Nah. It's more that I'm lazy, and hate walking.

I thought CUCVRUS meant that this was once the engine was running, and without stuck relays or starter solenoids, or other malfunctions.

Perfect, then please tell me what's going on (or more correctly, not going on) with the fuel delivery system on my SEE. Today I tried with an electric fuel pump ahead of the fuel valve, which does fill up the strainer, but nothing makes it to the bleeder screws on top. Originally that pump was...

Yeah, but how many of them did you sell? Ah, what the heck, you're welcome either way.

I was primarily thinking about a hose, any type, being ripped off by stuff on the trail. When a rock can somehow get up on top of a tire in a wheel well, for example, few things are completely safe, no matter how carefully routed. Then again, I've had a braided hose fail on a sports car - on the...

Cutting the cable to the starter couldn't hurt a thing, as far as I can tell. But disconnecting the batteries (negative or positive side) with the engine running would make the alternators unhappy, wouldn't it?

I have learned a lot from this site, and found that it's full of helpful people.

When creating that kind of sparking, repeatedly, you're better off not having functional charging. Glad you didn't blow up a battery and get sprayed with acid.

There has to be more to it than using the wrong kind of alternator. At least I can't quite picture how it could make the starter activate. Collateral damage from using the wrong alternator, perhaps, possibly combined with hooking up the batteries wrong? Getting 12 volts (and high amps) to the...

Nah, if it ruins someone else's backyard, it could be worth it.

That's what I thought. Just yanking your chain, corelokt.

Looks like we need to list them under "Free stuff" to get rid of them.

Trouble shooting doesn't have to be performed "live". Using a 9 Volt battery is often enough when it's easier to have voltage in a circuit than measuring resistance. It's bad enough that many don't like working on or understand the basics of electricity, and it doesn't help when (for whatever...

At least two of us got drafted, as far as I know. Unfortunately I don't have the time/willingness to get reacquainted withe the CUCV wiring system, so I simply described how the batteries should be hooked up after getting some PMs, and later, emails. Figured that it would be a good start (no pun...

So you hooked up the battery cables as described in my email and the starter engaged when you connected the final cable?

There are advantages over basic hose and clamps, for sure. But as a four wheeler I learned not to use braided hose and fancy fittings, because if they do go bad in the field it's easier said than done to fix them. Just my $0.02.

I hope I never get hungry enough to find out what it tastes like.

Here's my contribution.

And here I thought that you tilted the cab to put a longer exhaust on the SEE. Must'be been loud in there with only the exhaust manifold.

Oh, there are quite a few differences between a SEE and an HMMH. Anyway, when/if I find my bag of decals, I'll check if there's a HMMH specific one for the doghouse. EDIT: Found the ad for the decal set, but it's only the loader decal, nothing for the forklift.
