Good luck on the spark plug heat shields. I was the guy that sent him some really nice original shields to make the stainless one from. He told me that he would give me a set of the new ones. We had numerous pm back in the day about it, long story and to make it short. He never followed though...

SY2455 is up and running again after 8 years. It took 8 years to bring the Syclone back to Ohio and after changing out the fuel pump and flushing the system. With everything prelude I put the key in and turned it. Within 3 seconds the truck started, sounding alittle rough at 1st the truck soon...

Thanks Dave, when I get back I'll place my order.

Thanks Dave, How have you been?

The previous pump was a Walbro and ran for 18 years until the ethanol wore the pump and sending unit out. If I can find 1, I'll stick it.

Dave is 100% correct here, FG06A is the part number for a Spectra. I'm in the middle of changing mine out. O'Reilly Auto Parts has it in stock or same day if ordered. Now I need to find the Walbro fuel pump to put it together.

If your system is full. Take the intercooler cap off and you should see the intercooler coolant moving pretty fast. Check with the engine cold as it may overflow. If you cannot see the coolant moving and you are sure that the pump is chewing on air bubbles. Make sure that the hose clamps are...

Are these gone from the new site? Can't seem to find them.

You need to bypass the intercooler pump so it will run all the time with the key on. With all lines connected remove the intercooler cap and fill until all bubbles are gone. It should take about 20 minutes to complete.

Yep, it's been a long time. Finally checking in after retrieving SY2455 from Commieforia. Now working on her to get her running again. Bad fuel pump. Ethanol gas is really nasty on the pump and fuel tank sending unit.

Hey Guys, Thought that I would drop in to see how thing were going. Nice to see the new setup looks great. Any old timers still around?

Drop in for a visit and boy has this place change a lot. What happen here?

Re: Back in the Typhoon Game. I was a SoCal Native too. Best thing I did when I retire was move from there. Hell, I even went in the service to get out, only to get station up in northern Calif. Dave, you could work here if you wanted too (Lake Erie has a lot of boats and ships on it). It only...

Re: Back in the Typhoon Game. Dave as part of the testing, did they pressure test the fuel system and gas cap? That is the 1 test that will fail U and not show it on the paper. (Or when I lived there it didn't show). I have never miss Cali since I left, although I miss some of my Sy/Ty friends...
