What is the weight of a Lincoln SA200

wrote: A little update. I was able to unload this SA-200 from my truck, which was not exactly trivial. It now sits on a cart and I can move it around, though it is not that easy. One helluva cart, I imagine. Anyhow, I see several issues. 1) For one reason or another, fuel is not coming out of the fuel tank and down through the bowl. The bown is held by a springy support, which I removed, and the bowl dows not seem to want to come off. It is probably lacquer-glued to the cork gasket. Got a tiny rubber mallet or rubberized hammer handle? Give it a little sideways whack, making sure to support whatever metal it's glued to. 2) I took off an electric fuel valve or pump near the bowl and I will look at it carefully tomorrow. Are you going to remove the tank and flush it, or has it never been allowed to lacquer up? My old SA-300 that I sold had a replacement stainless tank which had been sitting so long, it needed flushing. But since the engine was frozen solid, I decided to let a future owner handle it. 3) The battery is dead. Typical. 4) The fuel line is rotted, fell apatr when I pulled it. I took a part of it and, through it, poured some gasoline into the carb. I usually just pour half an ounce down the carb throat to see if it'll start. 5) With fuel added directly to the carb, the welder does start, at least for a couple of seconds. I did not want to annoy my neighbors at midnight, so I shut it off. Woke 'em up and quickly sneaked inside, eh? BTDT. I will mess with it somewhat more tomorrow. Probbaly a trip to Napa is in order. Wow, long trip! Say "Hi!" to my mom if you pass through Vallejo, will you? http://goo.gl/afpse (using the new Google URL shortener) Oh, you meant NAPA, didn't you? They probably have an auto parts store near you. /groan -- Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. -- Epictetus |
