Any recommendations for a small, affordable USC for saw carbs? It has to be cheaper in the long run than buying carb cleaner spray.... Harbor freight isn't an option. I might try the gun shops? I know there is a little Hornady unit out there, but I can't remember the cost.
 
That Dodge better be a Diesel....

5.9! gasser! 3/4ton Haha it did good and grossed 17K (see previous posted pic hauling 18' steel triaxle and 70hp JD) Had a drinking problem... Did pull 28' camper and supplies etc up black MTN at 47mph. Thought I was high cotton till uncle passed me in the cummins :( After last trip to VA pulling 20' tag along empty and using almost more oil than gas, it went to Clist and sold in 3 days. haha. Cant hate on a truck that gets the job done. And it was way cheaper than a diesel. Numerous over loaded hauls for it. A trip through a ditch one morning, etc etc. I miss it some days. It ran out good on the interstate. Now I drive a civic :rock: Sold the 88 F250 7.3 to my uncle. Thought I was fixin to score a Cummins but, its on hold right now.

Bedtime. Worked my 8, gun shop visit, came home and mowed and weedeated till dark. Up at it early tomorrow. Gotta make progress on tractor shed while I have a skidsteer here.

HF or flea bay would be the cheapest. Nothing else I know of ? Maybe the swap thread here ?

Hmm the cheapest little hornady is $120 at cabelas...
For that much I might as well hold out for the $320 hornady magnum sonic with two ultrasonic generator hings and a tank heater. All stainless, looks a lot better built.
Might wait until christmas for that one... Sure looks like a nice unit.

What do you all use for a solutition for usc cleaning carbs? I imagine you wouldnt want anything too harsh...

Harbor freight isnt a thing in canada. Our version of it (princess auto) wouldnt have anything like that.

I figure if entry level $30 one works, I would try it. If the only entry level ones are $100+ in canada, I would rather save up the $300 for a really good one. I think the heater would be well worth it. Maybe I could offset the cost by renting it to my dad to clean his rifle parts... LOL
 
Wife is starting to ask questions. For some strange reason ive had 1-2 boxes in the mail almsot everyday this week....not big boxes, small boxes. but still, shes asking questions, and Ive only got so many answers.....

Glad its finally Friday....only 9 more hours and Im home free.




knew that was coming!


Anyone else here really like the old flat fender dodge power wagons?
One of the vehicle on my bucket list of things I need to own at some point. Along with a series 1 land Rover, and something with a two stroke Detroit diesel.
I really like the big, old, slow, go-anywhere 4x4 trucks. I am thinking of going with a late 80s-1992 toyota 4runner with the 22re I4 engine as my first truck. Good on gas, and lots of fun.




love the power wagons


theres an 070 clutch sitting in my Mailbox as we speak. and there will be an Echo 280E coil in there tomorrow. and then apparently two more boxes on Monday. Thanks a lot guys, really helping me keep my marriage together.




hehehe...those boxes are gonna cost you....

:( :( :( motorcycle talk..

Did pretty good on my first bike ^ (ported, cammed, jetted, pipe, etc YZ450F) Wrecked a few times in the rocks down at the NationalForest. But worse crash was in the driveway 10 feet away from the door. Had turned off gas, and it leaned out, kicked rear end around.. Gravels in the knee and arm. Possible broken bone in the wrist that is still tender occasionally. Helmet saved the noggin cause it has a skuff across it.

its the weekend!!

That's what I'm talking about right there!

Water and a little purple power is what I use. Works good fer me.
 
I'm on it Unc......couple hrs later ..but....Daughter passed her MC "Rider Safety Course" yesterday.....didn't fall off again...now a legally licensed MC/Auto driver......pretty darn remarkable considering she had never driven any form of motorized two wheeled unit...nor had anything but a very, very tiny amount clutch time with a car....good course...they teach a lot of great stuff most never learn by just driving on the road.....not that in itself is a substitute for experience but a great base to start building experience on.....cool.....

Heading for the island with the dogs and OL for a very short recharge.....looks like the "J" thing is not quite over as I had hoped.....another couple days at least. But need to get to the island..... Gotta get the Saab moved and it's spot mowed.....sitting in grass is probably the worst possible thing for it....get it moved, mowed and pull the carb so it can come back and spend some "Quality Time" in the brandy new USC and then get a kit.....Have a good weekend All.......
