Yes, it's about moving that 40# from the nose, to the right side of the trunk.

I forgot to add the link to the maxi fuse. But you got the point. I didn't think it affected it. If it did, the different amperage ratings would have to be listed, in addition to the different voltages. However, I am farrrrrrr from being an electrician. No, it's not for the starter. It...

This question is in relation to protecting a circuit in a battery-in-trunk installation. The cable involved is 6 gauge, and I want to use a 60 amp breaker. I'm looking at this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RX5QN4P/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It's rated 12-48 volts. I'm using 12, of course...

It has cycled several times and has worked every time! On Wednesday, I checked connections and looked at the pilot. The connections seemed okay and the pilot looked as it has for years. The repair isn't as clear cut as I'd like it to be, but I'll cover what I did. Yesterday, I removed the...

I wouldn't open one either, too much at risk.

I may have it fixed. Gonna give it a day or two to go through some cycles. Stand by...

Will do. Thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions. Especially gungatim. The pilot light looks as it always has in the several years I've had the heater. I checked connections and bypassed the stat. It still needs a tap to ignite. Maybe a thermocouple is worth a shot? The exact replacement is a Mr. Heater...

Problem is; it costs $300 and up. I can get a new heater for $300.

Checking connections tomorrow. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. If I'm reading that chart right, I need a VS820A1088. It's about $300. So's a new heater.

I have a Model No. MH25NG Item No. F272200 Mr. Heater in my garage. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006L7UZ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I installed it about 10 or 12 years ago, and it's been fine until the last couple of years. The gas valve needs a tap on the side for it to operate. This link says...

I sat in the chair and watched tv. Recent rotator cuff surgery has prevented anything else. Frustrating.

I drive mine ('87 LX Hatch) and leave it in the sun for a while after I wash it. I'm thinking that otherwise, the water sits in all the wrong places and rots things out.

i used to own a small twin rancher in Phila that had the garage under the front. One night, while I was falling asleep, the spring broke on my door. Scared the hell out of me and took me a while to figure out what was going on!
