Just a good time to check the in tank components for corrosion (the fuel level float especially). The double float aux fuel switch are notorious failure points, so take care in removing and replacing. Not much else going on back there from a preventative maintenance point of view past that...

Its absolutely possible to backblow the fuel drain to clear something up, but as its a gravity drain, whatever is displaced will simply end up back there. It might even be part of the well nut, FOD, you don't know. Compressed air never hurts as a step one to see if it helps get some of it out...

How much work you want to put in? The absolute best result is pulling the tank and pressure washing... but you need to pull the radiator and all metal above the tank to do that (as well as the items in the tank). Acetone or similar may do what you want, can take a plastic brush and stick your...

The nonconductive wrenches do appear on ebay and elsewhere from time to time. Just have to chunk a few inches off the rope end to make them way less annoying to use.

I believe I have all three as good takeouts. The AC ones aren't cheap, but such is life. We can discuss by PM if you want.

I do have clips available. We can discuss by PM if you want.

Or unhook the hard line at the primary pump and fab up a short hose from the outbound side of the pump, into the container of your choosing. No sense in recreating the wheel. The tank is HDPE or similar.

I read it that hes trying to drain the tank bulkhead.

They were designed to be run anywhere Uncle Sam chose to go, as-is. With that said, anything you want to do to make its life in retirement better, I am sure it won't complain.

Might be plugged by mud wasps... not uncommon. Got anything small you can run into the drain line? Its just a bulkhead fitting that goes behind the battery and to the drain plug on the tank. Could be trash in your tank too, that has settled onto the backside of the fitting in the tank...

Don't know if you have mud wasps where you are, but they will fill that drain port unless you block it when not in use.

Which gauges aren't registering?

To retain the nut that might come loose ( so it doesn't vibrate off the stud), as well as to be a hindrance to putting a tool on the lug. At least that's how I see it.

Ill need to look around, I may have some.

You mean the kids up and coming today couldn't just summon Siri to aid in that?

You can't just Rain Man that list and the answer spits out like a rainbow after a rain storm? :ROFLMAO:

Agreed with both above. With that said, the working envelope on the 1030 sucks to me on everything past belt changes compared to the 802.

1/2-14. The stock plug that goes into that drain hole I believe accepts the square shank of a 3/8" socket (though I feel like over the years I've also had machines in with an Allen wrench hex on the inside).

Sorry I have two control panel assemblies, and it seems I have robbed this part off both already. @CallMeColt do you have a switch you might want to part with?
