I think this should work for some not sure tho... http://s556.photobucket.com/albums/ss6/mfolsom08_2009/

 

Looks like your piston was trying to work with a mushroom cloud.

 

No worries - we can buff it out!

 

Well good deal cause it will be down there realy soon

 

I'll remind again later, but if you have a working chainsaw, please bring it. I promise not to break it.................since some one else will be using it.

 

How much wood do you need to cut?

I have no chainsaw, but I do have a new bow saw if worse comes to worse...

 

Darn!

You just reminded me I need to fix the EMISSIONS CRAP on the big chainsaw I bought a few years back - ran like a herd of beavers 'til the 50 hour mark, then shut itself down for "emissions service".

 

So here's the question for the day.

Normal fuel pressure on my truck runs right around 16psi at idle and 14-15 on the road. But I've noticed lately that after some extended runs down the highway, my pressure will climb to 20-25psi at idle with the working range being just slightly below that. When I shut down and restart, the pressure goes back in the normal range. Very hit or miss, but only seems to show up on longer trips at highway speed.

I'm thinking the return valve in the banjo on the VP44 might be sticking closed or getting blocked somehow causing the pressure spike, then when I shut down and pressure falls off, it clears itself.

Other theories?

 

I also have a bow saw, but hope that is not an option.

I don't remember the details, but someone else on here was having the same FP problem your are seeing.

 

Where is your gauge line tapped into the fuel line?
Needle Valve?
Electric or Mechanical Westech?
RJ

 

Gremlins.

It's always the gremlins...

 

Tapped into the outlet from the fuel filter canister. Rubber hose from there to the fuel pressure sender mounted at the firewall. 0-30psi electric Westach gauge.

First time I noticed it was at the end of February on a trip down to Lufkin. Pressure at highway speed was 18psi and would hit 20psi when I stopped at idle.

The other week coming back from Ardmore with the trailer, I was running around 22-23psi and was about 26psi when I stopped. That's the highest I've seen.

Just don't want to tax the ol' stocker LP any more than I have to...

 

Charlie....I have an old Poulan chainsaw I bought from Mike a while back, I can bring. Im sure it will get the job done fine.


Do I have the go ahead on bringing the WW Trailer?

..

 

Ya well I wish I could be at the Ranch for this one, But I am going to KY on the 8th and 9th tho! Its only like 570 miles from here! How far is it from there??

o and its only a 2400 mile round trip for me, so ill see ya there.

Good news Bob just sent me the Beta 4.2 tune, and since i can't sleep i might get it loaded up real quick and go for an early morning test drive "wake the neighbors "
