HBF84 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Thank you for the informative dialogue! I will certainly lubricate the choke linkage before I start tearing into the carburetor! And, it ran much better today but of course, it was a bit warmer today. Which brings me to this... HBF was enjoying retirement in California and is a bit perturbed that he is working here in Maryland. So, this morning, in the garage, I started up his engine and took a look at the mixing valve. It isn't a heated garage so the air was probably about 40 degrees. And, I took this picture: So, the air entering the carburetor is normal air. I reached inside and flipped the valve so that heated air entered the carburetor. Nothing changed and it ran well this morning. HOWEVER, is this air diversion valve controlled by a bimetallic mechanism or is it vacuum controlled? Does that influence the conversation above? http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/air-cleaners.html Belay my last question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBF84 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 I'm glad it is helping y'all! Well, a bit back someone asked for some pictures on what I was going to fill my "behind the seat" storage unit. Started with sorting out what "roadside tools" it might have come with... Then, loaded it up! The 50 cal ammo can doesn't fit inside the trough but sits along the edge well enough. And, that's my lunch box so easy access to that! The 762 cal ammo cans have chains and tools and a bit too much room to slide around. If I rebuild it one of these days, I will build it to fit the cans a bit better.

Maybe if you sprayed some plasti-dip or put a bit of drawer liner in the bottom your ammo cans and things wouldn't slide around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to use some of the Noico self-adhesive foam insulation for that on mine. That way I can replace it if it gets soiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, last month I tried to straighten my bumper with some cargo straps and didn't get too far. So, I have been thinking, what if I use a jack to try to flatten out one part of the bumper and how will that influence another. I have no auto body experience except the last few months with HBF. Anyhow, I opened up the hood and grabbed the jack and went to work. Jack, cargo straps, and a hammer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBF84 Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 I'm confused. What are you trying to fix on the bumper? It was a bit bent but the pictures do not show it too well. But it wasn't flat and had some creases. With the jack, I elevated one depression. Then using the cargo straps attached to the bumper and stretching to my Jeep, I hammered down an elevation. And, this made the top side of the bumper flat for the first time in 20 years. I would have taken more pictures if I knew I was going to have success! HA!
