I finally got a chance to look on my shelf and see what the name of that radiator cleaner was. It was called "Core Restore". The guy was in Warren Michigan. I can't seem to find him on the web now. I think he might have gone out of business. I'm a little sad because he had a good product.

I use baking soda in the large bag to keep the PH level in our pool in the right range. LOL It's much cheaper than what the pool store charges for the same thing in a different bag. I don't think the baking soda will hurt any metal, but the vinegar over time will It's actually an acid. I...

Yes, I know what you mean. I had to measure the threads and size. I think what I needed for the 3k unit was 10-32 but I wasn't sure if I needed left hand threads or not. they were pretty cheap and I ordered both. I thought about seeing what is on my 002A unit. I would guess they are the...

He wouldn't share the ingredients with me because he said if I knew, then I could make it myself. It must be a pretty basic available chemical. If memory serves, this guy was some kind of chemical engineer and really knew his stuff. Many years ago I used a Dupont product that was very acidic...

That's pretty sweet! I got to get me one of those!

One end of my governor linkage on my 016B was broken. I order some replacements from McMaster Carr, I believe is the name of the company. They aren't very expensive and they have most all sizes and thread types in stock.

Wow, that laundry list sounds like what I did to get my 016B going. Sounds like you did good on that one. Oh by the way, you mentioned cleaning the cooling system. I found a product that does an in credible job on that. There's an individual guy up north that makes it. I've spoken to him on...

LOL, I just ordered 5 more aerosol cans from the guy on ebay for $10 per can plus $15 shipping. I was almost out of the stuff. I tell you what that stuff works miracles on rusted and/or frozen hardware. Spray it and let it set a few minutes and then start working it and I bet it will free up...

I believe you can buy the red scotchbrite at the grocery store in the section where they keep pot scrubbers. I know you can get the milder green scotchbrite there. You should be able to get it at home depot in the paint section also. I know you can get it at the autobody supply dealer. I...

Well, how do you like that? LOL Never hurts to study the wiring schematics.

I know that thing looks pretty knarly, but you might be able to clean it up with some red scotchbrite. I would expect the contacts to be brass, silver coated or possibly even gold coated. That should clean up. If you can get the crud out of it so mechanically it can move, then you might be...

Just curious but did you check the resistance of the windings of the pump that won't run vs one that does? Also check the resistance between the windings and the frame. I didn't see you note that you also checked the ground. It could possibly be stuck and whacking it a few times with...

If you were still connected to incoming shore power and then connected your generator to power your house, You could have been back feeding power to your neighbors. By the same token, one of your neighbors could have done the same as you and fired up a generator while still connected to shore...

I pressure washed mine yesterday and did touch up painting. I believe my little seepage is from the remote oil drain hose. It looks like it's been pinched a time or two and it has no clamps on it either. I only leaks if it's been run for a while and warmed the oil. This unit will be for sale...

Congratulations on a job well done. I know that makes you feel good to have that project behind you.

You're exactly right no the accuracy. The tolerances in the xray suites were also + - 1 mm. That was more much more accurate than a straight laser and much cheaper than a rotating laser, at least at that time. There's another good use for tubing and that is to track down noises. You can...

I looked under my 016b yesterday. There are a few places that thing can leak. One in particular is the hose to the remote oil drain. I didn't see any clamps on it. I'm going to pressure wash it today. Once it is completely clean, I'll be able to tell you more.

On thing, if you do need to remove the batteries and take them to the house to charge them, you can connect them in parallel to the charger and at least charge both at one time. I would also install a battery disconnect switch on the ground so you can be sure a current draw is not draining...

That should be correct. Slightly high with no load so under load it should be just right.

I never thought of using this method to get an indirect compression bypass test, but I did use a long piece of clear tubing for a level when I installed xray suites. I kept a piece of tubing that was about 30 feet long, fill most of it with water, and then you can use that to level any point of...
