Hey man.. it COULD be a fuel filter but by the way it sounds you may not have one your gas tank can have a vacuum/not vent right.. if you want to find the filter simply follow the fuel line.. These cars are stupid simple or ill just take 5 minutes to make a pic for you Looks like this from the side I'd just pull the thermostat housing and check er out.. with a ghetto fan rigged up and no thermostat (low/no heat from heater core) ill promise you that your radiator is plugged up and that was a cheap "fix" look for a radiator and remove the rigged fan heres a parts link http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/pts/2058059213.html- New shop tools & supplies (need list too)
Good lesson/advise. ill look at it in a few minutes BUT its copper plumbed down like 6 feet under the shop so id have to cut the line somewhere or BUY pipe and run a new one off the machine, the fans were disconnected? im hoping there isnt an over heating issue or a smokey fan motor.- New shop tools & supplies (need list too)
Like I said its not mine, not mine to fix, not mine to mod. I don't wanna get kicked out cause I cant follow simple requests/instructions. I know its eatin you up inside and trust me I asked about it but im told to wait for an electrician to come out....- New shop tools & supplies (need list too)
its on order but cash needs to flow a bit better before i spend more money. my old shop had 2 of them and life was amazing this air piston lift is okay but bad for tranny jobs- New shop tools & supplies (need list too)
GD- Way easier said then done, like i said my land lord sucks she said "we will get to it" as in "dont touch" ill see if i can sneak a splitter off the line for the pressure washer (its on a well too) to the heater. ill take pics you seem very interested. Mugs- i use the purple power on the floor and the degreaser on the vehicles with my little nifty electric pressure washer that also has a foam nozzle. As far as storage ill be building mine once the welder comes in. its an awesome design 'no opening drawers or scrambling for wrenches' Everything is on magnet strips.. youll love my design for the air tools and the moisture catch BROKE on me the glass cracked so ours is on order but i need air.. im also extending the petcock valve so i don't have to reach under the tank everyday. there is a regulator its brand new. I currently run a business out of here. but it doubles as a personal benefit since I run it.- New shop tools & supplies (need list too)
i tried! but its a radiator and the water supply line broke under the concrete so thats a no go... the landlord sucks. she tried to tell me i couldn't carry my pistol on the property, told me not to call the cops when theres suspicious car in my driveway at 2am... she wont pay for new shop light bulbs or any shop appliances.. she just plain sucks:rolleyes: That "candle" works fine for now I just don't wanna spend money on another heater:lol: My boss was talkin about buyin a waste oil heater its 300,000 btu- New Subi.... *Updated*

through out my 5 subarus and 3 2000watt+ stereo systems i know the symptoms of a bad regulator and yea if your over 14.7 or so your heating things up. my volt meter in the cluster would jump all they way up then level out randomly at first. i waited for money to come in to buy an upgrade then the vm needle would rise and fall with the rpms. my stereo 'deck' harness would get HOT and things would cut out like lights and speaker sound- Lets see your before and after photos
