone and they looked at me like I was stupid. I said “they’re 24 volt” and they were like “sir, all cars are 12 volt”.

So I found a pinhole seeping leak on my radiator. Right on the top flat portion.
Has anyone found an aftermarket radiator that fits the FLu? Don’t wanna spend 1000$ on an old stock one lol

Solder up the hole and hope there won't be too many other leaks?

Was actually just researching this. Are the radiators aluminum? If so I think I can aluminum welding with low temp aluminum rods and propane burner

I doubt that they are, but I can go scrape some paint off of one tomorrow and find out.

If you don’t mind that would be great! I would think aluminum to be honest. Copper maybe??

My guess is brass, like most older radiators.

That would make sense. Brass is even easier. I think i can just solder it with 40/60

Ok. More rat damage! Can someone please help me identify these 4 wires? Right by the gear shifters. Two go to the split shift indicator button on top of the split shift mechanism. I was able to identify the one that goes to the dash light. So there’s 3 left. I know one of them goes to the other wire on the button switch but I don’t know how to identify which of the remaining it may be? And the other two I have no idea what they do! Can’t find any numbers on them!
