Hey Guys, no judgement on my part! This was a great resource to me when I had a cucv, and if I still had it and was trying to sell something I might consider the upgraded membership, but at this point it would simply be a fee to post an ad for something that I think the community would be...

oh, I see, well I sold my CUCV a while ago, so premium membership isn't really worth it to me. :( Thanks for the help anyway!

Does anyone know why I can't post to classifieds? It says I don't have permission. I have a cucv gas cap and an original antenna whip and base to sell. I've been a member for a long time, so I'm don't understand it. thanks jason

I think it worked really well. I painted over the numbers with flat black, and then went to a hobby store to get white rub on numbers. I relabled it for 4k. After that I reassembled the glass and bezel. Just a note about calibration. I never did get an optical tach, but the method I used...

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/28797-tach-cucv.html If you're the handy type you can take a look at this thread. I repurposed an 8k gas engine tach, It worked pretty good, and only cost me a few dollars as I had the tach already.

.4 seems very low, make sure your have a good ground on your black lead to your meter. If you are still getting .4v you can check your solenoid independently in two steps First get someone to hold the throttle down, or jam something on the pedal. Second apply 12 v to the solenoid. It should...

I guess I never thought about it, but if you were welding in a mudhole it might be a good idea. :) I didn't have any trouble getting zapped while welding on asphalt. That is a nice throttle cable, and $15 isn't bad, Thanks!

Power not being applied to the glowplugs. You really need to put a meter on the output large lug on the relay and watch the voltage while turning the key on in the morning. It your controller card is working properly you'll immediately have ~12-14v there until the wait light goes out and it will...

I don't know, but I figured a portable welder might come in handy some day. ;)

How did your GPS compare to your speedo? My Speedo is 5mph fast.

Well scratch all that about it not working. I guess I didn't have a good connection or something. I reconnected the Ground from the slave jack to the ground post on the alternator. I set my throttle about about 1900 rpm, and it struck a beautiful arc. It works great. Now to get my...

That is pretty slick, and it probably does a better job, but mine cost less than $25 :P

Big Red, The regulator is completely isolated. Basically you feed the field 13vdc, for maximum voltage output, rather than letting the regulator control the field voltage for a 14 volt output. The more I think about it the more I think that the ground shouldn't matter. I may have to try it...

You're right that's perfect, wonder where I can get a hold of an M35 hand throttle?

Barrman that throttle is perfect, where can I get a hold of an M35 hand throttle?
