Re: Make Your Own Tire Changing Tool
Have an old Black & Decker 12v impact wrench but still need more power at times. They were talking about torque multipliers in other places, check Amazon and Ebay for better prices. https://www.amazon.com/HomCom-Heavy-Torque-Multiplier-Wrench/dp/B00G3NA6C0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493342911&sr=8-2&keywords=torque+multiplier David362Views0likes0CommentsRe: Xantrex Freedom 458 remote panel issues
Have a 6 wire data wired cable on my 458 remote panel, try removing AC and DC power let it sit for awhile and try turning on again from remote without touching the controls on the inverter, if you use the front panel controls my 458 ignores the remote. The 458 panel originally came with just the remote on off switch and I think it just requires the 2 wire for on off but think the full remote does require all 6 wires, correct me if i am wrong.

Back in the 80s they used to sell a 1 pound cylinder that was refillable and the vent with hex wrench flats used to bleed vapor also contained the over pressure relief valve. Manchester has a new updated legal version. http://www.mantank.com/green/refillable.htm David469Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winchester Bay without sand tires
Have actually gone up Banshee Hill (first hill on left) with an CanAm Outlander 800Max loaded with tires at 7-8 PSI. You may need to run 4wd more so you will not dig holes taking off in the soft sand. Also run a RZR 800S with stock tires out there at Winchester and at South Jetty in Florence.189Views0likes0CommentsRe: Running an electric smoker
The Traeger is a barrel type barbeque with a pellet stove feed system hung on the side. Not sure if they are using a thermocouple to sense the start of burning to shut down the glow rod or it just comes on for the 4 minutes at each start up sequence.

The Traeger grills are a off shoot from their Pellet Stove and Wood Furnace business years ago. The grills were excellent quality until they took manufacturing off shore to China. Have many friends that still use the original models. According to their site the glow rod igniter is 300W and another 50w once lit to run the fan and the auger. Think I would want at least a 1000 watt generator or inverter with 2 or more likely 4 6v batteries to make it thru a run. David81Views0likes0CommentsRe: New WW at the Tampa show
Part of the appeal of the Weekend Warrior line was the design, style and higher level of trim of the line. For a company to come out and say that all the problems are fixed from previous models is not true since the only connection between old and new trailers is the name stuck on the side and there is no track record to even refer to. Do have an original Weekend Warrior late 2007 RKD3000 with few problems and it is hard to match the features and high trim level with other Toy Haulers built at the time.

But of course the problems they had don't just happen overnite so we'll see what they have to offer. Not even close to being the same thing, they took a Porsche name tag and hung it on a VW.

The second answer from Cummins wins. It looks like fuel supply valve for a THERMOSTART or flame starting system, lines go to two intake heaters. Power to valve opens and supplies diesel to two intake heaters that have fuel lines and a heater element inside that ignites the diesel that drips from heater to preheat the intakes. Variation of this system is used on many Perkins, Yanmar and other engines sometimes you will find a small reservoir above the engine that is topped off by fuel return line from injection pump going to fuel tank.
