Re: Door alignment problem on 29 CCPU

Re: Tools/supplies needed while traveling
I don't think it's negative, just opinions. Just like the "what's your favorite oil", someone will always reply "non-detergent 30w, just like Henry required!". I don't carry carbs because I've...

Re: Tools/supplies needed while traveling
You leave the tillotson at home. It was warped before it went on the tour, so as mentioned you bandaid it and move along.
The needle and seat do wear when sitting under the seat for any amount...

Re: Tools/supplies needed while traveling
Carbs will experience more wear under the seat of a car than on the engine. I can drop and clean the carb quicker than you can removing, finding the spare and bolting the replacement on.

Re: Door alignment problem on 29 CCPU
I agree that hinge adjustments will likely get you closer to the solution, we cannot say for sure until it’s on the frame and adjusted. Shimming and bolting onto the frame account for a decent...

Re: Another carb needs repair
As is typically the case, we respond with missing info. I don’t use Tillotson carbs, so my comments apply to the factory issued Zenith carbs.

Re: Another carb needs repair
Those threads are for compression fittings. I’m not sure heli coils are made for a compression fitting to properly work. I don’t think time serts are made for that application either.
I’d look...

Re: Squeal that I can’t pinpoint
I think most of the comments are looking at this incorrectly. The OP describes it as a belt like squeal that goes away when the clutch is pressed. The throw out bearing spins when the clutch is...

If you look, just about all new semi’s and other heavy duty trucks are automatics. Most on the road today are automatic. Some manufacturers like Kenworth, don’t even offer manual transmissions. I...

Re: Fuse size
