FYI to brian kemp and randall.? Borrowed a friends meter and found that my
battery was putting out 12.8 volts instead of the 51.? Dunno why my meter
failed me but must be worthless.? I had put it away still turned on instead of
shutting it off.? I'm wondering if that burned something out or ruined the
meter.? It has been several years since I used it.
Anyway all is well.? Update on another issue in the past.? I had complained of
llittle heat coming from a new heater I had put in the tr-3, which had been
overhauled so had clean passages ect.? I had routed the outlet heater hose up
over the heater which I think caused a partial or full air lock.? Seems not
enough pressure to take the water straight up and over.? This past winter I
switched the hose to down under the heater making it much easier for the water
to pass and circulate.? I'm getting much hotter air from the heater and also
think the car is running cooler than before.? Just a note to anyone having the
same problem or issue.
Someone mentioned getting a good job done at small independent shops.? I have
found that some of these places can do excellent work for a fraction of the
cost of "well known" shops.? I had an Amishman who builds/repairs buggys cover
my side screens? and did a great job.? If memory serves me it was around 50
bucks apiece.? Also had a flywheel shaved for much less than 100.? It does take
some searching and asking around to find them but when a good one is found it's
a treasure.
thats all
gary n.
