    What did you do today?

    The water pump parts for the Honda 20hp outboard got here a few days ago. I finally got around to installing them. As I was backing the pontoon into the lake and was thinking how easily the engine went back together. My little voice was saying "that was too easy, what's wrong". The engine had a lot of cranking, but no fire. It needed some go juce - which I did not have on board. Good sign, though, was the water coming out of the lower cowling. The pump was working, but I had forgotten to plug the telltale hose and carb drain hoses up to the nozzles in the cowling. Back to the house, set it all right, and grab some carb cleaner for go juice, and back to the launch ramp for a successful launch. I think I'll treat the first tank of gas this year with a 1/4 cup of ATF to get some extra detergents in the fuel system. I suspect that there is still some crud in the enrichment circuit.

    Scam - I Have Warrants For Arrest

    Same here Richard. They know what I use mine for and call me when a purchase looks suspicious. They have also credited me for purchases I have made and were never delivered as advertised.
  6. No idea ... only one way to find out.

    Scam - I Have Warrants For Arrest

    These scams are getting very sophisticated. Makes me kinda miss the old… “Hello, we’ve been trying to contact you about your cars extended warranty.” i used to get that one several times a week. Got to the point where I just started to play along and waste their time. I asked them to set me up with a warranty on my 2019 Plymouth Fury. Lol …or tell them i drive a 1954 F100, because i do. ….or i would tell them, “Hold on, let me grab my credit card”, then just lay the phone down and walk away. I think the quickest way to get them to hang up is to ask them “Who are you looking for?”

    The drawing below is NOT the wiring system for your tractor but it will show you what the systems are and how they relate to one-another.
  11. That is why I am posting past Red Square group photos, to create awareness of the upcoming photo session. The last group photo we had was in 2019, about time we gather in celebration of the Twentieth Anniversary. @Handy Don will be the executive director and my role is to publicize it, any help will be greatly appreciated. As usual we will have announcements made over the PA system and as usual when all is said and done there will be those who will say "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME".
  12. Careful what you ask for Bob !!

    Safety Switch Issue Volume 2. 208-4sb

    Let your conscience be your guide, we never advocate the removal of safety features of any type. Safety switches are seldom at fault when the engine won't start but they are frequently eliminated and could lead to an injury. The seat switch will NOT prevent the starter from turning over. Download the " Demystification Guide" for your 208 and look at the starter and ignition sheets. Chances are the 15 Amp fuse or fuse holder need to be cleaned or replaced, this is a common problem.
  15. So, has anyone volunteered to handle the herding of the cats to assemble the group for a picture this year? Asking for a friend.

    Governor Problems on Commando 8 K-181

    If it is original it should not have the big spacer just the 3/8 washer. I had a WH that came with an AC engine...

    Governor Problems on Commando 8 K-181

    Label is missing. It had one and I took it off for @Vinylguy to make me a new overlay, but I never got around to putting it on. I know that the engine is original because I bought the tractor from the original owner. It is a 1-4831, 1968 Commando 8, K181S-30108D (according to the Wheel Horse All Years list)
  26. If your tractor is still wired per the diagram, connecting the two seat switch wires together is telling the system that you are NOT in the seat. and The BLACK and ORANGE seat switch wires being joined together with the PTO on will prevent the magneto from producing a spark, just like the operator leaving the seat. So guess what I did. I had a no start/ no sound issue with a 208-4sb. A bit of a toy that I would really just like to get running and sell. So my first action to the no start was joining the 2 seat switch wires together assuming that would bypass that condition in the whole start up ignition sequence. I messed around with a couple of other wires in the pto switch and got it to fire. But when I threw the pto switch the engine died. Do I need to get a new seat switch and wire it back up. I would really like a work around to the whole seat switch thing.

    Scam - I Have Warrants For Arrest

    A few years ago I dropped my wife off at the Atlanta airport, two and a half hour drive, and stopped to pick up a few groceries on the way to the house, credit card was declined so I had to use the Debit Card, no problem. Called the credit card company when I got home and they said the card had just been used in Palm Beach, Florida, and I couldn't be in two places at the same time. Explained that the wife was there and thanked them for their attention to detail. From that time on I have notified them if she and I will not be in the same place. The same card company has intervened for me several times when questionable purchases have been made. I've lost count of the number of new card numbers they have provided me over the years.
