    im with you on the tanks on the rack. like you say, look at the probabilities. all the safety measures you can take won't stop the dumb a" "
  2. extech
    so do you have power or manual steering

    for sure the sway bar. really worth having even if you have to have someone weld the end link mounts on. also i noticed your exhaust pipe is kinked where it goes over the axle. can't let that be

    i don't see the sway bar end link mounts on your frame. should be a tab with a hole welded to the frame. might be there . just cant see. the two axles look the same to me

    i would take the upper and lower control arms with the spindles. save the alignment shims from where the upper arm mounts. if the center link is there take it with any other linkage

    can you give us more to go on? 12v, 120v, plugged into shore power, engine running etc.

    i think the thermister in the egt is how this system knows egr is flowing. also excess egr can burn up the passages

    i don't know about spindle extensions. i kept the original spindles and replaced the hub and rotor, caliper and backing plates. i think there was an issue with the lower ball joint being replaced , but can't remember

    newest info i have is for 89. it says the same thing as on the 22. t to e1, pull the throttle back towards idle to see if timing stabilizes.

    you can simply increase needle thread tension, but you risk having thread fray from over tension. the idea is to have the knots positioned correctly by matching bobbin and thread tensions. it shouldn't matter the thickness of the material you are sewing, but the size of the thread changes the tension exerted . given the same tension adjustment a bigger thread will be tighter. this is why you have too much bobbin tension.
  12. extech
    increasing needle tension will pull the knots up more to where they belong, your bobbins fit in a case that you drop in? or just put the bobbin in the hole. i'm surprised there is no bobbin tension adjustment. have never seen a machine without adjustment possible.
  13. extech
    your bobbin tension is too high. the knots should be halfway between the top and bottom. you could look at it as the needle thread tension is too low also. i would loosen the bobbin tension first and if still having trouble tighten both

    first i wouldn't use any glue. next would you post a closeup pic of your stitches, one from front one from underside. i may be able to figure out your tangle issue. to make your corners nicer, round the corners a bit. that sharp 90 is really hard to get smooth

    you are so lucky to live where you can do as you please with your rig. in ca. everything has to be there and working
