That’s a good possibility too. Especially if it was parked with E-10 in the gas tank.

Nice looking jeep. The picture even posted right side up which better than most of my attempts!
To go with the above idea I’ll throw in a possible air leak. Possibly a crack in the intake that allows more air in when it warms up.
Another boat “crank” story: the same guy a couple weeks later...
By “cranks”, do you mean it starts and/or runs?
edit: I get a little cranky on some of this stuff. I got called out on a service call a short while back. The call was motor wouldn’t crank so I...
I found this picture. The post indicated there should be a serial number on the frame at the red circle. They were discussing a 1958 CJ5.
11451
This looks a lot better than the holes through the floor my CJ5 had.
Better off saving those lottery ticket dollars. I have been playing the lottery most of my adult life. I played every powerball drawing for a couple of years. Now it’s just a couple of times a year...
If you mean the new Warns, I bought mine at my local NAPA 4-5 years ago. They were also available on Amazon then. I haven’t looked recently.
I replaced an old set of Dualmatics with new Warns. Haven’t done any serious off roading with these but Warns I had on other vehicles never gave me any trouble.
KW also sells them:

Personally, I have never cared for nutserts. It may just be my experience with aluminum aircraft structures but I consider them unreliable. Even the ones with tabs don’t hold their position very long...
Just a thought… I have had batteries go bad in multimeters. The results can be rather interesting and unpredictable. The first one showed 250v on a nail in the siding of my house. It turned out the...
I thought I would post pictures of flux core vs. gas shielded wire feed welding. The welds in both pictures show the welder doesn’t really have a clue but they were both done with the same machine...
Sheetmetal brakes are handy. Back when I could afford to buy welders, I also bought a 4 foot box and pan brake with radial fingers and a shear from Mittler Brothers. Very nice tools and much more...
I have bought a lot from KW. I agree about them having good customer service although I get better technical support in this forum.
I screwed up years ago. I turned in my original brake master cylinder in to NAPA for a core. Got back a foreign piece of junk that didn’t quite fit the mount holes. It works but it has always...
The alloy of the stainless makes a huge difference. So does the cleanliness of the metal. I was practicing on stainless hose clamps before trying to tig weld a stainless exhaust. The exhaust broke...
All we had was a stick welder when I took high school shop. College introduced me to oxy for welding but I dropped the course. Not a wire feed welder in sight back there. I don’t even remember seeing...
I bought mine at NAPA around 2003. It sits folded up in the corner too much which is why the valve has gotten sticky. I have used it to lift a lot of things. I have even used it as a jack but I don’t...
I remembered a couple more pluses to tig. It is possible to weld without filler metal. I needed to repair a shop door latch by capping a 3/8” rod with a washer yesterday. I used the tig torch heat up...
Sounds like me last winter. I must have been sick half a dozen or more times. Last winter was the first time I had skipped the flu shot in probably 30 years. I didn’t have a choice in the military...
The check valve in my hoist has started sticking a little. It acts like there isn’t any oil in it but it starts working if I tap on the pump a little. I was thinking about cleaning valve but an...
I’m just a novice, self taught welder. Personally, I find flux core messy. More splatter and residue around the weld than when using solid wire with gas. It’s handy when the bottle is empty or you...
I like it!
I lived in Marysville for many years and had no idea I was that close to the trail until after I sold my ‘69 Bronco and was down to a small 2wd pickup and a street bike.
