We were diagnosing a misfire, suspected a weak magnet in the degree wheel. Found the the engine will not turn more than 90 degrees and it comes up solid against something. pistons go up and down, valves go up and down, no bolts loose on the converter. next step is to look at the mag drive and fuel pump. Been very hot here as well. What are the water grains, you cannot burn water.

With my current units the fans run continuously.
I am trying to learn what is involved ahead of time. Your video, along with Terry's ladder, is very informative and helpful. I do appreciate the time it takes to make the videos to share. Thank you.  |
Thank you, no problems

Dixie is supposed to be the fastest lawn mower on the market. I need more flexibility, I will also have a back hoe that is removable.

Update 08 25 2018 Dragster / Moving
Yes, we are moving and it will affect the number of videos produced in the near future in a negative way (less of them), in the far future there will be MORE videos and they will be more diverse.
In this video we talk about the move and the current status of the dragster

Congratulations and good luck on the move! 
You did say "heating" in the new barn. Is radiant floor heating an option?

Current thoughts are four ceiling hung furnaces, We will explore the cost of radiant heat. Selling my Survivor Jeep to boast the project budget.

I have four ceiling mounted radiant heat panels in my shop from this outfit: https://www.sshcinc.com
No affiliation, but I've been very pleased with the product. So much nicer than fan-driven heat, and totally silent (of course). If you can't do in-floor heat, I'd argue these are the next best thing.

Chuck,
Glenn posted an aerial photo back on post #1950.
If I did it right, this link will get you there. If not, back up a page or two and look for #1950. 10 ACRES!!!
