That one you helped me get does a good job on carbs, they dance and spin about when its running and I can clearly see stained liquid coming out of every hole and orifice in the carbs body.

Hey Ron Happy 4th!! Thanks for that number for the Volvo guy.......didn't get time to call yesterday and after being cautioned about being precise, I figured it best that I have the time, multimeter, tools and have the car right in front of me so I am not wasting his time or mine........I have dealt with quite a few guys with names like his, in the Euro cabinet hardware business.....they don't tolerate "I guess" or "About 1/8 inch".....they only deal in hard numbers/readings etc. My Green Books came yesterday as well as new OEM Bosch plugs, wires, cap and rotor button.....everything is pointing to the module...got one coming...we'll see.... got a couple more tests to try today....mostly to eliminate obvious possible problem areas......old plugs looked good...all the same color........flame trap hose was split...new hose and trap on the way......trap crudded up but not totally clogged.......read about this and what APITA it was to get to, under the intake.....mine is early enough that they still had it located up on top of the valve/cam cover.....easy as pie to get to..couple hose clamps and the trap is in your hand .LOL!!....Learning.....learning.......never Volvoed before....nothing like a good problem hunt to familiarize yourself with the entire engine compartment...and how it was put together....LOL!!!
Wolfgang the Volvo mechanic,.....just seems all wrong,....should be Svend ,Lars,Ivan,Inge or something more Swedish.......LOL

I need a new ultrasonic, the little one from HF worked for a good while, but now you have to hold the button on and plug it in, then unplug, and plug in etc etc to get it to start. I need to upgrade cause I find myself doing more quad/bike carbs than anything now days.

The flame trap on the others is not really that hard to do.
done a couple.
hardest thing is heater fan/heater coil.
nice working with real nuts and bolts instead of plastic clips and shrouds and WTF is this !! ?? stuff all over the place

Robin,,nuther failure point,after time and age.
like after 40 years stuff dont break
upper radiator hose.
with the clamp on tight and the hose bouncing around over the years can cause stress where the nipple attaches to the radiator.
usually seperates on the top.
worth a good look at.

Took my midget cat fer a walk. Poor cat was attacked by a bird ! LMAO !! Kept dive bombing it ! LOL Cat had to run for cover ! LOL Bird was lucky this time , seen her catch a few out of the air like that. LOL
Dang bird darn near hit me twice !

I like that one , just think I want one a little bigger.
Like Robins idea of cleaning handguns in one ! And many other things that size.
Only bad thing about my cheap one , is I have to keep resetting it. I want something that will run a lot longer without baby sitting it.
Bigger is more useful in these machines.
The price sure goes up the bigger they are ! Way up ! LOL
Love to have one big nuff for a power head ! LOL
Have to take a second mortgage for one that big ! LOL

Thanks Ron......but already noticed that one....the nipple in the top of the rad looks like the solder joint has been leaking...after I get it running I plan on taking a day.... pulling the rad and unsolder the nipple, clean and resolder.....plan on new timing belt, tensioner and fan belts at the same time while there is plenty of room to work....original fan belts......think the timing belt was replaced in '97....I doubt many miles since but belts are cheep and ti me (16 yrs)will take its toll just as surely as miles...Thanks again for the heads up!! Keep 'em coming!!!!

O yeah......the place where I got mine sold huge ones too.....big enough to put a truck radiator in.....like $15,000.00....mine was a little less than $500 delivered (next Tues FEDX says)......it's for the business so can write off....might as well have a decent one I can use for other stuff too.....I am sure I'll have uses way beyond what I'm thinking now!!!
I keep watching for a used one , nuttin yet. LOL

sperate drum for them on the back of the main drum,,they always seem to freeze up.
Sounds more like a BMW mechanic to me....
Fun fact, The Husqvarna company (started as a firearms company) was actually named after the town it started in, Husqvarna sweden.
The original name was Husqvarna Veppinfabriks. (literally gun factory of Husqvarna)
Something really cool came with some torch Orings last night. The sender decided to slip them in the package. Its what I believe to be the worlds smallest rose bud torch tip. First picture is the tip alone. Second is an adaptor he sent along, third is the tip and adaptor in my favourite smith aw1.
