Frank, if you inspect the board carefully the problem may pop right out at you. Like Murf said there could be a cracked solder joint, especially around the pads where any mechanical push buttons might be soldered to the board or where relays might be attached. Also where resistors mount since if they're undersized a bit they might heat up a little too much and cause stress on the joint. Look for unusually brown components. Any repeated thermal cycles can cause cracks.

It could also be something as simple as a connector that needs to be reseated, you might try those first.

Sorry, I can't help with the engine question.

That carburetor has to be pretty simple. $150 seems very high unless it includes removing, reinstalling, and maybe a complete check, oil change and tuneup. Do you have the ability to rebuild it yourself? I'd guess you could buy a rebuild kit online for $25 or less. If not, you might see if you can just buy a new carburetor. A new carburetor for my Honda powered pressure washer was around $40 on eBay IIRC (not a genuine Honda but it looks the same and works better than the original ever did).

I am restoring a car and have been doing a lot of research into this very subject. Most guys into auto restoration say that it is *always* cheaper to pay a lot more for a rust-free car than to try to restore a rusted body.<br>
<br>
The only way to fix any deep rust is to either replace body panels or cut it out and weld in new metal. That is expensive work to have done. You need to get rid of all rust, and a bunch of it could be hiding under undercoating, paint, inner panels, shock towers, you never can tell without fully blasting the paint off and doing a full examination. If there is visible rust in the body there is almost always deeper rust in lots of nooks and crannies and some of it could be structural. Frankly, when it comes to proper rust repair it's usually cheaper to buy a new car.<br>
<br>
For lighter rust the rust should be sanded/blasted/wire brushed off and then a rust converter like POR-15 (IIRC) can help. After the bare metal is exposed it should be primed quickly or rust will start again immediately (even if you can't see it for days).<br>
<br>
For paints you probably can't go wrong with any of the major brands (Dupont, House of Kolor, etc) and each shop has it's favorite brand. A good auto paint supply will sell top quality primers in spray cans for the purpose of quickly sealing bare metal. Good paint is not cheap.

[QUOTE=hardwood;167729] Thank you for all the response, for right now I'll use the idea that Auer came up with. I found three new rolls of 1/2 hose and I think enough quick couplers in the back shed.I'll connect them from the compressor to the spare tank then into the hose reel. That way it will be easy to change things and I can use the portable if I have to I'll put it in the loader bucket to carry it.Murf has a good Idea but the hose isn't going to hurt the checkbook.Guess what I meant by the 2022 thing is that if you guys are like me no shop will ever be just right, we always are changing something.

[QUOTE=hardwood;167606] If there is an actual dealership involved shouldn't that be part of their prep before delivery to have the correct fluids in the tractor. I wouldn't want a new tractor that came with thw wrong fluids, or are they shipped dry? [/QUOTE]

My old Jinma chipper was shipped with very cruddy looking fluid in the gear box, a weird mix of green and brown that didn't mix together. I wouldn't trust it as fuel for an oil burning heater.

Art White answered this in the other thread you started.

The short answer is that chains are sold by tire size and you would choose the chain type based on the type of tread your tires have.

I don't know anything about that engine but it's possible you'd have to remove and block off or cap the pump nipples to eliminate any vacuum leak that may be caused by the pump. You might be able to rig up a gravity feed of some sort to test the theory (a can of fuel gravity feeding into the carb) and cap off the fuel pump lines. Not sure that would work but it's probably something I'd try (hope you don't smoke and keep a fire extinguisher nearby :))

Well, SO FAR (knock on wood) the product is working fine here. Our dealer did tell us that some maintenance was required, specifically that needles may build up on inside corners and have to be removed. When the needles aren't removed then dripping does occur. One thing that helps us is a very steep 12/12 roof, I can see a shallow roof not working as well since the water won't wash down as fast and clear the debris as well.

Many of the complaints you link to are about icicles forming. I'm not at all sure that's a mastershield problem since icicles have been forming on eaves since the invention of the roof.

Some other complaints are about dealers and not about the product itself. Crappy dealers sell all kinds of products, good and bad, so maybe mastershield should be more willing to yank bad dealers but that's not a reflection on product performance. We installed a well respected heat pump brand but it's been a huge disappointment due to the crappy installation.

The BBB thing seems damaging but they give no details.

(An an aside I had a consumer issue with the BBB once and they are pretty much a worthless organization that runs for the benefit of the businesses that provide funding as opposed to consumers. There's no way my business would be a BBB member).

Have you found anyone else who has reported the problem you are having?

[QUOTE=earthwrks;167503] Some 10' Schedule 40 or 80 6" pipe works great too. The area should be free from anything that will prevent easy rolling like small rocks---think: grocery basket caster stuck on a pebble. When I moved portable garages I did it this way using only my 33hp blue. I used the box blade as a pusher. You can guide it or steer it easily this way. And as far as steering, per se, whatever way you arrange the logs/pipes generally the unit will follow, think: roller conveyor used to move boxes in a factory. [/QUOTE]

I think rolling on pipes will be out, it will be placed on gravel :)

More details please.

Does it crank? If not, do you hear any clicking or anything?

If it cranks, does it sputter at all like it wants to start? Is there any smoke? If so, what color is it? How cold has it been there? Is it stored in a heated garage or outdoors?

All a diesel needs to run is good fuel, air and adequate compression. And it needs to spin fast enough to start. Air and fuel filters need to be clean and, if it's cold, the fuel could have gelled. If it's cold you should add a cold weather diesel fuel anti-gel additive.

Cutter is probably right. It's been my experience that people who are really in a tight spot are the very ones who don't want to just give away something. They will research prices and price aggressively but not ridiculously so. Unless the wife is selling off her husbands stuff to piss him off or the machine is stolen.

[QUOTE=Murf;167171] It looks like VW took some cues from Honda whose Ridgeline pickup is a Pilot with a cab & box instead of a wagon-like body style.This appears to be a Toureg with the same treatment. Do a little reading on that car, you might have second thoughts about this truck.Best of luck. [/QUOTE]

I've read that, the Toureg is nice but has a reputation as bad as later model Mercedes :( What is worse, a name brand with a bad reputation or an unknown brand with no reputation? Although the VW TDI engine has a very good rep.

I wonder why we don't get rid of high priced pro sports teams and form prison leagues instead. I can see it now, the Angola State Bangers vs. Folson Prison Rapists. Costs would be lower, profits could fund the prisons and the players wouldn't change.

[QUOTE=auerbach;167143] Any break is likely to be aboveground rather than buried. Otherwise, even if there were an instrument that pinpointed the location of a discontinuity, I'd want to replace the entire line anyway. Electricians charge a decent buck -- and there's a good reason for that.KT, you were looking for dowsing (using a divining rod). [/QUOTE]

True about the likelihood of the break being above ground, however below ground breaks do happen. My brother just replaced a line in underground conduit that had a break in it. It looks like the conductor was nicked during installation and finally just opened up. Weird.

Thanks, Hettric! Their ball joint assembly with the retaining clip looks like the correct design. I'll have to take some measurements to see if it will work with the throttle plate ball size.

I don't know exactly what that switch looks like but if there are two wires to the switch they should be disconnected and connected directly to each other bypassing the switch entirely. If there's only one wire to the switch I'm guessing the wire needs to be grounded to complete a circuit somewhere. Sorry, it's hard to be specific without seeing it or a schematic.
