I have one of the heaters from Greg. I used it in the back of my deuce when it had the built cover and it worked very well. I used corn and wood, because I was unable to find a jerry can with the correct size cap. I hope to be picking up an S280 from another member soon and it will be going...
I did the 4:1 with Xylene, the same as the Rapco paint. If I did it less it tends to plug up the gun after a few minutes of spraying. But let me warn you, painting one of these trucks can take a long time. Week number 5 for me, but I can see the end.
Looks can be deceiving. If the job is worth doing, it's worth doing it right the first time. By taking 5 minutes to hone it now it will save you plenty down the road. Just my 2 pennies rubbing together here.
Been doing it the last 2 days here. I thought it was just the latest update Microsoft did on me so I even cleared out the computers history and still there they were.
Well I do look forward to the first test drive and I do hope and pray that it holds a good long time. But now I think it's time to give credit where credit is due. Westy for getting me hooked up with Gimp. Gimp for all the help over the phone and of course the box of parts and my dad, for...
Well I put it all back together. Then I went to try it and...... nothing. Then I let the batts. charge a bit more and hit it with a shot of ether. She fired right up. She runs great and no leaks to speak of. I will have to wait for the rain to stop before I can take it out for a victory...

Well it was without question a learning experiance. However, I am sad to report that the HH leaks real bad through the fuel shut off. I will go back to the shop later today and see if there is anything else I can try, but at the moment I am out of ideas. So if anyone has a good/mostly good HH...
Roller,
If all goes well it will be running tomorrow. I found the broken part and should have the new one in from Gimp tomorrow afternoon. You can see the part and what I am doing to fix it here.
Well I puled my fuel pump this morning to check the line. Everything looks new in there. My only concern is that it appears to be regular fuel line and not the submersible typoe of line. My line is also labled as 1/2", I am including pics so the size can be seen by all who read this in the...
