Re: Diesel vs gasoline

Re: 448 Onan starter and more. Let's talk Studebakers!

I have a point here! Years ago I cleaned up the block on my Studebaker Avanti and painted it so it looked nice. A few years later the engine would start well when Cold, but it was a real challenge when hot. I finally pulled the starter and hauled it to an electronics rebuilder. He said nothing wrong...

Re: Tiller rebuild started

Believe me: those tines have a lot of wear left in them. Those tines are still doing a good job when the tines are very pointed and sharp! I used to till gardens until a few years ago tines were hard to get.
