See what happens when you retire? Your mind goes right out the window (or under the table)! One reason I'm still working.

Hopefully the new hoses will do the trick!

We've known each other for too long. Maybe not well enough to know where all the bodies are buried, but close enough. Of course if we all make it to MATG this year, that will change...

I love nipples

Off to town for some Robin shopping, after our scones!

Finally figured out my bouncing idle. There’s a valve that opens and closes, but the water temp, located on the intake manifold. Its purpose is to help with starting in cold climates. Well it was stuck open a bit allowing more air in. I don’t need the thing here in FL, so I blocked it off and ran a nipple to the in and out coolant lines. Idles at 850 all day now! Score one for me! Took a bunch of try’s to track this down!

Nice job of tracking the issue down.

Agreed Bruce, a fine example of great detective work.
