Hi Jim, Thanks for the link; I see your point. Best regards, Stan

Thanks, Jerry I was surprised fuel consumption was not higher, since I got to 50% load a few times when several baseboard electric heaters fired up simultaneously. Freq was rock steady, even ran computers and flat screen TV. Damage to the house has all been fixed; I was happy to have a $500...

Wow indeed! I've never before seen a piston trashed that bad! It's great that you got her running! Sandy really drew a bead on my house. All of the damage here in NW NJ was from high winds. We saw gusts of at least 70 MPH. I lost a really big Colorado blue spruce tree which uprooted...

Hi LuckyDog, Thinking too much is impossible, unless it leads to paralysis. First, consider the pros and cons of repairing vs. parting out/junking. If you decide to repair, consider each repair option in terms of cost, effort, risks and required vs. available resources and then decide which...

No jugs. Both 003a and 002a have a monoblock design, with crankcase and cylinders all incorporated into an integrated casting. However, from the photos and from the observation LuckyDog made that he could not catch a fingernail in the vertical marks on the cylinder walls, it does not appear...

LuckyDog, I still have that 003A short block from my original GL purchase that "ate" the nut in the gearbox. It was a recent Tier 2 reset with only about 2 hours on the Hobbs, and the cylinder bores are perfect. It even appeared to have new pistons. I was considering keeping it for spare...

Hi LuckyDog, Thanks for testing the compression testing adaptor I made for you, and for letting us all know it works OK. Is there any change that can be made to the adapter design to prevent the need to partly remove the intake manifold when installing it in the #2 cylinder head, or is this...

LuckyDog, This is a very professional looking, comprehensive drawing. You have a PM. Best regards, Stan

Hmmm...I think you might see pressure without a check valve if you used a pressure gauge able to react quickly enough to the pressure pulse from the compression stroke, but this pulse might be of such short duration while running the starter motor that even if you had a guage that could react...

Hi LuckyDog, I can make an adaptor if you can post a drawing that illustrates precisely what you have in mind. It might take a couple weeks since I only do machining in my spare time. Best regards, Stan
