I'm in the Lk. George region of upstate NY and am well prepared. We're expecting some pretty good wind but not too much rain. I have lots of friends and family in North NJ and they're in for quite a ride. By a lucky chance my Mom's up here with me.

It was reported over 700 million about an hour ago. 10% of the worlds population

If I'm reading this chart correctly the pressures aren't nearly as high as I thought they would be.

Thanks, Geno

Wow, that engine does sound good at low rpm. My similar 4 hp unit definitely hammers at lower rpm.

Thanks, Geno

I hope I'm wrong but this fire map from the 28th shows an uncontrolled fire line close to the area Dan describes above. Let's all hope for the best.

As the crow flies I'm about 140 miles/225 km from upstate NH. Probably 300 road miles. Enjoy your time in New England. It's a great time of the year. Pray for few mosquito's and black flies. Can't help you with scrap yards there but I'm sure they're around.

Thanks, Geno

WOW, what else to say.

Thanks, Geno

NP, I've got the LV series service manual and parts manuals as well. They're all really large files though.

Thanks, Geno

Shims under the pump. Looks pretty easy.
Here's a link to the complete manual. Large file, 13 meg.

Surplus Center is a good place to start.

ASE Supply is also good.

Did he specifically say "no insulation" I did hear him say he only got luke warm water 80 meters away. I'd be willing to bet with no insulation at that distance the water would be the same as ground temp. He could easily be in a damp cool climate as well. I've been known to scrimp too much at times when the $$$ signs grow.

The gent did a beautiful job on the installation and certainly knows how to DIY.
That's not his only DIY project either. Check this out.

Original Lister manuals say slice the oil. I had some bearing problems with the stock setup on my Indian copy. Solid upper shells and a hollow dipper made a huge improvement. I haven't kept track of the hours but there are at least 1500 on the new setup with no noticeable sign of wear. I do have a Frantz bypass oil filter as well. The hollow dippers don't slice. My 4300 hr engine doesn't slobber but the last time I honed the cylinder it took a long time to break it in.

Thanks, Geno

Yup, it was some chemical you had to use. Plenty of documentation as well. I install and repair computers in car dealerships. The techs would have a blast wrecking the engines and some would place bets on how long they would last. I've seen more than one twisted con rod or melted piston being used as a paper weight. Some times they would get spit right out of the engine.

Thanks, Gene

Thanks, I had to modify my head and housing as well.

I put a 205 degree in mine and there was a very noticeable difference in the amount of carbon on my injector then when I had the 195 in it.

That's interesting. I burn WVO and have a 195° t-stat. The carbon isn't that bad but I wouldn't mind less. Do you have a part # for the 205° t-stat?

Thanks, Geno
