That's true but if the wire you ran for the pump somehow gets chafed and shorts to ground a fuse will stop a meltdown. I installed a 10 Amp fuses on my pump power supply wire right off the battery.

I have them as well, best thing ever, but mine perished a while back so have been running without it. Two new ones arrived in the post today as it happens! But going to put in the fuel pump as well 🙂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it hits 90° w/ 80% humidity, I'll fire up the 516 to mow the back and get a good sweat going. Why sweat in a steam bath when it's a Georgia Summer and you get it for free? Is that a siren on the table ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuneup 1,433 #12314 Posted July 25, 2021 Yes, will definitely try this. On this 48, 2 spindles had a red grease with some black contamination and the 3rd had a watered-down black grease. Watered-down in that it was very thin - maybe more toward thick oil than grease. I'll clean and finish them today and then it's on to the mounting components...thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got that for $15, an original klaxon for $10 and a barely used Briggs horizontal 3HP for $15. Always regret that I passed on an old freestanding drill press. I can't run that horn in the open air. People come out of their houses...was told it's from an ambulance. Was 1 of 2. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just can't get these things clean enough. No access to blasting - would be painting over dirt in nooks and crannies. They're about as clean now as they can be and flush of old grease. I've got a few jam nuts and grease zerks to pick-up. Moving to the replacement bolts and nuts mode on the renew now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snoopy11 5,714 #12323 Posted July 25, 2021 Nope... that is a 1995 Ford Ranger, believe it or not. It is just as physically monstrous and monstrous-sounding as my Hell Horse. Mustangs and muscle cars shake in their boots when this thing roars... You can see peeks of my Hell Horse in the background... Don 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse520H 708 #12324 Posted July 25, 2021 I knew it was a Ford, the little chin spoiler and the lights threw me off. Yes I do see the Hell Horse in the back. I like the black paint on the horse too by the way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think... if I hadn't done a pretty good job with the black paint and clear coat... it would not look nearly as good. Got some good practice with air gun spray paint though!!!
