    Radioactive Deuce?

    A quick wash with soapy water and a brush, and all of the fallout will wash right off. Most of it has probably already washed off and gone into the soil due to the rain. -Chuck

    Lack of Sealed Bid Results

    Most probably the idea that GL owns the material before the auction comes from the SF97 forms. They show a price that is listed as GL's cost for the item, and they show GL as the owner of the item. It could just be an accounting convenience, but it sure appears as though GL buys the material...

    Fined for running WMO (not me)

    As plug-in electric and hybrid cars become more common, the state and federal governments will require a GPS based mileage meter that automatically bills you for a road tax based on the number and location of miles you travel. Oregon has already done a successful trial on this. -Chuck

    Pall Fluid Purifier-Anybody know how to use this

    I know nothing about this unit. From the labeling, and the configuration, it appears to be intended to filter and flush out airplane hydraulic systems. It looks like it would be useful for filtering waste motor oil for use as a fuel. What do you intend to use it for? -Chuck

    Kicked out of my own driveway!

    Kicked out of my own driveway!

    Last I looked, Fordham University hats had either a very large "F", or a rams head on them. It's a Jesuit college, I really doubt they would allow a hat with "FU" to be sold on their behalf... You know, decorum, and all that stuff. -Chuck

    She won't start in the cold!

    I have said nothing about adjusting the idle speed screw. I said bring the idle up a little bit. I expected you to do it with the throttle. Whenever your argument requires you to attack the person, rather than the ideas, you have left the debate a loser, and returned to the school playground...

    50/50 mix of used motor oil & E85 in the Deuce?

    I find that E10 reduces the gas mileage in my cars by something more than 10%. To my strange way of thinking, that means that it is not adding any power to my car. If your small engine (eg. lawnmower) lets the E10 contact open air, through a vent in the float bowl, or gas tank, the E10, which...

    She won't start in the cold!

    Good, then you should be happy! Me? I'd take the IP apart and fix it. I never liked doing ritual work arounds, like jiggling the handle on the toilet so it would stop running on. -Chuck

    She won't start in the cold!

    Which will bring the pressure back down, and the idle back down. I thought you had, but I apparently mis-attributed that to you from another post. Sorry. Gladly. I will endeavor to not attribute the ideas of others to you, as well. Pulling out the fuel cutoff knob, with the fuel tank pump...

    She won't start in the cold!

    I'm not trying to sell you on the idea of idling up your deuce to make starting easier. I'm trying to show you a way to prove that fiddling with the engine stop knob isn't what is making your deuce start easier. You are the one that said bringing your idle up, and fiddling with your stop...

    She won't start in the cold!

    Good, then my assumption that you didn't understand what was going on was correct ;-). Sometimes, the Injector Pump's (IP) fuel cutoff valve gets sticky... usually after long periods of disuse. If the cutoff valve was left in the off position, the spring pressure from the governor may be...

    She won't start in the cold!

    Hmmm? Ok... What is your reasoning for pulling the stop engine "lever" before starting again? -Chuck

    She won't start in the cold!

    Your friend told you the essence of deuce starting religion, but either he didn't tell you the whole deal, or you forgot some of it. The deuce has a super high compression ratio compared to most diesels, 22.5-to-1. This allows the MF engine to burn cold gasoline. It has a big and deep...

    Geared Lug Wrench - how NOT to use it & extra info

    A pork chop wrench is a short husky box wrench that is used to hold the outer hex lug nut while you re-tighten the inner square budd nut. The pork chop is short enough that it will swing against an adjacent lug nut and keep the lug nut you are working on from turning. It becomes necessary to...

    Geared Lug Wrench - how NOT to use it & extra info

    Wow! I wouldn't have thought that would break the shoulder bolt... but I can see how it might. I wonder if the shoulder bolt was defective in some way? Putting the body on a jack stand and using the bar against the ground is certainly better from a leverage perspective. I wonder why the PS...

    A Electric Deuce, in a DUMBS (Deep Underground Military Base)?

    How do you keep the zombies out of the ventilator shafts?

    East Coast Convoy/Aberdeen

    What if you have nothing to sell, but you want to bring your deuce, just for the fun of having it there? Do you still buy a space? Or is there a lot set aside for MV's that were brought as transportation? -Chuck
