My wife just pronounced me "stinky".
We had a fairly warm day in NoGa so I've been out working on the Deuce.
I had a couple of oil (motor, one ea.) leaks and a couple of fuel leaks that I worked on ... nothing major but stuff I wanted to tidy up.
I have often found you don't need a lot of diesel to make a lot of odor.
Generally speaking ... ladies do NOT like the smell of diesel. Since I'm all filled with testosterone from working on cast iron a OD paint ... I'm gonna have to take a shower ... and apply a couple drops of Hoppes #9 behind each ear .... and in a couple *special* places.
soanyoldways ... one of the other things I looked over was my directional signals ... which do NOT work. I pulled the lights apart ... and found a couple bad ground connections ... just loose rivets which I drilled out and replaced with screws and nuts ...
I replaced a couple of bulbs (24vdc) but still no good ... I pulled the switch apart ... and found a crappy set of contacts at the "power" wire (I'm to lazy to go to the manual and check the connection number) ... which I cleaned up with a points file.
I've traced the problem to the flasher unit. And found that the dang this is FILLED WITH EPOXY AND UNSERVICEABLE.
???
WHO THE heck DESIGNED THIS THING ... FORD?
Something ELSE I got to buy.
soanyoldways ... I stink.
But I had a GREAT day futzing around the old gal.
Definitely a good day, well spent.
