Thanks for the explanation, David. I had no trouble sticking a "Kentucky credit card" down the fill pipe, so I guess my 89 Caravan didn't have the safety device. No drain on the Caravan, either. I u

John, I've never tried it with a S-10 Blazer, but I did try it with a Triumph Sports 6 a few years back. It towed beautifully up to about 50 mph. At 52 mph, the towed vehicle suddenly started swervi

I must be missing something ... if you can't get the old pulley off, you're going to have to buy a new one, right ? Buy a pulley & measure it (or else buy an engine and then buy a pulley to fit it).

Turns out there was a recent class action lawsuit over this, which CH and others lost. Hopefully that will cut down on the "hp inflation". Not quite true. No electric motor is perfectly efficient, w

IMO it's a myth, at least as stated. AFAIK, all other things being equal, the 3450 rpm motor should develop half the starting torque of the 1725, which would make it the same once it was geared back

Not sure I understand your thinking here, Karl. A quick check of HF's web site turned up a compressor pump rated 5 hp, 145 psi, with a displacement of 20.5 cfm @ 1370 rpm or .015 cf/rev. If we scale

My local Home Depot carries both simplex and duplex 5-20R receptacles. Most likely, Lowe's, OSH, etc. do too. The cost, while quite a bit higher than "residential grade" 5-15R receptacles, is still

I'm curious, Jon ... since this will involve new wires and breakers anyway, why not add a couple of 220v circuits instead ? Almost all motors in this size range can be easily re-wired to 220v, and a

The list server converts everything to "plain text", meaning 7-bit printable ASCII. The degree symbol (and many, many more) is not part of this set, so it gets converted to the "nearest" symbol. Yes

Same problem, essentially none of the dangerous particles are in the air over a dirt road. Breathing the dust from a dirt road is not especially good for you, but will not cause silicosis. Silicosis

Sorry to hear that, John. But you can still ask your eye doctor for "reading only" glasses with the astigmatism correction but without the bifocals. Sounds like that would work much better for you t
