Sam Neil was a major character in Peaky Blinders. He played the guy trying to bring down the gang. His acting was good, but his irish accent didn't seem correct to me.
I believe there was a spec for piston to cylinder wall clearance, as well as a taper of the cylinder max. If those are not in spec, it is likely the piston will lose a ring or seize.
That should work. Using the fuel line to empty the tank will be a bit tricky as the tank level gets low. You might extend the fuel line and place the primer bulb at the far end of it, so you can get the siphon going, and then remove the bulb to allow faster flow. Alternatively, an electric...
Just an update. It appears the float was stuck in the empty position, after I drained all the fuel last fall. After bouncing her around after launch, it works perfect.
Usually, alternators bilge pumps and Mer Cathodes bypass the battery switches.
Alternators have diodes which can short to ground. The test is to check resistance from battery pos cable to ground, with the battery switch off. You should have infinite resistance on the Rx1 scale. If you do...
Gee, most often when I had to resort to using the "Cheater Pipe", I broke the bolt. Last time was on my car's disk brake caliper support.
Luckily a propane torch broke the bolt (or what was left of it) loose and I turned it out with a vice grip.
Now using a vice grip may not be an old...
For the younger guys, RPN is Reverse Polish Notation. It was a way of ordering operators and operands to allow calculations by early computers and calculators. It kinda reminds me of roman numerals, where IV is four and VI is six.
The SR-50 was a great calculator. It had more capability than...
Gee, I was one of the last generation to use a slide rule. I would recognize it, but I doubt I can remember how to use it. Calculators became cheap, and killed it off.
An electric fuel pump would need to shut off if the motor stalls, for safety. Normally this done with a relay on the voltage regulator, plus some other wiring.
For example, let's say a fuel line to the carbs starts to leak. If the leak is bad enough the motor will stall, and the electric...
Gee, it sounds like they finally got enough monkeys to learn to type and are expecting Shakespeare. It that was a human response, a trip to the local shrink would be in order.;
Gee, the VST is real simple. It fills with fuel and gravity feeds the OMS pump. Have you replaced the VST cover gasket and float and inlet needle? Is it cracked? Have you rebuilt the vapor pump?
