I was thinkin' the one I was talkin' about was in New Hampshire. Hancock?

Is "Tundra" the Jim I'm thinkin' about?

I sure wish somebody could convince Jim to come back. I sure miss his pictures! If it wasn't for Other Dog, I would be in serious withdrawal right about now!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the hand pump should not pump up and get "tight". It should move fuel even after it is primed. The fact that no fuel is going out the return line suggests that either the return passage is plugged or the inlet is plugged. Sounds very much like an inlet line is completely stopped-up. Any chance the check valves could be installed wrong or frozen up? Can you blow air through the inlet line to the tank and through the return line to the tank? Can you pull fuel from the inlet line with a hand-held vacuum pump? Or, I could be on drugs...again.

Yeah, that qualifies.

That matches what I said above about changing polarity of EITHER the armature or the field to make it run backward. As long as the armature and field windings are not disturbed, the polarity going to BOTH of them is reversed, and the motor would turn the same way. Very good the way you stated it. Makes everything sort of come together! Thanks for that post! -

That would tend to suggest they are the "universal" type, not permanent magnet type. Good to know.

Axle moving on the end of the spring?

Upgraded exhaust manifold???

I know that ceramic coatings on race car headers keep the heat inside the tubes and out of the engine compartment. Should help a turbo put out more boost. -
I am trying to remember back when I was studying electricity and electronics (before I decided that was not for me). I believe, if a motor uses PERMANENT MAGNETS, it is polarity sensitive, meaning it will reverse if the polarity of the inputs are swapped. But, if a motor uses a STATOR WINDING to create the magnetic field, it is NOT polarity sensitive, and will run in the same direction regardless of input polarity. To reverse those, I think you have to reverse EITHER the armature voltage OR the field voltage. But, don't quote me on that. It has been 45 years since I thought about it. I'd say wire one up on the bench and find out.

I’ve been thinking about this. I’m not sure that I remember this correctly. Maybe you should ignore me!
-
Yeah, I think they had moved the leads from the starter case to the solenoid and vice-versa. See the clip from an old wiring diagram.
-
I'm pretty sure the leads were swapped on my R when they switched it from pos. ground to neg. ground.

If you can spit farther than you can walk...

If your lawn mower has more than 3 cupholders...

I believe in both...depending n the situation. Let the truck tell you what it wants.

I did 1:25.

Don't have to convince me of why you took out an automatic and put in a manual. Made perfect sense to me!

Hey, Tony! Good to hear from you!
-
Yeah, it was sad that Dave left us. I used some of his parts from time to time, and had plans to do a lot more with them. He was always very helpful and knowledgeable. I doubt we'll ever have another outfit quite like either of those again.

Since AITM is gone, I doubt I'll ever be able to get anything like they produced ever again. They had some awesome bits and pieces.

Enjoy the rattle!!!
