    Lost me at the 12 volt solenoid? If you are staying with 6 volt then the voltage will not engage the solenoid. Unless of coarse the solenoid is manually engaged?

    Considering the already once cooked wiring and the leaky carb I think "firing" it up may not be the right term to use.:roll::roll:

    Reserve on auctions?

    More money to GL means more money to the govt.. Budgets are tight, who is going to say anything? Us? Yea right, like anyone is going to listen. And technically they are still selling to the highest bidder. If the bids do not reach the reserve they just lower it for the next...

    Reserve on auctions?

    Well, all the ones I was looking at all sold. Some crazy prices too. I guess as long as people will pay it then the prices will stay there. Look at generator prices in Hawaii if you want to get bummed out, unless you are in Hawaii that is.:twisted:

    Reserve on auctions?

    I don't know what the going price normally is on the later gen-sets but I would say that was a good price IF and only IF they ran. That is the key to buying stuff here, there are no guarantee's.

    Reserve on auctions?

    Reserve on auctions?

    One for you 1070 guys, NEVER give up!

    That is exactly where I was thinking of when I saw that. He knew to keep the front wheels on the high side where the driest dirt was and it paid off.

    A rollback is almost as hard to get stuck as a backhoe. Bed down and push, bed down and push, repeat after me.;) I have gotten out of some sandy, muddy and snowy conditions that way. Not fast and miserable work but it gets you out.

    Just goes to show that persistence sometimes pays off. That was what, 10 gallons of fuel in that section? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-JDUzH2n-4

    Well, you had a rollback, could have made some money back at the accident.

    True, And I have put new clutches on beat up flywheels as long as they did not have heat spots and they worked just fine.
