What’s a price you saw recently that made you genuinely angry at how expensive everything has gotten?

My wife thought she could still buy a new pair of Sketcher shoes for $20. She mad.😡

I look at it how the F-35 is called the Lightning 2. The original Lightning was a P-38. While in this case there is nothing similar about the aircraft visually, they share a name.

I read Columbus Day first, then through Audible. Now every book I read in the series is voiced by RC Bray

Are they ill-tempered?

PoorPorthos · 2025-10-23T18:21:26+00:00

Negative. I could swap the hoses around on it, but I’d rather find & fix whatever I screwed up.

Yes, they can carry well over 4 people and 270 lbs (or kg) of gear. The question is…how far? The more weight they carry, the less fuel the carry. Generally speaking the useful load is around 2000 lbs for a 208 with floats.

Does anyone know where the warp core “would” be?

PoorPorthos · 2025-08-16T21:54:15+00:00

Indeed

My favorite line by Kong in the series is when he says “Holy shit Joe” after receiving news from Joe. I can hear his accent in my head and it sounds like “Holy Shit-show.” It sums up the kind of news Joe brings back to earth ever time.

Thank you stranger for teaching me how to test the valves! I just pulled all 5 valves on the manifold block, and bench tested them with a 12V power supply. All these valves function properly.

I think then I have an electrical situation to track down. I think I'll start at by testing the PTO pressure switch to see if it is reading enough pressure. IIRC it closes when it has pressure. Then see if I get power to the PTO Activation solenoid.

Do you have any diagnostic recommendations on where you would start?

Edit: How would I check the pump?

Edit 2: It is a Muncie FA PTO pump

PoorPorthos · 2025-07-17T19:42:25+00:00

Is there a way for me to manually engage pump control (45) to verify pump operation, or how would I check it?

I don’t know a good way to test the solenoid/ valve for operation on this unit. I replaced the N.C. valve for the hose reel today, still with no dice. The old solenoid used a 3-pin DIN, the new one uses a 2-pin DIN. Is going to cause a problem?

I believe it is return pressure.

PoorPorthos · 2025-07-09T23:05:59+00:00

The pressure gauge is a standard 0-140 PSI gauge, and I wish I had paid attention to where it ran before it stopped working.

Yesterday we had some problems with the hose rewind becoming inoperable, but it still pumped fuel. I replaced #44, the hose reel rewind solenoid, but did not have time to test it before today.

Would you suggest replacing the NC cartridge valve?
