Had a successful weekend on the island.......Ol picked up Stevies Nisan pickup on the upper end of the island and met me and the dogs down at the harbor.....got stuff ashore and put away and headed back up the island in the truck....got to Stevies and he's already working on the Saab...took a couple hrs with both working on it..... .Lil' Saab is up and running.....not well but running non the less......me and Stevie got the clutch working...carb is in poor shape...runs but won't idle down.....idle air screw has zero effect...Solex kit is $85......new Weber is $180....the only thing is the Solex has antifreeze piped to it to run the "automatic" choke.....if I do the Weber I have to plug all that stuff and go with a manual choke....got a pretty good sized US cleaner coming soon..so probably do a kit and keep it stock. Made two trips down the island and back yesterday and today with it...not a working light on it, sketchy brakes...LOUD exhaust.....great header and two into one....brand new never exhausted through rear muffler.....but.......can't seem to see any pipe to connect the two...ain't a legal issue out there......no one inspects or registers cars or trucks out there....if u got the nutz....run it......gotta register yer boat though!!! Any way the lil bugger is stored at my brother's now......

Was goning to go up to my cousin's (remember the Lama lady??) and watch the hockey game last night.....got all cleaned up, fresh cloths some snacks and beverages in the cooler...headed up to the truck just before dark last night...hit the starter...wagged over a couple times and stopped...no starter?????.......got out, checked the bat terminals...nope.....got my flash light and started looking around......bat cable to the starter had metal fatigued right at the starter end...way down in there....right on the edge of dark.....the Mo Skeets appear....in force....I said ta 'ell with it and we listened to the game on the radio......just as well I didn't over exert muhself to go see 'em play....cause they certainly didn't exert themselves playin.....!!!!!! Saab was sitting right there....ready to roll..but not a light on her!! LOL!!

Fixed Stevies truck this morning.....had the stuff I needed right there.....generations of Scottish leftovers around....everything to good to throw away....might need that someday...not unusual on the island...not the breakdown or the fix....LOL!!

Either that or the gourmet smurf was smart enough to buy a REAL BBQ, the kind that uses charcoal.

Have to come clean.......The Saab does have one light...........the "charge" light is on......idling my multi meter reads 13.65 volts at the battery........so the one light that works is wrong!!!

Yup,..you will always get 13+ volts but you need amps to charge a battery.

Slackers again ! Sun. night and no one around !

Just got out of the stink remover , needed that bad !

 

[IEL]

Slackers....


I think my dad will be drooling over that big Canadien I got... Turns out the PM270 is his all time favourite saw? I have to get through these Macs before I tear down anything else..... I think 5 saws is a bit too many to have apart...

Have an amp clamp to clip over the cable to see what kind of amps are running through it?

Night man! Hope you feel better tomorrow.

That or a gauge in the line between the alt and the battery positive connection. A grounded out alt will show reverse flow on a gauge but not on an amp clamp.

Glad you had a good weekend Robin.

Been watching the tight rope walk, my wife's cousin was on the crew that strung the cable across the canyon. He says it's incredible.
