Hang in there Dan. The next time you get discouraged just walk away from the project and take a breather.

So what is the time interval between fails? Does it run only a few minutes before failure or days? Hypothetically if your engine mounts were bad and torque is causing your engine to move around a...

I would say if you can mount it elsewhere then do so. Saving it from the vibrations of the engine would be beneficial. But, I have had a fairly new solenoid fail. You never can tell.

Can you pull the spark plug and run a piece of coat hanger or similiar down the hole and touch the piston? Then watch the hanger move up or down. Make sure the hanger is long enough that it can't...

The inner bearing doesn't need any gaskets, orings or silicone.

Don't put a gasket between the flanges. Instead use a light bead of silicone. But do put a gasket and silicone between the flange and tub.

That's normal. When you tighten the flanges they will secure the bearing. Go to the parts store and get 6 o rings - that will fit the outer circumference of the bearing. It will help prevent water...

I've had bands re lined by transmission crafters of Albany Georgia.

Good fix. Glad you got your problem solved.

Thanks AJ. I have come and gone already. Stopover in utica, NY, headed to Pittsburgh NH for some fly fishing.

It's a small world. I'll be passing through Ashtabula today on the way to Niagara falls. I wish I had realized this and planned some time to stop and visit. Yall have fun and be safe.

Thank you Bob for keeping this site alive!

Sorry to hear. I will lift up his family in prayer. What was his screen name?

MJ sorry to hear you are having problems. Those flange things at the transmission you were manipulating by hand are called the diamond shifters, as the flange is in a diamond shape.

With the...

This is neat. I wish you all the best in this endeavor.

Generators do not provide a constant charge. The faster they spin the more they charge, thus you see the needle move as rpm's increase. As a side note, an alternator provides constant charge.

Sounds like you are having a great time "getting to know" your machine. You will be thrilled to take that first ride.

One place many people have trouble is with the belt tension and alignment. ...

JB pull the starter and take it apart. The brushes could be bad.

Sounds like the cable froze since turning on the heat helped. Perhaps it has finally accumulated enough moisture in the cable that freezing is a problem. Although in Mississippi that is not really...
