    Delco 10 SI question

    I was just thinking about that, my first battery charger was an electric motor and alternator on some angle iron pieces. Also served as an alternator test stand. a couple of bolts and it was swapped. Easy, especially because it could be sitting on the bench.

    Ingersoll Carburetor Troubles.

    Make sure the fuel lines are flexible and seal on the fittings well. Also, if that one has a pulse line it must be airtight also, cracks in it on the ends will stop it from pumping.

    American made tools from the 50's & 60's.

    Best 1/2" ratchet I've ever owned was a Penncraft. Finally started slipping about 10 years ago, after over 50 years of use. And like another reply suspected, it was an SKWayne.

    Ingersoll Carburetor Troubles.

    Yes, if not, test as mentioned above. Sometimes I can't hear them, hearing issues, but place you finger on it and you can feel it easily.

    Ingersoll Carburetor Troubles.

    Could be either. Easy to test, just rig a jumper wire direct from the battery to the solenoid connector. You should hear and feel it snap back. If it does, the check the wiring, or ignition switch.

    Ingersoll Carburetor Troubles.

    If the 'brass thing' had a wire connected that's probably the fuel solenoid. It plugs the main jet when not powered, retracted.

    Ingersoll Carburetor Troubles.

    If your3014 is one of the later 2cyl briggs engined models, it probably has a fuel shut off solenoid on the carb. It must retract when the key is on to keep it running. Tapping the carb could cause an intermittent one to work. Just a guess.

    Amarillo

    When I saw the title, the first thing to enter my mind was 'up from San Antone'. Not Antonio, but like in the song.

    USA Tools

    The best 1/2"drive ratchet I've ever had was a Penncraft. Really small round head with fairly fine teeth for the time. It finally wore out about 10 years ago. Just for fun because I was in the local Penny's store asked about the lifetime warranty. Bear in mind this thing was bought in the...

    Cub cadet 7305 wheel bolt pattern

    Or, outside of one to inside of the other. No other math needed, and is pretty easy to do accurately with a digital caliper.

    Vom recommendations

    So true. I have a truly full auto meter, forgot the brand but, really good one. Anyway, it is limited in what it measures, but does ac/dc volts and ohms. Not buttons to push, selection to make, anything, just go to work with the leads. But, I was working on my trailer turn signals. It...

    Changing oil

    I use two good floor jacks, located at the jack/lift points located close by the rear of the front wheels on most all unit bodies, lower a-frames on some and under the axle on really old or big stuff. A couple of jack stands for safety. Can usually get plenty of room that way. Does take of...

    Vanguard 35hp no vacuum pulse from manifold

    Replying to my own post. I've had some Vanguards but all 16/18hp. I think they had the pump attached to the valve cover/crankcase vacuum/pulse.. I should have said that the airflow pulse in the intake may not be strong enough to drive the pump as I didn't realize the bigger ones were...

    Chard Coffee grounds in concrete

    It is likely due to the sugar in the Coke. A very small amount of sugar added will slow it down. A little too much and it'll never set. Didn't know that until very recently when I ran across that info somewhere. Never tried it myself, but really wish I known that years ago as I could have...

    Vanguard 35hp no vacuum pulse from manifold

    I don't understand how a pulse pump would ever work off the intake manifold? There is no pulse there, ever. At least no engine I've ever worked on had anything but a constant vacuum, varies with speed and load but always a vacuum. Just in case someone notices, yes I know turbos are...
