What are you currently working on??
- Thread starter backwoods
- Start date
Did that back in the 80's to my old Cutlass, poured some water down the carb to "steam clean" the engine internals.
I was thinking about a Windex bottle with water in it, fire it up, take air filter off, put it on full throttle and start spraying into the carb
Not really as there's a cover over the air inlet to keep snow from getting in
Pour some Berryman b12 down the carb and give it the old Italian tune up.
Put hub caps on the front of the C141 Wheel Horse. Cub Cadet hub caps. Did'nt have the exact size washer they snap over so I machinsed two of them. Took two oversized washers, bolted them togetger. Chucked the bolt in th drill press. Ran the drill and used a 4" grinder on the washers as they spun around. Kinda crude but it worked. Got the O. D. I needed.

I detest Onans, I've had nothing but issues since I bought the FF24. I replaced/rebuilt the entire fuel system last summer, new points/condenser also. Ran good just a couple months ago. Took forever to get to start and idle, now it won't take the fuel. I think it's ignition related. I think I'll replace condenser and grab some new plugs and see it that helps.
If it lets air in it lets fine snow in also. I froze up a paper filter by not taking it out.
Very little. With the exhaust heat in the cover box, any snow will be melted before it gets drawn in
Got my GT16 ariens that reluctantly had to spend this past winter outside, fired up today. Took a little grinding on the starter to draw gas in enough to fire.
Got to take the remnants of the departed rear mount tiller off of the back, swap the bar treads off for the turfs and mount the deck back under and try it out for the season.
This is one of my better GTs but due to recent space consideration and loss of storage I'm afraid it may have to go down the road.

I just found you another one. Local mower shop has one in the back room. Gonna go up for sale on a mechanic’s lien. Owner has left it there for over a year and no longer lives in the area.wouldn’t pay the bill or answer his phone/texts.
I needed some clip nuts to finish up on my Wheel Horse C141.
Ordered some yesterday on Amazon. They showed up today.
Got them installed and tried to button up the covers.
Couldn’t get a bolt to start in them.
I order3 1/4-20. Turns out they are M6x1.
Was a little teed off. Managed to get a 1/4-20 tap through the ones I needed
Have the covers on now.
Got on Amazon and left negative feedback.

Yeah I guess since they were talking about spraying water in to blow carbon out the snowblower subject came up. Pretty obvious it would melt first.

I have run into that before on Amazon stuff. Got a fuel pump today that is supposed top be 3-5lb output. Will check it tomorrow and if it is higher it goes back.
And get sucked in as water. Back to score one.
Interesting.
Friday at work I went to plug in my AC black light
(Basically a "stream light" brand, 3 AAA battery size, (what used to be called "penlight size) it was stone dead as this was the first time this season having someone come in with an AC complaint. It never charged a bit. Here Monday still dead.
Saturday I went to use my MAC timing light that I've had for 20+ years and the tach side works but the flashing strobe was dead. Tried it on all 8 plug wires to eliminate the possibilities of a bad plug wire. This on my son's 72 fury wagon with a 318. He's played with it by ear and won't listen to me and put a light on it, he's got it so advanced that it kicks back against the starter and he's left it here a few days so I wanted to dial it in.
My timing light like my AC light is dead. Both worked the last time used.
I need both replaced as between him and me we have 4 vehicles that I can still actually use a timing light for. I have a snap on one I'm bidding on on feebay. I got a feeling I'm gonna lose it at my current offer, seeing what others like this one are listed for there....
The last time I used that was last year either in my slant 6 truck or my buddy's 440 powered motor home. Don't remember which of those I did first. But played with both in the last 6-8 months. And my timing light worked fine on both
And I do a whole lot of AC at work so I'm gonna have to replace that too.
I think either me or my son has my dad's old timing light but it doesn't have the built in advance. I need that.
Might have to dig out my old snap on ignition scope if I lose this one I'm bidding on...
Id like to sell this scope and find a SUN scope probably a 1015
A 1215 is nice too but takes up even more space than the 1015 would. I like the raster and superimpose function better on the sun than what my snap on has.... Which itself was a CL buy about 10-12 years ago... don't know what it is about everything breaking all at once, hate to think what's next
