A shameless butting in:

I have a good deal here. I take twelve cleaned up empty bottles to a home brewer, and come back home with 6 full ones. I am partaking in my favorite, his porter. He sent me home with two of each, amber ale, porter, and stout.

I'm going to suggest he name his beer, "Old Riggin' Pants." :smile2:

OK another u-turn. I'd almost drive to Randle for some of that. I'm just about to open a bottle of Alaskan Brewing Smoked Porter. Not something I'd drink all night, but a glass or two is really good!
 
M-I-C-K-E-Y S-T-I-H-L

And now the Mousketeer's song will be running through his head every time he picks up that saw.

"Who's the leader of the crew that cuts both Larch and Pon-dee, file there, fill there, fall there, you're as 2-stroke as can be"
 
OK, I'ma bump thissen in yet another direction, scored a nice max-flo kit for my 460 but the instructions don't exactly say what the 2 supplemental plates are for (pictured) and do I need to trim the intake plate flanges on my 460 (pictured)

Also, the (what I thought to be)standard HD filter on my 660 has some blue foamy #### inside but the one on my 460 didn't, what the crap?

the plate with the stepped side goes up under the one you have in the filter as a top plate, the step fits nicely into the one you have in there. I assume you're going to put some foam filter oil on that filter first. Do this before you install those 2 plastic pieces.

the third piece would go on the outside top of the filter if you weren't going to use the full filter cover.

I run max flows and really like them. enjoy.

maybe your fuel leak is from where the fuel line exits the tank?

Thanks sir, will K&N filter oil do the job, I know K&n's are made of a much different material but I have quite a bit of it on hand and was curious, tracked down the fuel leak, it was from a little bit lower on the tank so I scuffed it up with sandpaper, hit it with carb cleaner, and JB'ed that mother

Nope, the K&N stuff is different, way too sticky/coating for foam.

I cheap out and use Western Family Canola Oil spray. The key to oiling a foam filter is a good spraying, then squeeze it all in good with your hands, then squeeze the filter with paper towels to mop up all the excess.

You want a filter coated good throughout, but not dripping in oil.

Meh, that's what I get for a fast post. . . Spelling errors. LOL

To clean it, use mineral spirits, followed by a good soak/wash with dishsoap -- anything hotter can hurt the foam.

Hang dry it before reoiling.
 
In actuality, being just rapeseed oil. . . You could probably just do the dish-soap and skip the mineral spirits.

I use spirits all the time, just because I have it here.

Damn man, you're on a roll (I'll leave my Max-Flow's purity intact)

but in all seriousness, thankee much Mr.
finally got the tank leak fixed, now I need me a new fuel cap that don't leak like a seive
 
Yeah Jake. What Nate said. I use bel-ray filter oil and apply it with an old toothbrush...it doesn't take much to get the filter coated up. A quart bottle lasts a couple years. Of course, and Sam can back me up on this, I'm not known for being too anal about maintenence.

Bel - Ray is the ####. Been using the Klotz, that's what the shop starting ordering in....it sucks.

And Rodeo is a slack-ass:pumpkin2: - I'll back him up on that - Sam
 
Jake - you should put the chain on backwards just to make it a fair fight.

Sam - Laugh now...I'm heading your way in the next few days...and I'll be sleeping on your couch (or floor). And I know where you keep your whiskey...

No no, not so fast. I already drank the rest of it. Let me know when you're thinking, I won't be home much.
