Not that I've had the pleasure to use the FLUs much lately, but today the HMMH came in very handy, again. Set some posts for the carport that the FLUs will live in. Only fair that it participates in the building of its future house, I think. Oh, and tomorrow the Summer SEE will get used to...

Why do you have the engine running when trying to listen for leaks?? If the leak(s) is so severe that it stops almost simultaneously with the engine, try feeding the system from an external source. Oops. My reply was meant for post 3890.

I hope you have checked the notoriously bad/leaking drain valves, FarmMOG. I can see how high rpm could make one of them even less reliable than normal. And as Pinsandpitons asked, even small air leaks are usually easily found by ear.

I bought the correct male plugs on eBay or Amazon (can't remember which now) to avoid having two connections, but for one application it was easier to go with the adapter that Speedwoble mentioned. Also either an eBay or Amazon purchase.

Because of what's hopefully the most inept truck driver still holding a CDL, it went from thisto the ground, to this. I really don't know how I managed without a crane.

If you incorporate an electric fuel pump, mount it as low as possible. They are meant to push fuel.

Not that one turn on the idle screws is necessarily all that much on regular carbs, but as I recall, if they truly don't have any effect it's probably a vacuum leak. Having to run the choke on a warm engine would also indicate it's running lean. On the other hand, sooty plugs would indicate an...

If I'm thinking of the same one, I use that 24-Volt outlet for the strobe lights mounted on the SEE and the HMMH.

I always thought it was for a PTO. But that's pure guesswork. Either way, routing the hoses to that opening could be less than fun.

Well, that's good. Then your seat won't rust. Only the outrigger cylinders on the Summer SEE leak (at the moment) and that's after the battle with mud last fall. But after sitting for some six months, the seat was a bit grungy, and all the paper towels I had handy were...you guessed it, full of...

Looks like you got yourself a really nice one there, Toolee. One suggestion though; when you're done covering up the red paint, I think you'll find that contrasting colors (and added lines) makes it much easier to hook things up to the quick-tach setup on the first try. I happened to have lots...

To counteract lurkMcGurk's more interesting adventures, today I ended up using the pavement breaker for the first time, due to hard clay that needed some holes dug into it. It worked! Since the Summer SEE was now running anyway, I took the opportunity to compress some stuff in a dumpster, to...

I'm impressed. After sitting for about a year and a half, I wanted to clear out a parking space in the garage and went to try to start the HME. It fired right up! I mean within two seconds of hitting the starter button. That was obviously good...not good was that I'd forgot about the still...

In my case it works just fine, the objective being to kill prairie dogs in a different way than simply shooting them. The disadvantage is that it takes extra work, and waiting time, but the result is more spectacular than a simple bullet.

Most of the info is on the main thread (SEE, HMMH, HME). If you haven't plowed through it yet, plan on a few evenings of reading. Keep a note pad handy, too.

Depending on hours and overall condition, $16K may be a bargain these days.

The closest I get to that kind of fun is placing Tannerite by prairie dog holes. And even that is a rare occurrence.

I'd ditch the 10W and put AW 32 in there, too.

The slow reaction of the gauge is normal, unfortunately. Never did get around to check if there's an actual lack of pressure, or just a delayed gauge. It doesn't sound like they're running without pressure...to me anyway. Oh, and the filter on a FLU is positioned correctly, tennmogger, so...

Yeah, I didn't think that the actual drilling and prep work would be all that fun. That's why I would bring a camping chair and an umbrella drink if I ever came to watch you having a blast. Oh, and a handheld CB, just to keep you on your toes.
