what a waste of time reading the posts i missed. good to see Hoss is still around. great avatar Creator, but it really belongs with Hoss.

so i see you kind folk helped MD solve his problem...here's mine. I gotta Sears 2-stroke rototiller. it's about 32cc, uses 24:1 fuel. so it wouldn't run. i tore apart the tiny little carb, tried cleaning it out.it really was gummed up with old 2-stroke fuel. the diaphram rubber was all gum. a couple of gaskets tore too. i got it to start after, but it kept getting starved for fuel. now, it won't start at all, UNLESS i dump a little fuel directly into the cylinder. so, is it possible this diaphram pump helps pump the fuel, or gets it sucking the fuel in? here's the worst part: carb kit is $70, gasket kit is $30.... but gasket set includes the diaphram and pump. so what's wrong?

 

On my 2 stroke weed wacker the plunger bulb is kind of like a fuel bowl too. mine had a tiny hole in it and it wouldnt work.

After reading about your wheel bearings i got paranoid and pulled the 4 wheels off my trailer saturday. 8 bearings, 1 bad one. Ordered it yesterday and it will be here today. Get it on tonight, the rest got cleaned and re greased.

 

I saw that and just had to grab it. Yes, it should belong to Hoss and that who I thought about when I saw it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

LJ I told your those HS ATRs weren't a mud tire. Come on, look at em! Sheesh. The XT has some mud tires.

Trasher...that icon is TFF. At first I saw something new but didn't pay attention to it until someone mention hoss them I LMFAO.

Had to run up to Tracy yesterday. Get the call at 2PM that some wire we were pulling in 500 kcmil (about 1" in diameter) had some bad spots. It was like 150' into the pipe...no way was it going to be pulled back out. Anways....HOLY COW was it windy. I waved to MWQ as I flew past the Newman exit (at somewhere between 80 & 90...hey, I was keeping up with traffic...the rigs had to be running 70 over there!) Pulled into into the driveway at home at 9pm. I left Tracy at 6 and did the speed limit coming home.

LMFAO. I just got the call...I'm going back. Oh how the gas companies love us! See ya'all later.

This week I'm in SD but next Tues-Thurs I'll be in AZ. I would be glad to check on them if needed. Just let me know where and what info you need.

 

Well, I'm back. Took a different route up and made maybe a little better time. But not enough to justify 70+ on a 55 MPH 2-lane county rd (Ave 7 and 7-1/2 to Firebaugh and whatever it is between Firebaugh and I-5). I'd rather take my chances of 70 in 65 and dealing with Los Banos on 152.

I think we need to pitch in and by MD a raft for when he's patrolling...came through his neck of the woods on the way back (didn't know that I-205 only goes to I-5 North, and not I-5 South...but anyways) and got caught in a friggin torential rainstorm. Freeway was bumper to bumper at 2pm at 40 MPH.

Boy, the wholesale house isn't gonna be happy when the boss backcharges them. This time they had one leg of (out of 3, well, then there's the ground) about 30' shorter than the others. WTH? Morons. Two trips up there. Figure that's 300 miles round trip each time, getting about 18MPG @ 2.40/gal of gas. Hell, it was like $80 in gas alone. Not including 10 hrs of my time (just for driving time alone!)

Five hours drive one way. sounds like my job at times[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

No non no. 2.5 each way...well...if I uhhh...MD...don't read this on the job...if I did the speed limit. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I made it up today in 2:10. It's like 150 miles, or so. Maybe 140. Don't recall exactly. Came home on a route that's like 130 miles (assumption based on how far I am from Lathrop (120 miles).

Well, I think we are back to being the 2nd longest thread. Looks like they finally stuck the fork in the Spin Zone. I got a message that it had been moved and it came back with an error. A link to it also came up with an error.
