Here is the junction box. Still needs a strain relief for the cable and a crab handle of sorts.

Added a fuel flow indicator to monitor fuel consumption of the 4a084 engine. Works out to just under 1.5 GPH on the average (a 15% correction factor is needed for this specific meter, calibrated for H2O)...

Good, now add another so people can see your turn signal driving alongside...

Right, "Check batteries daily" should really be "Check battery connections daily"....

Darn Gimp, that's a loaded question, however it moves rather freely now, but I don't trust the scratched plunger. No it was never polished.

I'm working on a box like lonegunman's and will post images when done. It will include a 3-wire 50A/220 volt socket for a stick welder...

Check the 289-20 TM.

Well, it has made me acutely aware of the problems that may result from hard rust particles in the fuel. A similar situation is found in the FDC plunger, causing them to leak fuel into the crankcase. I now have a magnetic filter on the 8x8 and posted some results a month or so ago. There is also...

Anybody know of a source for aircraft type nickel-cadmium batteries? Surplus, of course.

I'm long left in the backwater here, my decade old computer now can't do the "chat" at all and now the "search" function isn't working (never was that good anyway). Haven't tested it all, but the link to the old site is gone too. It's just a matter of time when I won't be able to sign in at all...

They need to be hardened to do the job. The plating is less important. Aircraft Spruce has some mil spec washers; Washers from Aircraft Spruce

Clinto, I was finally supplied by several goodhearted forum members, ACE and Will Wagner among others...

Thanks Phil, I'm aware of the commercial stuff, but would like to see some mil surplus chargers able to handle several batteries at a time.

Still looking for info on these chargers...

Right, did that and used a small O-ring for the center post. Don't know if I have the correct fit, though. Engine runs beautifully, it's just the starting that is questionable, need to use ether and don't like it, even after it has been running and is restarted after an hour or so. Checked the...

Don't know what to say Kenny, been pretty unmotivated lately.

Thanks fellows! Just doing research to see what kind of sophistication was applied. It would have to be a 14 (plus or minus) volt setup, since the series 28 V charging on the trucks could never address the individual needs of each battery. Also, if the charger was designed for "fast" charging...

So, WM, did you find anything on this?

Ron, the new (made since 1980 or so) solid state flashers use a transistor to switch the load (light bulbs) and no fuse will react fast enough to protect it. Some may have internal short circuit protection, but there is no way to tell by the part number. If you are lucky enough to find one of...

Definitely interested, but won't have any funds until the end of the month.... What are the specs? Is there a part number? Thanks
