    Fuel leaking

    Jim it appears that the threaded part shown in my pictures is missing it's lock washer and nut. It also appears to have fallen down some with only the wire sticking through creating plenty of room for fuel to splash out and cause your leak. Looks like you need to find a lock washer and nut...

    Fuel leaking

    Jim, its hard to tell in picture #2 but it looks like your missing a lock washer and nut on the wire going into the tank. That is the power lead going to the in-tank pump. Inside it is a shielded wire that goes from the motor up to a special D shaped threaded piece which should have some type...

    Safety Netting

    Jim, you are hitting the nail on the head! I was hoping someone had invented this wheel. Looks like I will be breaking a bunch of needles on my wifes sewing machine!:-D My thought is two horizontal staps maybe 3" stuff, with buckles on each end to tighten. Then some verticle staps out of 1"...

    Safety Netting

    I like all the ideas but looks like I,m going to try and make something out of straps. Who knows there may be a market for them.

    Safety Netting

    Camo netting might work. I was thinking more along the lines of something like two cargo straps(1-2 inches) running horizontal along the length of the seat to resemble the backs. Then maybe a few verticle ones to keep it from sagging. Staps would be black or OD. However, I'm not ruling...

    Safety Netting

    I haul a lot of youngsters in the back of my deuce, B-day parties, parades, & such. I always have adults in the back but I would like a little more safety. It seems the youngsters head sometimes barely reaches the bottom rung of the back support for the troop seats. Basically a large gap...

    Need thermostat information

    UPDATE: I took the "correct" NAPA Part Number THM 358-180 to a differrent parts Store (O'Reilly) and gave them the NAPA number. They were able to cross reference the number and get me one for $20. I was happy with that since the NAPA online price was $35.:-D What I recieved was made by Murry...

    Brake Bleeding Lesson (The Hard Way)

    I've done it the "old fasion way" also and after doing it correctly with my pressure bleeder, I will never do it the old way again. The pressure bleeder is nice! Just don't push your brake pedal when its pressured up! :-D:-D Also, not sure why you would need air pressure on the duece? I...

    Brake Bleeding Lesson (The Hard Way)

    When bleeding your brakes with a pressure bleeder, "Do not push down on your brake pedal!" . It appears that if you have air in your lines and the pedal goes down too far, the pressure in the reservoir will push fluid in front of the piston and out of the front of the master cylinder on the...

    Need thermostat information

    Whoops, I see my problem! I threw a 5 in there 258-185 instead of 258-180. You would think it was close enough for the guy a the counter to help but it wasn't. I still don't like their price, wish I was closer to Westfolk! I try to apply my FEDEX rule to buying things from NAPA, only if I...

    Need thermostat information

    I will agree with you there!:-D The only thing I told them different was the dash in the middle, 258-185. He searched on computor, looked through his books, and asked what it was for, ect, ect. No luck. Also, why are they so high????:cry:

    Need thermostat information

    Thanks for the link, however the NAPA number listed is a good number according to my local dealer. Any ideas what to tell them to cross-referance it to?

    Need thermostat information

    Westech, that NAPA part number didn't work. Should I have used those other numbers? As you know, most of the poeple behind the counters these days have little or no mechanical experience. Also, how do you get to the page from the old site? Thanks.

    Need thermostat information

    I need a NAPA part number for a 180 degree thermostat for my duece. I have searched and found a link to a NAPA cross-reference, but it no longer works. I also found a thread that listed NAPA part# 258-185. People at NAPA said it wasn't listed. Anyone out there know a current part number...

    VIC-1 intercom

    I know I'm dragging up a old thread here but I'm trying to figure out the VIC-1 system. Have search and looked at TMs. I'm wanting cables to go from BAT to MX-7777 then to AM-1780 then to C-boxes. Mainly, I don't want the radio tray in the mix. Is this possible? What cables will do this...

    Master cylinder problem??

    Just did a quick search on the web at a couple places, both had them at $125, I thought that was pretty steep. I'm not sure what my problem is. I was sure it was the MC, but now that I have it off, I'm stumped. No significant loss of fluid after I pumped them like crazy to mark a tire when...

    Master cylinder problem??

    After several days of 20-30 degree weather, I went out to fire up one of my dueces. After warm up I was going to move it and the brake pedal went to the floor. Tried to pump it back up to pressure but never would. I looked at every wheel and all were dry, however fluid was coming out of the vent...
