[1982 22R will NOT start cold without starter fluid in carburetor. Once started she runs like a champ! How can I fix this starting issue?]

You got 3 hands??? Gotta spray, wiggle and hold open at same time. Maybe a big rock on the pedal. The idea is to just hold the carb at WOT and not continually pump the accelerator pump, flooding the engine

[Help with new tires for the Chinook]

Sand blasting and hammer finished silver paint will hide a bunch of ugly rim issues.

[1982 22R will NOT start cold without starter fluid in carburetor. Once started she runs like a champ! How can I fix this starting issue?]

Simple tricks first.

Have somebody hold the gas petal to the floor and then squirt some WD-40 on the choke shaft and all the linkage. Wiggle it until it will close on its own.

If that doesn't work then you will have to start taking things apart. First thing to check is the coil spring in the round thing that the choke shaft goes into.

[House battery life if using CPAP??]

My wife's CPAP uses a wall wart to provide power for the unit. The mfg offered a 12v cigarette lighter plug as an option, making your own would not be rocket science. The machine discharges my gp 31 battery in 3 days with out charging. The humidifier heater uses most of the power so run the humidity level lower than you would at home.

[1990 Sunrader Remodel]

Get a wire wheel for drill, make long passes in a straight line.

[Hankook RA08 tires]

This question is often asked and the answer is always the same,,,, how much does your Toy weigh?? Weigh the front and rear axles separately and check your tire sidewall for their rated carry capacity. Its all simple math.

[RV heater ???]

[New cruise control install?]

Had a vacuum type at my altitude (5400 ft) max speed was 50mph, anything faster and the manifold vacuum would drop.

[Why are all the screws square drive on my Sunrader?]

Speed in screwing things together

[Truss options for roof sag.]

Go to a library or your gearhead friend. Get a copy of Hot Rod magazine Jan 2013. Go to pg 64, that's how you make proper roof supports.

Also cruse on over to www.yellowdogextrusion.com and look at their channels and tubing

[Who has (or has seen) the Coach Battery under the hood?]

I have not seen one. The AFM and air cleaner take up the space where the house battery would go.

[5 speed/22R/1 ton axle]

Change the rear ratio. It will give you the lower overall gear to get it going. The 5th gear will still be lower overall than with the 4sp.

[Anybody ever broken down when not in their own country?]

I broke down (alternator) in Ca once, does that count as a foreign country??

[Fan Clutches and how they really work]

A fan blade moves 90% of its air flow with the last 20% of the blade. The old style flex fans would actually limit air flow at hwy speeds, when the blades flattened out they blocked airflow when in a shroud.

Looks the same, but "they" are all gone.

[Best Gas Mileage of all Motorhomes!]

Sure a lot of wasted bandwidth on the mpg of things that aren't Toy MH's.

[Please help!..Dolphin secret lever]

There was an option on some water heaters called Motoraide it ran engine hot water through a loop in the water heater to give you hot water with out using propane.

What you need to do is get under your Toy and see where the hose goes. To work properly there have to be 2 hoses , hot out and a cold return.

[Disappearing Leak?]

Yup use a poker on the membrane.

[Best Gas Mileage of all Motorhomes!]

And you think Toyota MH are slow into a headwind

[1982 Huntsman U-Joint?]

There are 3 u joints on the drive shaft. Also the automatics have a rear output bushing that has been known to cause problems.

SAFELY jack up the camper and get under and check for lose things.

[1982 pickup wandering/loose steering]

Actually the other end of the RV can cause this problem Worn rear bushings can let the rear axle shift and "steer" the back end and cause wandering.

[Chat Down?]

The status board could use a moderated input. Seems the spammers have found about it

[Dual 12v in parallel?]

Be careful about "remote panels" your dealing with low voltage and high current. Power loss can be substantial.

[NO compression on 1 & 2 DEATH RATTLE!]

Rose colored glasses checks. With rocker cover off check the chain guides, you can see them with a flashlight. Dirty old oil can plug the tensioner, resulting in a bad rattle, broken chain guides can do the same (factory guides are plastic.

With both valves open on a cylinder blow compressed air in spark plug hole, then adjust valves.

Good luck
