    In-Line Coolant Heater Location?

    Good info! Thanks for confirming that a little pressure (very little) is a good plan. It is getting cold here tonight but that is part of the wonder of living in North Carolina. Wait a few days and it will be t-shirt weather again ;-) My shop is the great outdoors and when it is cold and wet...

    In-Line Coolant Heater Location?

    Thanks! Could be loss of prime because it did sit for a while... I need to look at the fuel line situation too I guess. Almost wonder if a rag to restrict the fuel tank fill hole a bit and an air nozzle would make them easier to spot if I have a weak spot in a rubber line...

    In-Line Coolant Heater Location?

    It is strange how it works... The X-10 system does have some age on it, but it still does the job really well. I have it tied to my alarm system too so if it goes off it trips a big honkin relay that turns on floods and spots on all corners of the house. Burned a bunch of brain cells figuring...

    In-Line Coolant Heater Location?

    A lot of these "Home Automation" vendors call them "Appliance Modules". They are good for a coffeemaker, a crockpot or other higher amp draw kitchen appliances. X-10 sells a 15 amp and a 20 amp module. They have the SNAP sound of a 1950's light switch when they power on and off... I have...
