    4a032 What kind of crankcase oil?

    According to the TM it says 30wt for most temps. I stumbled across the LO and it says 15w40. I have never run 15w40 in a gasoline engine so I am second guessing it. Should I stick with standard sae30 to run a 10w30 winter weight?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Thanks for the tips. I temporarily put vise grips on the rear bow and slid the vice grip down until i could get the rear buttons attached. Now that the rear curtain is attached and the bow is shorter it is definatly looser on the sides. I guess it jus the way she goes. I do need to find/make...

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    I definitely do not want to change my welder plug. I have a 50' extension cord for it and it can take it to any of my houses and plug it into my dryer. I'm still confused as so where to attach the 3rd wire for the 3 prong outlet

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    Im looking at the TM on how to disconnect the voltage regulator. Seems pretty extensive. Is there a single wire or maybe 2 that i can disconnect instead of all the wires?

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    Yea I am aware, the tm kept saying to set the idle at 200-900 rmp which was really throwing me off. I was setting it for the 60hz range, but was double guessing myself because of the tm 200-900 rpm thing.

    Another MEP-016A Carb issue

    That's what I did but with the idle adjustment screw turned 1/2 out the motor will blow up. I think the part I was missing was holding the governor rod back. I was using my girl friends hair dryer for a load test. It amazing how much power they use. I will give it another try tonight. Thank You
