You can get them from the Snap=off man, Wally Mart, Mac Tac Tools and here I've also seen them at Crappy Tire and Princess Auto. I'm not sure of the brand name, but they were retailing as low as 7.99 for a set. As silly as they look, they certainly are handy in tight spots. AAA batteries are a might expensive tho.

Over the weekend, someone requested info on computers for sale.
Check out this website:
> http://www.surplusdirect.com/
They sell factory refurbished equipment, as well as surplus equipment.
Their prices are very good especially if you are willing to purchase last
year's model. They have weekly emails of specials which is worth getting.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: What is this button??
This sounds like the brake test and warning light setup on Euro Rovers with
dual brake masters. if that's on, you need to (it sounds like) reset the
system switch. I had a Volvo with almost the exact same setup - it was a
PITA even in a street car.

Subject: Help with Series III
I have just bought a 1972 Series III with only 38800 miles on it.
I bought it from the original owner who has only put 6000 miles on it
in the last 20 years!! Since 1977 it has been used mainly for plowing
her driveway in the winter and was garaged the rest of the time. It
was last used in the winter of 1993. Bodywork, frame, bulkhead and
interior are in very good shape.
I now have it in my garage at home and spent some time on Sunday and
yesterday getting it ready to try and start it. I bought new points,
condenser plugs, leads, distributor cap and fuel filter and installed
them all, cleaning and inspecting things as I went along.
I took the top off the carburetor, the bowl of which was bone dry. I
cleaned out all of the sediment and took out the jets and cleaned
those as well. I hooked it all back up and went to the fuel pump to
prime it. Here is where I hit my first problem - I wasn't getting any
fuel. The glass sediment bowl remained empty. The fuel guage reads
that the tank is over half full. I finally tracked it down to the mesh
filter over the end of the fuel supply pipe in the tank being caked
solid. I cleaned it off and connected every thing back up. I was now
getting a healthy supply of fuel to the carb.
The big moment had arrived - would it run? It started on the 3rd
attempt but initially sounded a little rough. With the choke fully on
it soon settled down and was running reasonably well. However any
attempt to open the choke, even just a little, resulted in the engine
dying. Unfortunately I had to pack in working on it for the day so
didn't have time to do any troubleshooting on this problem. It will be
next weekend before I have a chance to look at it again so I thought I
would ask for some advice in the meantime.
This brings me to my questions.
1. The fuel in the tank is 5 years old. I intend trying to empty the
tank and put fresh fuel in it. Would fuel this old cause any problems
if I just left it in the tank - if so what problems.
2. What is the easiest way of removing the tank drain plug? Is there
any danger of damaging the tank trying to remove it?
3. What are the things I should be looking out for with the Zenith
carb that might be causing the choke problem described above? Are
there any initial settings of the mixture and idle speed screws? The
carb is fitted with the "throttle prop system" and a solenoid fuel cut
off valve. Do these things cause any problems?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
Regards
Mike

]Date: Tue, 17 Feb 1998 17:38:12 +0100 From: Adrian Redmond <channel6@post2.tele.dk> Subject: Re: What is this button?? This is the brake servo test circuit which is mandatory here in Europe. Basically you have a pressure switch on the servo, and a similar switch at the valve on the opposite side of the motor, where the brake lines split and run front and rear. If either of these switches loses pressure, the red lamp in the test switch lights, telling you that your brakes are faulty. The switch itself just dummies a fault to test the lamp. It does not test the circuit itself, but as this is failsafe, that shouldn't be a problem. The usual leaky pipes and sometimes leaky vacuum reservoir of the SIII makes for repetitive blinking of this light, as does harsh braking which temporarily "empties" the vacuum reserve" - this is irritating and completly normal. Add a vaccum servo pump and the light will go out for most of the time. good luck Adrian Redmond --------------------------------------------------- CHANNEL 6 TELEVISION DENMARK (Adrian Redmond) Foerlevvej 6 Mesing DK-8660 Skanderborg Denmark --------------------------------------------------- telephone (office) +45 86 57 22 66 telephone (home) +45 86 57 22 64 telefacsimile / data +45 86 57 24 46 mobile GSM (EFP unit) +45 40 74 75 64 mobile GSM (admin) +45 40 54 22 66 mobile NMT +45 30 86 75 66 e-mail channel6@post2.tele.dk --------------------------------------------------- Visit our homepages! www.channel6.dk --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------[ <- Message 11 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980218 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

cut
off valve. Do these things cause any problems?<
Sounds like the engines running to lean.
After sitting for so long, the gaskets have probably dried up and are
leaking. (Vacuum leaks)
Get the engine idling as best you can and try spraying some carb cleaner
over the joints in the intake system - Carb to manifold, manifold to
head, around the vacuum advance pipe etc. If the engine speeds up,
you've found a leak. Try tightening up the manifold to head bolts.

