    I can see that Zout's A/C guy is catching the green disease. The picture phase is always where it starts. He will be hanging around the garage sweeping floors next and then he will be at the auctions. I see it coming.

    Bingo! I try to explain to guys nowadays about asbestos brakes and they tell me that they have not been made from asbestos since the 70's. I say yea, and when do you think those NOS brakes are from? And some heavy truck brakes were made from asbestos going well into the 80's. I have a five...

    Stand-alone A/C unit, all you need is a place for the exhaust hose and condensate drain. Add an RV generator underneath somewhere and you are good to go.

    You could always run 6 volt to the ignition and 12 volt to the starter for short bursts.

    Gotcha, Forgot about the secret starter control. Great security measure.

    Lost me at the 12 volt solenoid? If you are staying with 6 volt then the voltage will not engage the solenoid. Unless of coarse the solenoid is manually engaged?

    Considering the already once cooked wiring and the leaky carb I think "firing" it up may not be the right term to use.:roll::roll:

    Reserve on auctions?

    More money to GL means more money to the govt.. Budgets are tight, who is going to say anything? Us? Yea right, like anyone is going to listen. And technically they are still selling to the highest bidder. If the bids do not reach the reserve they just lower it for the next...

    Reserve on auctions?

    Well, all the ones I was looking at all sold. Some crazy prices too. I guess as long as people will pay it then the prices will stay there. Look at generator prices in Hawaii if you want to get bummed out, unless you are in Hawaii that is.:twisted:

    Reserve on auctions?

    I don't know what the going price normally is on the later gen-sets but I would say that was a good price IF and only IF they ran. That is the key to buying stuff here, there are no guarantee's. What would you have said if you got them home and it was seized? I would bet you would not have been...

    And the bottom line is probably less money at the end of the year for the government. Either way, not good for us.
