Epp,

     Why not just leave that cover on?  Seems like it wouldn't 
cause any harm since the humps are so tall.

     I've heard of this techinque, but I hear you need to make 
sure you have a good gasket or else you fire the air right into 
the system.

     Curt, Tom,

     I always use a nylock AND a lock washer.  You can never have 
those on too safely!  Gas tanks, lights, bumpers, shocks, and 
shackles.

 Even the Nylocks aren't immune to loosening up. When I swapped 
in urethane
spring bushings, I used Nylocks on most of the spring bolts, but 
ran out and
used locktite on the last few. When I checked them about a week 
later, the 
Nylocks were almost off, but the locktite'd nuts were still 
tight.

Tom,

     If you ever remember your chemistry class in Jr High, or 
High School, whenyou light sugar, you get a HUGE amount of solid 
carbon as a by-product.  Basically the flame breaks the bonds and 
pure carbon comes out with gases.  The carbon can coke everthing 
up and clog valves and stick them open AND closed if conditions 
are right.  It may clog the carb too.  I'd drop the tank a swish 
10-15 gals through there 1gal at a time till it was clean.

     Good luck, and can you please tell us (for those who have 
forgotten) how this whole thing started?, then I'll tell you how 
my friend lost his '76 FJ-40 almost the same way.

And, BTW, what "happens" when sugar'd gas hits a motor.. I've

seizes, but.. how about why?

Thanks everyone!

Hey everybody, would there be a market for a brake caliper bolt 
that instead of a dart/nipple fitting it had a schrader so that 
you could have a bud pump the brake and you just have to push the 
schrader in to bleed them, instead of open and close the dart?

Lemme know,

Subject: Brake bleeder check valves

     I ordered a set of the brake bleeder check valves and plan 
on installing them on my 1200B.  (I got new wheel cylinders too) 
The original ones had rusted themselves to the old wheel 
cylinders and would not come loose.  I'll post what it will be 
like to bleed the brakes after everything shows up and their 
installed.
     If you haven't tried the BinderChat room on the Binder 
Bulliten web page on Wed. nights, you don't know what your 
missing.  I've joined in the past two Wednesdays and have enjoyed 
it immensly.  Rick and Ken Boyer are a hoot!  Enjoyed talking to 
Tom Mandera too. (Hope things went well in court today)
