Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
Mike, if push comes to shove go buy a cheap hose and screw it onto the
drain connector on your hot water heater in the house. Open the
drain, flush with warm hands, then find someplace to hide when the
wife figures out you used ALL the hot water.
Sounds like the CJ is letting you know how it feels about being
ignored. And you can always remind yourself about Stop-Leak: I KNEW
better than that!

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
LOL!
I did know better that's for sure, but crap man I didn't want to have to
try and remove the rad for a solder job at -25C just before going on a
trip. I only have one arm that works these days so working on crap is a
real pain in the butt among other places....
Oh and my wife hasn't noticed the emery board I used to polish up the
carb float needle yet so if I am careful/lucky I might get away with the
hot water trip too. ;-)

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
LOL!
I did know better that's for sure, but crap man I didn't want to have to
try and remove the rad for a solder job at -25C just before going on a
trip. I only have one arm that works these days so working on crap is a
real pain in the butt among other places....
Oh and my wife hasn't noticed the emery board I used to polish up the
carb float needle yet so if I am careful/lucky I might get away with the
hot water trip too. ;-)

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
I'm lazy, so when I'm on the farm or out at the cabin and need to get
something running, I tend to spray the carb bowls full of carb cleaner
as soon as I get there. Let them set for an hour or so (coupla beers)
then have at them. I found a cheap cleaner that is also a pretty fair
substitute for starting fluid which also helps.
Ever notice that the heater quits at 10 below, the windshield wipers
work until it rains, and the darned thing absolutely knows when you
left the spare tire home?
Any prognosis on the arm?

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
I'm lazy, so when I'm on the farm or out at the cabin and need to get
something running, I tend to spray the carb bowls full of carb cleaner
as soon as I get there. Let them set for an hour or so (coupla beers)
then have at them. I found a cheap cleaner that is also a pretty fair
substitute for starting fluid which also helps.
Ever notice that the heater quits at 10 below, the windshield wipers
work until it rains, and the darned thing absolutely knows when you
left the spare tire home?
Any prognosis on the arm?

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
The CJ has been my daily driver, I just haven't driven very much
lately. I am just going to try and give it some TLC and talk to it
nice...
My arm/shoulder seems screwed unfortunately. I have tendonosis in the
supraspinatus tendon with some other muscle damage and nerve root damage
from 3 compressed vertabra/disk sets that turns the muscles to bad knots
if I put any stress on them or move my head the wrong way. Even the
insurance company's doctor is saying I will never likely use it properly
again. Ah well, in for a different set of physio doctors now so I will
see what they can do.

My arm/shoulder seems screwed unfortunately. I have tendonosis in the
supraspinatus tendon with some other muscle damage and nerve root damage
from 3 compressed vertabra/disk sets that turns the muscles to bad knots
if I put any stress on them or move my head the wrong way. Even the
insurance company's doctor is saying I will never likely use it properly
again. Ah well, in for a different set of physio doctors now so I will
see what they can do.

lately. I am just going to try and give it some TLC and talk to it
nice...
