What engine RPM at cruise are you running? First thing is to make sure all your components are in top working order... Assuming the ignition...
Just wondering what the ballpark price of a good project start / donor would be. I saw one this weekend sitting out on the side of the road in...
There is a thing as too much pressure - but it usually is at the top end - too much at idle only wastes a tiny little bit of gas driving the oil...
If you had it in gear then I can believe it - once the front pump is running and providing pressure to engage the clutches you can apply power...
Yeah - it's going to be a chilly one... wonder what the attendance is going to be like with the cold weather?? Just found out from "the boss"...
