My 420 is gaining pressure in the fuel tank. There is not heat associated with it, the tank is cool. I put a new vented cap on it and though it says made in China it is functioning no better than the USA made one I had on it. It steadily builds pressure. There is no incorporated vent system on the t...

Here is a video of my little crawler working:

I've had a few crawlers. I've never made any money. I enjoy operating a crawler, I enjoy tinkering on them, and mostly the sound of those two cylinders can't be beat. Take it logically. You have a parts crawler. Go buy one that's running, driving, and use yours for parts. If you had experience and k...

I had a similar situation. I did the following - not exactly sure which one fixed it. New Distributor Cap New Points / Condenser New Wires New Rotor New Coil New Resistor Fixed the problem completely - Based on what I was getting in feedback here I suspect the coil was the problem but It all needed ...

I was fortunate to buy the unit for $300 and he did all the welding.

All bids welcome

I'll post pictures after I get it done. I am going to try to make some gauge wheels for it as well. I have a pair of wheels on an old spring plow that may work. That way I can just run it in float.
