Not So Pro 3

[maulhead]

I love those, last one I got a case of the 1607's for my 24v and some fuel filters as well. The fuel filters went to my neighbor as I was advised to run an Airdog and bypass the oe filters and f/p, but still good prices. Better than employee pricing too, especially if you get the MP versions.

If you never seen the difference, between stock 6mm lines, and 1/2" airdog, or fass lines, this pic shows it well.

Stock 2 gen 24v lines are very restrictive, and even worse / more necked down, at the fittings for the fuel filter canister and lift pump, they just starve a VP44.



20 years ago I bought a low mile, one owner, 2001 3500 CTD on eBay, down near DFW, asked the seller before I flew down to get it, if he minded if I worked on the truck for few hours, before I took off back to CO, he said that was fine with him. So I had a Airdog kit shipped to his house, and I FedEx'd some tools down there, needed for the install. I was having flash backs to the late 1990's, and the VP44 dying on the the side of the road on the trip back, from fuel starvation. I went right from the Airdog to the VP44 with that fat boy 1/2" line, bypassed the lift pump, and stock filter housing an all that BS.

Guy I bought the truck from just stood around and watched me work, once I was done with the install, and fired it up, he was like damn son what the hell did ya do to the truck, it sounds like a whole new animal. I explained it to him, and took him for a rip around the block, he said that truck never ran that good since new. Those 2nd gen 24v were very fuel starved right from the factory. They benefit from a healthy flow of fuel, what they don't drink bypasses back to the tank.

Good morning shirt lifters.

So in other words, inflation has revolutionized your guys ! Even with chainsaw parts…

Yep. The price of cylinder kits has more than doubled in most cases. Most other parts have doubled as well. For the 5 series I think you can buy a short block for less than you can mess around rebuilding one but they’re definitely not cheap.

Not really big plans for today, hopefully a few hours cleaning up chainsaw parts.
Also need to mix nic into the vape juice.

With us you get a 550 xpg mkII (when they run offers) for the same as what you pay for a 346 crank and crankcase.

I think Husqvarna has stopped ordering new parts batches, and that the stock of existing parts is so low that now they are running at maximum profit.
