the jack it full when the oil is even with the hole while the ram is all the way down while standing up, you can lay it down to fill it. but stand it up to check if its full

A bad ign. coil will do that. The next time it does that check it for spark

The one marked #2 (looking from the back side on the right) gets 12 volt all the time. you can jump from the big lug to it, the one marked #1 gets reduced voltage using a porcelain resistor that is only hot when the key is on. if you want to use a idiot light you will have to modify these...

The oil in air cooled engines is part of the cooling system. Synthetic oil does not absorb heat the way regular oil does, also engines with the splash oil systems (no oil filter) should use a non detergent oil, as it does not foam when churned up by the moving engine parts. Non detergent...

limp mode, when the computer detects a issue

I think what hes asking is what wrench size fits different size bolts, like 6mm bolt uses a 13 mm wrench and so on. no a chart that I know of. but not all bolts are the same an example is some 6 mm bolts use a 12 mm wrench while others use a 13mm

I don't keep bees anymore but when I did I never planted anything. but I live out in the country, I will say that one year the field in front of me had firewheels and they made the best honey. A funny thing happened one year, we didn't get the rains we normally get and there was a shortage of...

those pulleys are on pretty tight, I don't know any way without a puller. Someone here might know a way. You might make something but why not just rent a puller from some place like Orileys or autozone?

you can use a cooking thermometer to see what temp it opens at

that is the hardness I don't know the spec, but I think around a grade 5 for 8.8, grade 8 for 10.9

you must not use the glow plugs or disconnect power to the glow plugs if they come on automatically to use either, the reason is the glow plugs will ignite the either way to early on the compression stroke, also to much either will over pressure the combustion chamber, broken piston rings or...

wet brakes will last much longer than dry brakes jd had them for a long time. IH went to wet brakes on the ag tractors in 1976 but they mounted them where you could get to them easy. the issue falls on engineers trying to come up with something new to keep their jobs. the problem is they are so...
