*SIGH*

The relay is dead center of the dash and it's trigger is the side plug on the oil pressure switch.

More likely the choke shaft seized where it comes from the heat coil to the linkage...

Mike

Well this is getting off topic - but I had the relay tested and it's bad. The actual choke mechanism moves freely. The wire on my choke somehow came off the connector and fell straight onto the engine block, effectively shorting out my electrical system and blowing three fusible links. If that won't toast a relay... I'd like to see the current that does.

Isn't that what husbands are for? (menial labor)

Kate, If it adds to your feeling better, I have been working outside all week and will be for another two weeks. My 'ol combat boots are no longer waterproof and my feet were soaked all day today!

Carl

Police State, Gun Control, Traffic Jams, Smog, High Taxes, Spanish as the official State language, 9th circuit court saying god doesn't exist?

You are very lucky it only blew the fuse links. I have seen some total harness meltdowns from that and have rewired engine bays and under dash circuits from it.

At least it is just a stock bosch relay you need, they are cheap. It is center of the 'firewall' I meant to say also.

I tossed mine and went with a manual choke. That stupid timer choke was useless up here in Canada. It went off according to how long it has seen power with no input from how warmed up the engine really is and I got tired of '3' foot driving when cold. You know, heel toe on the gas and brake and clutch with the other.

Mike

Spanish? And what the f!@# is the '9th circuit court'? Never heard of that.

The smog is pretty bad though, we get all the bad stuff like acid rain blowing up from the USA industrial belt. We even have to salt the lakes with lime to try and keep fish alive in them.

Heading off into the snow today maybe, so forget the rain for the next 6 months.

Mike

If we all believe the 9th Circuit Court doesn't exist will it go away?

Mike the court is the one you hear about on the news all the time that releases all the rulings that make absolutely no sense unless you are a communist or otherwise a hard core enemy of the "American way of life.'

This court easily holds the records for it decisions being reversed in US history.

These judges, which are appointed for life, have long held radical viewpoints. By some opinions 67% of the 28 judges have direct ties to extremist groups and many of the others vacillate

Our news doesn't bother with other country's local politics much so haven't really heard of or paid much attention to that particular foreign court system.

No time to check the link right now, but do they come in 15 wide? It's pretty hard to find boots in my size, that's why I'm still wearing my old military boots. The soles are practically gone!

Carl

If Texas and California would just secede, the rest of the country would be so happy....

I'm telling him you said that!

"HONEY!!!!! Billy Ray Said ........!!!!!"

Frigging union guy, he is't going to buy that crap. He'll tell me to call the laborer's hall and have them dispatch me a peddler - or would that be a Teamster?

Kate

Dang kid, what are you doing?

Boy oh boy, I bet when you put your foot in your mouth, you are really in a pickle *WEG*

If you haven't ruined the bottoms yet, a really good shoe repair shop should be able to set you up with some fairly sticky treaded soles for them. Or you could see what Sheplers mail order has available.

Siding and exterior trim.

Damn, that's tough this time of year.
