60+ year old thread.

Morning Charlie, Dave and Jim ...Don't need a dog with a flatulence problem Charlie, I produce enough of it myself...
Been really fortunate with the power in my area, in the 12 years I have been here we only lost power once for a day and then got it back. Worse comes to worse I will go to one of the kids houses and make a royal pain in their asses like they used to do to me.
Hey Jim, any pups yet

 

About a week away on the pups. She was up & down all night last night so it might be sooner then later

 

Best of luck to you and the missus. Plenty of pictures coming...

 

Going to the vet. Mon. A.M.. Last check up before pups. Both the last two runts turned out to be full size , nice looking & smart.
Spent all morning on the truck washing & waxing, cleaning the insides. Ill be busy for the next 2 Mo.'s or so...

 

72 Years old. Yesterday, ordered my new 2015 Tacoma Limited, 4x4, Pyrite Mica to replace my recently sold 1997 T100, which was purchased new. That T100 never had any reliability issue other than normal maintenance, brakes, tires, etc. Hope this Tacoma is as reliable!!!

 

Welcome to the thread George. Congrats on the new Tacoma...Hang around and enjoy the crowd...

 

enjoy it Mike

My subdivision is wierd... have gas lines that go past the house to supply the back (lines were in before my house was built) but NONE of the houses in the front part have anything gas. yet the back, most of the places have at least gas water heaters

evening Carl

how's Charlie today?

Ummmm no thanks. change her food? I had to change Annies... bought one bag of lamb and rice and HATED life for the month or so it took her to eat it. Changed to a different meat, and have had no issues since

Pretty!!! on the comment

welcome

evening boys

 

Good evening all.

Nice clean up on the Tacoma Jim.

 

Evening all:
Welcome to a couple of new guys!

Just got back from the river and GOT SKUNKED! The young guy landed 7, and had at least as many hits. Oh well; that makes up for the 12-4 night that was in my favor!

 

Morning all:
Tank insurance? That's the first time I heard of that.
Guess they have to squeeze every penny out of us that they can.

 

Welcome!

And thank you for your service.

Me either on tank insurance, but it makes sense and of course anything to get deeper in your pocket.

Morning to all the Cool Old Dudes and Susan. Hope all are well.

 

Morning Cool Younger(by not too many years) Rob...and all. Came out of the local Dicks Sporting Goods yesterday and my heart started racing and I had all I could do to get my camera out...I wanted to take her for a ride but the owner was nowhere around...I should have saved my lunch money when I was a kid

 

Morning Ken.

That's a beautiful Vette.

 

Hey Charlie. Hope the pain level is getting more manageable.

Yep, insurance makes sense to me; none of that clean-up work comes cheap.

 

In the timeless words of Mr. Rogers, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood." Morning all.

 

Afternoon all.
Been tinkering with blowers today.
Working on the backup with the carb problem.
Did something i never do and bought a 5 dollar bottle of snake oil.
suppose to remove varnish and deposits in a carb.
I knew i had to rebuild it so no big deal. It couldn't hurt.
so this thing would surge and misfire.
I put some in the tank with enough fuel for 10 min. Wanted it super strong.
ran it. Added A full tank and put a little more snake oil in it.
I don't believe it. runs much better and starts so much easier.
don't know if it will last but, i'm going to try it. No surging right now.

pic 1 Custom made a few bolts to secure the starter.

Pic 2 is the walk behind crew ready to go.

 

What brand of snake oil did you use? On most forums, they brag up SeaFoam.

 

It's called " Mechanic In A Bottle".
Says it revitalizes rubber, cleans carbon,cleans varnish, which is what I was going after since I think the main jet was dirty.
Wanted to try a fill and forget cure.
Should be interesting. With all the ethanol isssus small engine have we have so stay after them. I always use stable in every small engine and I will mix in a little race fuel from time to time. So this backup sat I think without it. With no adj carb in it the passages need to me perfect just to run kinda ok. I constantly look for old adj carbs and I'll grab one when I need to. Way to many variables not to be able to adj them. Sooooooooo stupid they are sealed. So I drill them out when I need to.

 

that'll teach me to forget exactly where i ran my sprinkler line thought it was a foot over

Hope you gents had a better afternoon than I did
