SAGA : I hagar highly recommend that you ALL watch the ABC Tire Video . I did..
I did knowingly over inflate my front tires on Bondo and Duckling SO ? I am a criminally guilty if something goes wrong ? Yes..
Now how many of you overloaded Tires ? EH ? that flexes sidewalls SO ? you are guilty EH ? EH Andrew ?
Let him who cast the first stone stand up EH ? We all are guilty if something goes wrong , I an talking about DIY types. like us.
My greatest fear ? Is killing that cute little girl of your's , because I fouled up somewhere.. THAT is why I am so FUZZY.. and I am , read my lips.

Here's hoping nothing goes wrong. I still wouldn't recommend exceeding the max pressure rating of the tire. Regardless of my state of blamelessness, if you promote over-inflation as safer, I'll likely introduce the opposite viewpoint.

SAGA : About the tire thing, here is some useless info. OH yeah ? There is no such thing as Useless Info IMHO.
There are no "Stupid" questions , get the drift ? there may be some STUPID answers BUT so what. ?
PIPE up PIPE up Pipe up Stupid or not. . hagar is never STUPID ? OH Yeah ?.

SAGA : Please watch the ABC Video about Tyres. (I agree with the Rubber spokesman)
Then take another look at "The Worlds fastest Indian" He used the Bread-Knife of the woman next door to remove thread. , and covered up sidewalk cracks, to be allowed on the track.
My Rabbits are EASY on tires , so this to me is mostly an academic exercise, But remember ? I did compete in sports car racing.. The handling of UK sports cars ? "INCREDIBLE" .My own mount was a 1957 MGA..
Great handling BUT low Power. (Lots of Fun just the same.) Tyres were important , SO ? hagar paid close attention..
Dunlop RS was considered the best.. (Road Speed ?) or ?
Outside the specialty store in Ottawa Ont Kanada was a rack with Tyres they could not balance. ( half price ) .
A Tyre that passed Dunlops QC and hagar can not balance it ? not likely, (I did it)..
Here comes the funny part (STUPID ?) . I did drive at 105 MPH so balance to 110 EH ?..
I jacked up left rear wheel and used a broom-handle to push pedal . running it up to 110 MPH.. . The stupidity ? I bet all the Amerikan members picked up on it EH ? 220 MPH. and smooooooth.. .
hagar.
Of all the tracks I was on none was worse than Sebring. Florida..

SAGA : I said that "Hillbilly-TUNING" came about due to low shelf life (of Aero Lube 120) 60 SAE.
What to do with all those cases in the shed EH ? BINGO burn in the Rabbits and other diesels,
The day I gave my 1982 1.6 L NA a big doze . Incredible increase in performance - why ? Forums had no answers so I set out to find out. (I found it). "Viscosity" ..

Ok, here's one for you to ponder...........hagar wrote:SAGA : Midnight insomnia and pains. , what to do EH ? .----boot up computer and read forums. , maybe just maybe there is an interesting problem to think about. ? EH ?.
You have mentioned the cold start cable pull test - running and non-running and to compare the difference in force to pull the cable between those two tests. I'd like to suggest that the test should have three (or more) pull tests: non-running, idling, and at an RPM that's elevated above idle RPM.
There you go, something to think and comment about
Everybody else lists their cars here - but not me.
I have too many to count

Would the force needed to pull the cold start lever be indicative of an internal pressure in the pump? A small fish scale could be used to quantify that force. I wonder how repeatable those measurements would be.

I think the answer to this question is not one that any of us enjoy! Fuel can exit the pump via worn out seals!? I had the problem on a bunny... rebuilt pump! Thought it was the output shafts leaking sythetic gear lube! Ugh! Lots of work to finally realize it was skinny diesel leaking out of the main shaft Is this the answer for this week's PUZZLER? Reminds me of Click and Clack Bros!libbybapa wrote:Here's a bit of a pump puzzle for you to consider. The orifice of the out bolt is not the only path for fuel to exit the pump. How else does fuel flow from the pump body to the return line without going to the injectors first?
Here's a hint, the other path is more prone to wear than the orifice.

I thought I had the answer, but nope, not to the return line via a third route.

SAGA : 82vdub thank you , I am feeling better already .
(not much) . I am with you on that one more different RPM 's is a good idea.
Andrew be a little more specific .. are you talking about the orifice in Timing Piston ?
