Re: PO has me PO'd
Jim,
Are you talking about the screw that holds the handle on? I can pull one out later today and take a look (I think i still have one) Are you going with an in bed style tank or under body? I might be able to hook you up with some in bed hickey tanks if needed. Richard |

Re: PO has me PO'd
It's interesting to see the valve opened up. If that one doesn't work for any reason I think these are still available new and I recall seeing them for marine applications. I don't know the Hickey tank dimensions but FWIW I had a Blazer with a period correct 40 gallon tank, which I think can still be had.

My screw is 8-32 and about 1/2" long Phillips countersunk head like these https://www.mcmaster.com/91802a194 Here is a picture or 2 of the actual tanks I am talking about. I am not 100% he is ready to sell, nor price but I can ask him if you are interested and put you in contact . |

Just saw a 38 gallon go up for sale by CIblazer, not quite what I had in mind, looking to have a diamond plate one made up to fit in the area of my bulk head area. Thanks for the tip on buying a new one , if this one fails Man, you talk about a varnish build up, can you imagine what his carb. looks like |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Richard, thanks for the info. and link. pics sure help as now I know location to mount the valve.
Not sure yet on tanks, but if they are available I would consider them, if the price is right. Thank you for your time |
Re: PO has me PO'd
I'd change it if possible. I'll take the snow and cold over the crime in ABQ any day. It helps that I can start my daily driver from my phone - toasty when I climb in :)

Any way, got the valve apart, wasn't bad inside, the shaft may be worn https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7955b483_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/2hnC6sk]20190929_114126 these Q tips work great, but the carb cleaner, Is under high pressure,use PPE. If you hit a deadend this sh!t is coming back at you and it BURNS |

Re: PO has me PO'd
was at the shop today, installed radiator, stood back and looked at it. Not impressed with the routing of the hoses, or how I cobbled them together...
Update needed to resolve. ordered some SS pipe, clamps and sleeves. will have to wait for the pcs. to come in, worst part of a build is waiting on parts |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Picked up this little beauty on the partsboard, thanks Wayne G.,quality with/out reproach, and yes the valve functions as expected, even hits the detents as expected
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...54fea129_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/2hqnQyi]20191005_074950 Once I find my power cord, I'll run it thru the ultra sonic |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Nice! Thanks for the pic! ;)

Re: PO has me PO'd
