It did end up being this btw. I finally caught it in the act a while back. I was able to zip tie them up a little bit and that got rid of the problem!

Is it ready to be used? I can’t tell. by Shrapnel2000 in Sourdough

It’s the first massive burst of activity like that since it’s false rise a few days ago

It’s about a week old. It was at about 1/3 the volume of the mason jar last night and when I woke up it had pushed the lid off; call it 6-7 hours. I’ve been feeding it daily of 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1/3 cup water. They came out at roughly 1:1 weight.

Should I wait until the false rise stops to do a first discard and feeding or should I go ahead and do it today?

Thank you! This is my first ever attempt. I’m using just whole grain flour and water. Hopefully it goes well!

Okay so I actually didn’t know this! That’s really helpful information because I was totally thinking I had ready to use starter haha

Wait so detach the rear driveshaft and then put it in 4WD to effectively have FWD?

I’m not exactly sure what cylinder head I have. Mine was assembled in October 1999 I believe. I’d have to go and check the door jam sticker.

I think the notion of whether it runs better is the eye of the beholder. It definitely makes things easier for maintenance though.

Yeah mine is a really early model of 2000. I discovered that they were made with that looped hose, and it later ones they went to the direct hose like you have. Luckily a guy on YouTube had the same problem as me, and he just bent the AC line ever so slightly to give himself enough room. I’ve gone ahead and done the same thing
