Re: Dead outlet
I had the same thing. I pulled the outlet and found that one of the wires had pulled out of the connection on the back. Mine doesn't have screws on the back of the outlets like a home outlet does, the wire simply gets pinched in between the terminal, not a very good design IMHO. if it's not that outlet then look at the one next to it, they usually jump from one to another and that lead wire might have come off instead. Warning, unplug shore power before doing this... 120VAC is shocking!207Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roof leak
Is the cover cracked on top? ditto on tightening the 4 main bolts first, that's the only seal between the roof and A/C. You probably has a fresh air vent though that could allow water in if the cover is cracked. Dirt builds up under the cover so the brown water might be from that. Some simple PL premium construck adhesive on the cover could fix any visible cracks.397Views0likes0CommentsRe: Chevy 454 Problems PLEASE HELP!!!
good tip with trying to start it with starter fluid after it dies. Could be any of these issues, tank not breathing right and causing a vacuum lock is my first guess. Choke on card is a good thought as well... Start simple and rule out those issues. Fuel, spark and air is all they need to run.879Views0likes0CommentsRe: My first major project – Fix damage from leaking window
I plan on using PL premium adhesive from Lowes/Home Depot. Get a small caulking gun and a few tubes. You can also buy the small metal plates with holes (check decking section of Lowes) to hold the wood frame together. If you use pressure treated then get decking screws made for PT wood. I would worry about the foam being glued, just cut new foam the exact size and it will stick into the cavity. You can use a touch of the same adhesive. I would replace the wood, glue it to the outside fiberglass and lean a piece of plywood against the outside with weight to make sure it sticks, then finish the inside.280Views0likes0Comments
