Continuing the trouble shooting
No water exiting the weep hole on water pump. It doesn't make sense to me that the pump would be the source without seeing water leaking. I don't want to rebuild the water pump if I don't have to....

cleaned tank in place
I cleaned my Monel tank in place 8 years ago. I pumped all the old gas out with a mechanical siphon pump through the fill tube, then filled with a gallon of acetone, sloshed it around by rocking the...

I was trying to blow air in the hose before the pump. I know the racor filter isn't plugged as it is brand new. Is there a check valve in the safety valve at the tank? Shouldn't I be able to blow air...

water in gas
Water in gas sounds possible. Using a hand pump, pump out a little from the bottom of the tank into a glass and check for drops. Check the O ring on the fill cover. I would have saved myself a lot of...

Do I really need a temperature gauge?
At the beginning of the season, the temp reading was at the end of the scale. With the engine cool, it read 180. In order to narrow the diagnosis, I put a shut off cock between the water jacket T and...

I now understand. Received and installed gasket. Quite clear that size and material differs significantly from other gaskets. Had to tighten it down very hard, but now all is well.

I do have one of those clips
I'm glad I've given occasion to think about the brake band nut and the clip. After more careful inspection, I discovered I do have an intact clip. I suppose I didn't notice it before because I wasn't...

reverse collar slippage
Recently I lost all reverse. I tightened the collar and gained reverse again, but then after a few weeks, no reverse. Is there a way to "hold" the collar after I tighten it? Why would it slip?

cleaner added to oil
I want to add a deposit cleaner to the oil. Do I have to reduce the quantity of oil first so that I don't have the pan too full? Do I have to change the oil after putting this cleaner in?
