I purchased these five tree saplings from a flea bay seller and they were/are supposed to be Live Oaks, Quercus Virigiana, is their official name. They look nothing like all the other live oaks I have bought. I contacted the seller asking for verification, and I got back a very broken english...

Okay Guys, got the replacement for the new replacement fuel pump assembly, stuck it in, I did do a bump test of the motor prior to install this time, five gallons of gas and hit the start. Fired right up in few seconds of cranking. Lesson learned, just cause its brand new does not always...

Okay Race Fans, you nailed it, it was a leaky brass float. It was about half full of fuel when I pulled the top off. Got it replaced and she runs as designed, great. thanks all......

Not sure if its electric or mechanical pump and no idea what pressure is. The car was not drivable when we cleaned/regasketed the carb and got it running. It ran fine and I would say less than a gallon of fuel was ran thur it at that time. It has an inline filter on it . So there was no...

Guys, Edlebrock 1406 carb was regaskited/cleaned and installed less than a year ago. Fired up and fine tuned, it ran very well. Car sits for almost a year not cranked. Now gas floods out the top on both sides of front two barrels. Okay, I'm thinking floats stuck open. I pull the carb, turn it...

Power and ground in the harness at the pump is fine, it's the pump or wiring ing in the motor/pump assembly that is bad. I got it out today and put 12 volts directly to the pump leads, no pump action. Rockauto says "we don't want the bad pump back, but hang onto it a couple of weeks in case we...

Oh man, don't we just love the joys of mechanician, so I get a Delphi pump from Rockauto and it looks good, right height, size, connection plug, happy I got the right replacement part the first time. Get her installed, 8 gallons fresh gas and spin her over, and no fire up. Dang. Pull the...

I was told when you use Friends and Family if there is a scam or problem, you have NO recourse. You just loose, where as not used, you do have a right of redress. Is that correct?

Well Guys, seems the fuel pump replacement was just the start to my troubles with this long time sitting truck. The rats/chimpmonks were very busy converting the engine compartment to their new home. I removed massive nests in both front fenders and fan shroud area. They ate, and I mean...

I found this 70 scooter still with the original owner, even got the title. Its a silver tag, was complete , but needs everything. As all my friends had this bike when I was a kid, but I had to settle for a mini bike. Plan is to get restored and turn the grand babies loose with it.....

Welcome, from a fellow Ga Cracker. Lots of good folks here with lots of helpful info to aid us in our obsessions.... :thumbsup:

Did 35 years with Southern Nuclear and retired. Did construction, Hot Functional testing, startup and maintenance at Vogtle 1&2, south of Augusta Ga. Set up new crew of electricians for Vogtle 3 & 4 units before I left. Did many refueling outages at Hatch 1 & 2 as well as Farley 1 & 2 in south...

I got the tank out with much 'persuasion ' on my part. The two filler hoses attached at the tank does indeed have a screen inside and you cannot get a hose in there to siphon out fuel. Raised up the pump assembly a few inches and got a hose in there, pumped out over 15 gallons of stinky gas...

Removing the bed , or lifting it up, is of no use on this model. The four door cab goes way over where the fuel pump assembly is in the tank itself. I have dropped one end of the tank down and can get to the two, one large and one small, fuel filler hoses. They are about 20 inches long and no...

Not sure about an OEM unit, my nearest dealership is forty miles away. The thing seems to have a big *** gas tank, and it is full. I cannot get any kind of hose down into the tank from the large or small gas filler rubber hoses. Because it has an unremovable frame brace, you cannot let the tank...
