Wow at the fuel pumps gm! It amazed me how the red hot brake drum just kept igniting the gear oil that was running out past the destroyed seals. You put it out with the extinguisher and it just...
gm, I lit an 18 wheel semi on fire leaving the parking brake on! It was empty and just like you said, I couldn't tell I was pulling right through it. It definitely can happen when you are crawling in...
Wow! Nice Simpson 260! Take it apart and get the batteries out if you haven't already. Even if they have corroded up, you can usually clean them up. The original circuit diagram for the 260 is...
David, leave the adapter on the transmission. Unbolt the adapter from the bell housing.
David, does Hot Mess have a fresh clutch in her? You are all the way there for a new clutch and a flywheel resurface. If you are sure the clutch is good, no big deal. You would hate to get it back...
There is the endorsement from LarrBeard! OK David, next time your in CA if you see a Simpson 250 or 260, don't let it out of your sight!
The 250 I restored had batteries rotted terribly. I was...
You can really do it any way you want David. I strongly prefer assembling the trans and transfer case together, and bolting them to the cross member. Then lift the whole assembly up into place. I...
You bet on the Simpson Multi Meters gm! I have two vintage Simpson 250's. One I inherited from my Dad, and one I was able to restore I bought off the internet. They are the most rugged analog meters...
Always good to have you back David! It definitely looks like the switch is bad. All the importing that is going on now, you don't know where things are coming from or what their quality will be. Our...
Well we did get off track. Good deviation from the grind there. I do enjoy these "wanders"! It is the things our elders leave us, that brings us so much to do.
David, get us back on track how's...
Lovin' all this talk about parents leaving their Sh$# behind! Hahahaha! Guaranteed it is going to happen. and just to make this legitimate for LarrBeard.... Jeep!
Glad you are back David! I think your attempt at activating the switch might be your issue. It is a very small passage that opens to the diaphragm to activate the switch. Here is a link that may shed...
Great photo! Nice fountain. Bad master cylinder.
gm is all over it. Wait for the new master.
Davide, when you were bench bleeding did it settle down and stop squirting? You bench bleed until the fountain goes away. When you were done bench bleeding there should have been no fountains when...
Davide, you always bench bleed a master cylinder regardless of how many ports it has. Cracking a line does not do the same thing. You need the cycling of fluid back and forth, and a full stroke of...
There should not be a "fountain" or stream of fluid squirting out of the reservoir when pressure is on the pedal on any master cylinder.
When you "Bench Bleed" the master, you should run a line...
Upon application of pressure on the brake pedal there will be a small amount of fluid movement in the reservoir. If there is a fountain of fluid whenever there is pressure on the pedal, there is an...
If the fluid is moving that much in the master it has a leak internally, or the valving is bad or installed incorrectly. The cap is vented on all master cylinders to allow for the changes in...
davide, when you press on the pedal does it slowly go to the floor as the fluid squirts out the cap or, does it squirt a bit and stop with a solid pedal?
Hahahaha! I have heard many people ask me "where were you when God passed out the patience?" Same answer every time, "I stepped out of line because I couldn't wait!"
Something about hearing them...
Don't do that either davide. Hahaha, your going to think I am nagging you! The speedometer gear is a slip fit on the output shaft. When installing the yoke it will press up against the gear and hold...
I don't think so, you may not want to do that. If the transfer case is not on the back of the trans (T84 or T90), the lube will definitely come out the back. There is a transfer hole for lube as well...
Priming the carb via the bowl vent is a good way to avoid excessive cranking. Put a few oz of fuel down the vent, pump it a few times and it should fire right up. If there is no fuel supply it will...
I would say it is pretty common for a fuel pump to go bad when sitting a long time. The diaphragms and valves dry out and fail. Check the oil and make sure it isn't leaking fuel past the diaphragms...
Just like brand new! I thought those would turn out nice. You had a great starting part.
