Sticky high idle speed
Coming down to idle slowly (as in normal driving), the idle settles at around 1080-1100. If I tap the accelerator pedal and let it snap back, it'll drop down to about 970-1000 which feels more correct. Pulling the linkage by hand near the carbs won't bring the idle down. I'm looking for ideas on whe...

Re: Pertronix
There are a lot of folks on this forum who have successfully converted to PinzSSI, fewer with Pertronix but they are out there. I posit that the number of people who *talk* about their ignition system isn't a reasonable indicator of how many *use* a particular system. I think Pertronix folks are la...

Re: Exhaust smoke, oil in one carburetor ?
I'd pull the spark plugs and inspect them. That'll tell you a lot.
When the plugs are out, seize that moment to take a look with your borescope. Don't have one? They're cheap these days.
Still nothing? Compression check.

Re: Pertronix
I believe the Pertronix is separate from the cap/plugs as I have Pertronix with original plugs+wires+cap.

Re: Fat Fabrications Western Service Tour 2023
Would be great to meet up when you're in town, but the truck has been good lately so not needing service.

Valve stem extension for spare?
Has anyone determined a good valve stem extension to add to the spare tire so it's easy to check & fill it w/o removal? Lots of options out there, so before I engineer my own solution, I'd like know of others have a good pick of parts that have worked well. Some possible options below: 616XkXML9...

Re: New Optima lithium Orangetop coming
1C discharge voltage vs. temperature is interesting, but only relevant if the engine starting current is comparable to the 1C discharge rate in the graph. I've not measured a Pinz starter in cold conditions to know what current is representative. CCA is what we need to know. Another issues is chargi...

Re: What do you think of this 710M ?
$24.9k USD seems a bit high for an M, but I don't know your local market. Underside looks pretty clean. It's probably been repainted at some point. Engine sounded normal. Take it for a drive at highway speed and check for driveline vibration, especially a low-frequency (less than 1Hz) vibration that...

Re: Heater ground connection
Thanks, David. Sad that it introduces a parasitic load on the battery, meaning when the main disconnect is turned off that the battery isn't truly (completely) disconnected.
And yes, the heater is off.
@John, this is the standard gasoline-powered heater that's just behind the left side front seat.

Re: Noise reduction with intercom
Can you comment more about which model Rugged Radio product you're using and the icom connection? I'm also looking for a good solution on this, and would want to interface with a Yaesu radio to allow both intercom and HAM comms. Our team generally moves as a pack, and comms are primarily over 2m rad...
