    You know the floodgates have been wide open and way too long, and everybody has become mighty comfortable with the entire caper … and frankly, I feel our younger generation doesn’t give a flying hoot about bringing jobs back here and that respect the king is probably wasting his time anyway, but I gotta give him a hats off for the effort … bob

    Ever since the company started in 1966 they have always been open to new ideas used to be Viking freight lines before Federal Express bought them I guess they thought they’d give these things a shot. Most of us didn’t like them some guys did.

    Fedex bought a bunch of them a few years back. They were nothing but junk. They were smooth and quiet. Everything works real good heater air condition stereo but they were the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and I was always something wrong with them one I had it was down in deadline Like 12 times and nine months. I couldn’t wait to get out of that thing the company wound up getting rid of all of them in the next go around where peterbilts… bob

    As I mentioned retired, you can screw off all you want, and you always have the following day to work on that

    I was going to go mess with it today after I fertilize my grass, not feeling so good. I don’t know what’s the matter. Not even sure if I’m gonna get out there today.

    You know somebody mentioned air and fuel. I do have a small intake line seeping. I have been ignoring it for quite some time. I wonder if that would cure it

    Ha ha that’s another thing you mentioned that people don’t realize till they get too far into it. Send you all over the United States and have your sitting half the time. One of our weather Man, Here in Reno. Quit the TV station and trained for a class a license wound up hiring on with swift. My wife follows him on Facebook. He claims they pay him to hang around and wait. I don’t know where that started or how much he makes but that’s a great. Thing to offer and I don’t know how long that has been going on especially with that cheap shit outfit but even if it’s minimum wage It’s better than nothing.

    One thing about that engine it’s got great compression. It’s very hard to turn it over with a bar.

    Nobody wants to do that kind of work anymore. Too many hours low pay a lot of times especially these days. It takes a long time to get into a good out fit but does not help with their drivers shortage not like the old days you just wait your turn and jump right into a teamster sweetheart deal

    I think the fingerprint is only the first time

    If this helps anybody it’s not consistent sporadic throw a couple of puffs I then it goes away for a few seconds maybe 10 when it comes back again on and off it’s not steady also mentioned a buddy of mine down there and California recommended that to me a long time ago about advancing the pump slightly that also works that was his first suggestion when I mentioned the issue norm Taunton… some of you know him
  17. mowerman

    I drove at home when i bought it 30 years ago. That’s the only time it’s ever seen the road. I started every weekend and let it run for about 10 minutes. That’s about the biggest workout it gets.
  20. mowerman
    Wow, I’d like to go there myself. Maybe I’ll put it on my bucket list.

    That was excellent thanks
  22. mowerman
    Yes, I thought of that but like a car back in the day with a.(NORMAL)distributor would need adjustment occasionally
  23. mowerman
    Thanks for that. I did mention. I found one exhaust valve too tight most everything else was pretty close. I’m hoping maybe that will cure my issue. I also thought of that. I don’t think it’s ever been changed. It sure doesn’t look like it.
  24. mowerman
    I would’ve liked to be there when they dropped it off Thanks for that…. Bob
  25. mowerman
    That’s quite a rig you got there Bubba I am like Joey. I really don’t like to drive anywhere, but it would be fun just to go to our local gambling casino and have breakfast with it. 2 miles down the road sorry I can’t help you with much of your information. Good luck with it… bob