Do these things cause any problems? The fuel problems are almost certainly caused by the old gas . I wouldn't touch the drain plug but use a syphon to remove the old gas and then fill with new. After a bit th problems should clear up. If not suspect blocked jets. If after a while it starts to run very rich suspect a hard O ring in the carb.

Re: Old gas:
I had a similar problem with the fuel on a motorbike I once owned. I
drained the tank and tossed the aged fuel into my snowblower to burn it up
- at which point the snowblower refused to run...
I drained it out of THAT, refilled with fresh gas to the 3/4 level, then
added 1/4 tank of the ancient fuel.
This ran, though a bit unhappily.
Moral of the story, drain the tank into a container and toss the gas into
your lawnmower/snowblower/weedwhacker/generator or whatever to dispose of
it. Small engines running at a constant speed are a lot happier with old
gas than new auto engines.
Of course, you could always mix in some acetone to get rid of the
fuel....and your valves and piston crowns.....<evil grin.....)

Ok, here's the bit about no LR content:
Yesterday, I drove by a Nat'l Guard armory and saw a way cool Unimog in
camo paint parked near the Oshkosh trucks (is it just as broken, I don't
know). It had a snow blade or bulldozer type blade on the front for when we
get snow here in Miami. Didn't know the NG used them. Does anyone know if the
NG gets rid of their equip't and how?
First useless sighting:
At the Miami Boat Show, one or two power-boat manufacturers had LR
products hooked up to their boats-on-trailers. (the only vehicle maker "there"
was Chevy.)
Second useless sighting:
Zodiac (inflatables) puts RRs in their catalogue.
Third useless sighting:
Avon (also blow-up boats) has a CT Disco crossing a river on their raft
in their catalogue. Go Team Turkey!
Obligatory sighting question: "Was it anyone on the list?" There, I'm done.

The NG uses these things to dig trenches. We used them for a VERY brief time in the 82d Abn, these things suck. Not the unimog, but the blade thing on them. The NG gets rid of equipment by auction.

On acceleration the butterfly begins to open and uncovers two small "pin" holes just above the idle drilling.( where the butterfly touches the carb throat) These are the "progression ports " which help to richen the mixture slightly on acceleration before the main jet kicks in. Both are supplied with fuel through a vertical drilling which stops and turns to the horizontal plane at the idle screw. They are both probably gummed up and by closing the choke butterfly you are making the main jet do it`s thing .Solution is to clean out the drillings and blow them out (no poking of wire) Unscrew the idle screw and you can spray carb cleaner into the hole (watch your eyes).Keep in touch and we will guide you through more info on carbs if necessary.

I've got the Bullhide brand In the back of my full-size, and I can't say
enough good about it. It's been in place for about 1 1/2 years now, and it's had
gravel and dirt both shoveled out of the back of it and now marring of thr
surface. Nothing slides around in the back of it either. I don't know how well
it
would insulate against the cold, but they put on 1/2" in the floor and 1/4" on
the sides although I imagine that you could go thicker in the sides if you
wanted(they put 1/2" on the tail gate as well). Good luck,

I did a quick search of past sales for Unimogs. Didn't find any.

Well, I read them to SWMBO, and we both howled with laughter! But, sorry to tell you folks, Tigger still has to go. SWMBO has given me better mileage (25 years so far), is a better ride (you can figure that one out yourselves), has gotten me out of a lot of tough spots (yes, a lot of wenching, ah, I mean winching), and is cheaper (almost) to operate! Tigger is still on the block. I hope to have more photos up on the website of him tomorrow. Anyone know of a good '92 RR for sale??

I know that the later thick shaft transfer cases do not have the same problem, but the low range reduction on these cases is not as low as the earlier transfer cases. Is it possible to machine out the intermediate gear is basically what I am asking, and by how much can you???? ================================================= Craig Murray craigm@bcn.com.au 1955 86" 2.25 Diesel, Difflock, Snorkel, PTO Winch.

You might replace that. It does help to have the sump full--to the top mark on the dipstick, not just the one labeled low.

I always have the oil filled to the full mark, and I do not believe that it is the o-ring, I believe that it is the pump pick not being in the oil, as the pickup is right at the back of the motor, and the problem only starts to occur when heading down hill in the degree of 35+ degrees. ================================================= Craig Murray craigm@bcn.com.au 1955 86" 2.25 Diesel, Difflock, Snorkel, PTO Winch.
