    generator is hunting violently

    Well at the moment I'm looking at first attaching an ax fuel tank with fresh fuel. If that does not fix it I will wait out this storm and go after it once I won't need it for a while. I think I will disassemble the carb and clean it up good. I have dug up a service manual for the engine that...

    generator is hunting violently

    Sounds like a pain to diagnose. Think I can use the choke to make it run through this upcoming storm.

    generator is hunting violently

    I cleaned out the carb as well I could but still no fix. That's what I thought but I guess I might have not gotten all the junk out.

    generator is hunting violently

    It's a husky 5kw with a Robin/Subaru ex 30 engine. I am tempered to get rid of it for something like a mep002a if I see one pop up around me for the right price

    generator is hunting violently

    Recently tried to start my gas generator, not military but I figure you guys can help anyway. I started it with the choke on and then flipped over to run and it hunts rpm violently. Basically from an idea to full speed back to idle. I then took the choke and put it on about 90% and it clears...

    Bobbed deuce and the rear axle hop.

    Hello all, I am sure if you are the owner of a bobbed deuce you have experienced the awful rear end hop if you start slipping on a hill. I myself had the idea get some custom made that were softer and use airbags if you need to haul a heavy load, any ideas on where/what cost might be to have...

    Low air pressure warning buzzer drives me crazy.

    Well, i see your points and its probably best to leave it on, but i will probably replace it with a warning that is less obnoxious, but still easily noticeable over the earth shattering sound the deuce makes.

    Low air pressure warning buzzer drives me crazy.

    i see your point, i could make a little gadget to make a bright red light flash right behind the steering wheel, me having adhd would find it difficult to not notice that within seconds of it going off.

    Low air pressure warning buzzer drives me crazy.

    Hey guys, is there a way to disable the low pressure buzzer and make it just, say turn on a light on the dash to tell me *low pressure don't drive or you will die rolling off a cliff because your brakes are up to pressure yet*? thanks!

    Pics of Hood Locks?

    I think a hidden fuel valve is one of the best. If it were me i would A: install a hidden fuel valve, perhaps in a locked compartment! B: Chain the steering wheel C: Parking brake lock so it is hard to pull it away. D: good old fashion door locks! E: install a valve in the exhaust so if the...
