    Inventors

    If you have an invention in your head, do the work to make it and patent it! I know that there are guys out there that have inventive minds. I just recently ordered a wire feed solder gun, an idea that I had many, many years ago! I don't know how long they have been made but I bet that I thought...

    Furnace

    Well, the transformer came today to replace the one damaged by 240V. I installed it but the furnace would not work! This was strange because I tested the furnace with a varyac transformer at 24 volts and it worked perfectly. The new transformer puts out 27 volts, so I thought maybe that...

    Electrical

    I had 2 neutral wires come loose in a breaker box and it put 240 volts on my furnace and a light circuit! The house had been completely rewired a couple of years before I bought it. The electrician had run out of neutral screws and put 2 neutral wires under one neutral screw, one from each...

    Front end alignment

    I have a 82 Toyota that started to wear the left side tire on the inside. I checked the tow and it was towed out just a little. I reset the tow in, to about a 8th inch, but I doubt that was the problem. I used a plumb Bob and I see that the left strut is about a half inch ahead of the right one...

    Update on 92 Plymouth Colt Vista

    Thanks everyone who made suggestions. I found the problem was a bad connection to the air flow sensor, I hope anyway. I unplugged the airflow sensor and the air temperature sensor and it ran perfect! So I sprayed the contacts and plugged it back in. Then It threw a code that said high resistance...

    92 Plimouth Colt Vista

    Well, I think maybe the computer went bad. The problem is when you floor the gas pedal, the engine goes full power and then nothing over and over. I first thought it was starving for gas but I checked and it pumps a couple of cups in only seconds. The pressure is at 45 pounds even when the...

    92 Plimouth Colt Vista

    The engine used to start almost immediately but now it takes like 5 or 10 revolutions, but it runs good after it starts. Gas mileage is down too. from 28 down to 23. Engine lite does not work so I checked the bulb and it is good. There is no voltage to the lite either with the key on and engine...

    Generator project

    I finally figured out what was wrong with the new 6.5 motor. A gasket was on backwards! And I went on a wild goose chase trying to figure out a simple problem. For those that don't know, this was a new engine that I welded the shaft a half inch longer and then tapered it to adapt to a generator...

    6.5 Harbour freight engine

    This is a new engine that I welded up the crankshaft and turned a taper to fit a generator. So, I filled it with oil and gas and it should run, right? Wrong. I got it to run only by shooting gas in the carb. It ran enough to tell that the generator works. I found that there is a air leak...

    Tools you can make on a lathe

    Can you guess what the two tools are that I made? A friend showed me this trick of pressing on a nut onto a tap in a vice! I needed this the other day when I couldn't get a tap wench on in a tight place.

    550 Ford backhoe

    Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 550 ford backhoe? My email is open! Thanks! I have no voltage to the fuel gauge or the temperature gauge. I found a resistor and I'm wondering if the voltage goes from that to the gauges?

    Update on 92 plymouth colt Vista air conditioner

    Well the new harmonic balancer came and I installed it and a new belt today. I also put on a shut off valve on the heater hoses. What a difference! Before the shut off valve, the air was only kinda cool; now, would you believe 46 degrees? Now that summer is almost over, I have cold air! Ha This...

    Tubbing bender

    I finally broke down and bought a tubbing bender after kinking who knows how many lines over the years.Now that I'm old, I finally have almost enough tools to work with! I haven't used it yet so I don't know how well it works, but it sure has a nice paint job!

    Air conditioner belt 92 Plymouth Colt vista

    Well the belt arrived today and a half hours work to put it on, right, wrong! Remember the good old days when harmonic damper pulleys didn't fall apart? So now I ordered a new pulley and wait another week before it comes. It's amazing that the alternator and power steering pump still worked! A...

    92 plymouth colt

    My air conditioner was kinda working, but not real cold air. Now the belt broke and I think I know why the air wasn't real cold. The heater doesn't shut off all the way! It was hot yesterday and the heater was putting out hot air! There is a cable that goes to the heater and it moves ok and...

    Motor for generator

    Crazy idea. I have a generator that is good but the motor is bad. I also have a new 6 HP harbor freight motor that I bought for another project that has been setting for a long time. The crank is about3/4 inch too short.I. was thinking that I could weld a short bolt on the end of the crankshaft...

    550 Ford backhoe

    I am having problems getting this started after I cleaned the filter in the pump. Please don't tell me that I shouldn't have removed the pump!I put a gauge on it and it has 9 pounds pressure cranking. I think I might have turned the pump drive gear when I removed the pump. I can easily tell when...

    550 Ford backhoe

    I have the injection pump off and I cleaned the filter. It was about half plugged up. I hope this fixes the lack of power. How can I turn the pump up for more power? Do the springs that control the delivery pump pressure have anything to do with changing the power? I ported and polished the head...

    550 Ford backhoe

    I am trying to get the injection pump off. It only comes out about a half inch. I have had it off before but I can't remember how I got it off. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

    550 Ford backhoe

    Someone sabotaged my backhoe by putting dirt in the fuel tank! I found a LOT OF dirt in the filter. Now even with clean fuel and good fuel flow, it barely has any power. I suspect that dirt somehow got into the injection pump. Do you think the pump is ruined? I'm going to try to clean it...
