rods are the same for both engines. piston and crank are not.

yip, grass cart

sorry mate, but the threaded rod for steering links won't last 5 mins......... been there, failed !! get some thick walled tube and thread inside

won't it be a YT175 motor if it is a pull start ? can't remember any 2 wheelers having a pull start in that size range. believe they share some parts with dt175, but i doubt you'll have a 6-speeder unless it's a hybrid

have you tried cleaning out under and around the oven box ?? they are often full of soot/ bird nesting/ etc and the fire wont draw if it blocked.

really ?? i thought CFM at pump was CFM at pump, and FAD was exactly that. so if it a 3 cyl 15CFM compressor, then each would be 5 CFM so pressure and flow would be equal to single cylinder 15CFM ?? flow is more dependant on size of delivery plumbing and tool fittings.

did the glass bearings fail ? i would be inlcined to use a toyota box, w-50 maybe ?

what the advantage having 2 extra cylinders??

what's your budget ? the belt driven 15cfm ingersoll rand i bought has served me well for over 12 years, this is it's 17cfm brother for similar money: http://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/compressors-pumps/compressors/auction-907062266.htm here's the one i have: http://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/compressors-pumps/compressors/auction-910077738.htm weak point i have found is the wheels don't like rough ground ( centres break) and they nearly fit through the rear-side window of a VN Commonwhore !

i often found the hilux abs fault was often wheel sensors covered in crud, or wiring damaged near sensors

poorly adapted factory bits usually work epic, one dosn't want to over-complicate things too much. 32/36 is probably one of the better options without the expense of a side-draft set-up. unsure on jetting for your usage, only ever supplied the adaptor and mainfold, or used them on bigger engines without changes.

what cable actuator are you using on the Weber ?

yeah, fuck, bugger. dragged the uki shitter into shed last nite,ripped deck off, today made pivot points and reinstalled deck,to find i will need multi-stage ewe-rooter to make it work better-er-er-er-. pivot friggen nice, though........ one handed empty stys

it's a case of who you know, and who you ask 'round these there parts' found a free 12v pump, just gotta remove also sourced 2 x 30mm ewe-rooters. one at 420mm-ish stroke the other 300mm ish stroke. $35 each just need to scab a diverter and control valve and could be in business.

that is currently my first failable option, then i go to dedicated hydraulic pump if it dosn't work.

only if FOB mounted, otherwise be knuckle-smashingly cunty to pump up. ideally mechanical or electric pump so i can add another aux ram and diverter valve later for additional duties. push comes to shove i can use a boat winch or a manual ram, but i do like the idea of in-cab control

it dosn't need to be super high spec, as the deck is only 1050mm long, and the pivot point will be approx 250mm from end, so there is only about 80% of total weight being lifted (400kg if wet wood). the deck only needs to be raised 450mm-ish to get it past 45 degrees, so if it is on a scissor-type underbody lift, ram would only need 250mm of stroke, or 500mm if direct acting front of body. going to have a look at some rams this morning and have a chat to a couple of system designers, so will report back. fucken 'puter froze on me last nite whilst bidding on an old hospital bed that had been used for M/Cycle repairs, manual pump, but remote ram, could have worked, if not could have used it for the aux ram i want to employ.

how are they driven ? pulley, helical cut gear, or electric ?

originally had the low-pressure Facet pump(without reg), lent it to a mate who accidently sold it with his car and replaced with higher presure Facet pump. both self sensing, bith the higher pressure one would flood slightly and bog down too much, thus needing to regulate pressure. can't remember who's book i was reading, either Carrol Smith or corky Bell, but he claimed 0.25PSI of fuel difference can pull major gains (lap times) in certian NA applications, believe it was .5sec around certain US tracks in stock RX-7

yip, seen that one. 24v and spendier than i hope to spend. there is this one: http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=901161295, but would need someone to pick-up, strip essentials and freight down to me. price is right, but would expect to owe me many times that price once in Timaru. i have found a suitable? ram at local scrappies, and did find what i hoped was a hilux P/s pump, but reckon it is L200. does use remote resivour though, but as you mentioned, unsure if vane pump gonna do the business??

stockcar guys have pushed the price of those electric P/S pumps through the roof

 thats good to know. they are as common as mud, might even have one stashed in a box in the bowels of my shed quote name="Dolan" post="1534719" timestamp="1433981131"] are you wanting it to be tipping just so you can have a spot to chuck ya spare wheel that's not on the deck itself? that's how i read your post? if so, perhaps a low profile roofrack to chuck it up on would be the go? not ideal if you get a puncture and have a load that you need to tip off the deck to get at the spare want a tipping deck for ease of unloading, as well as access to best available space for spare wheel and keeping weight low roof rack idea would have merits, but will get in the way when the soft-top is rolled back for spotlighting rabbits,possums etc

airbag not suitable, as i want to run auxillary rams later....... if i go hydraulic. will get it hinged for a start so i can mount spare wheel, but it really needs mechancal tipping as will be doing plenty of firewood etc with it, as i am clearing broom,blackberry, bracken etc

ok, so i have bought a certed 2-door flat deck vitara for our Catlins block clearing mission. i need to make the deck tipping, as there is no other suitable position for the spare wheel apart from a cradle above fuel tank, and there isn't enough room to slide it under deck. options are: 12v pump/resiviour off small taillift/wheelchair hoist , engine driven pump struggling to find a 12v unit cheaply, used to give these away 5 years ago !!!, so engine mounted could be next cheapest option. if it is engine driven, can i replace existing P/S pump and run steering on hydraulic fluid as opposed to ATF ? alternatively , would a P/S pump provide enough pressure to run a small hydraulic ram or 2 ?

i am using procomp/profuel(cfr) rotary type adjustable reg for both the DHLA40,s and now 45's on Levin as i was advised non-adjustable ones can still over fuel
