Press accelerator before starting?

One pump to set the choke. You didn’t say what engine, this would apply to a carbureted engine.

This reminds me of a few weeks ago. Buddy of mine calls me up and says “hey man, the HMMWV is dead. Can you send someone out here with slave cables?”

Not wanting to drive like thirty miles in 40 degree weather just to jump start a truck I said “try this- have someone cover the exhaust with the dispatch book. Crank it for seven seconds while giving it gas. Stop cranking it, wait five seconds, try again while still blocking the exhaust and still giving it gas.”

He texts me a little later saying he would have hugged me and lifted me off the ground for that MacGyver fix if I had been there, and that he just started laughing when it started up ?

don't forget to adjust the ignition points .. LOL

Still have a dwell tachometer in a box in the garage somewhere. Timing light, too. Such fun taking that stuff to the dragstrip to play with the timing advance between runs, and packing ice on the manifold around the carb.

You might want to read the label... I don't think it will stabilize cabinets whether they are indoors or out.

What I meant by that is I keep them indoors since the garage gets hot in the summer and the inside house temp is steady. Either way, I think you're right. Time to take them out to the desert and put a few rounds in them

Not even that connected.

The pedal goes to the computer. The computer drives the throttle body. How much and when is only vaguely related to pedal position. Especially when cold.

Yep, CANbus and all. I try not to get in too deep when making a quick explanation.

Some guy busted my chops in another thread for not writing a dissertation on a different topic. I’ve come to realize though, that most people just want to know so much.

I still have a can or two. Not sure what to do with them! I think they are in the laundry cabinet indoors for stability.

Ya know— I think it actually will remove laundry stains. ?

Sorry I was just giving you a hard time. I do like the target practice idea though.

Pressing the throttle does nothing for startup. The ECU takes control and your input from the throttle means nothing until the ECU receives the signal that the engine is running. Thus, the reason why the starter disengages as opposed to keep on trying to start it.

As for old stuff, I like extra carbs when working on my carbs.

HA! Love it . . . glad I’m not the only one posting pics like this!

Those will be the only vehicles running after the big ones drop...... Ill be down to a 4wd Kabota Tractor and a John Deer zero turn. The Kabota is great off road come to think of it.....

It's always a fine line. What's "enough" and what is "too much"? I like to hit the major high points without getting into too much detail.

I'll get into some detail but I try to avoid the wall of text if I can.

EMP Shield.com- home/vehicles/RV- about the size of an old voltage regulator but heavy. Work as claimed or snake oil? Wont know until the big one drops, lightning strikes, or a Big sun flare. $937, home and 2 vehicles.

Going to look into that one.

Going to look into that one.

Looked it up, price is from 8/21 and had an un-recalled discount. @https://www.empshield.com/emp-technology/. I just had to look it up, new 78% smaller vehicle unit $858 for 2, that of course I bought. ( I have vehicles for the old large ones)

The bores are covered, so I can't be sure, but that looks like a 4500 Dominator...?

I can give you a bunch of ideas on how to use them. Sure, some say those ideas are recklessly dangerous but what to they know about having fun?
