Oh no there buddy, that gig is all yours, I'm just picking. Well got my glock 19 (9MM) instead of the 45 .....but 3 clips of hydra shock rounds

Full auto capable M-4 with 5 30 rd clips of tracer and flight gear tomorrow, will end up getting duel qualified on the UH-1 Huey also (remember them RC?)

Yes, buzzing and sparks is no good out of the starter solenoid. I would tell you to make sure the connections are really clean. If they are, just pick up a new solenoid. It's about $25-$30.

Remember, at 600 CCA to turn these engines over. A Kia battery won't do it at all.
Neither will an Eclipse battery, I have new cables, solenoid, starter and my old battery to prove that one. Somebody nabbed my battery (850CCA)for his Eclipse with the boomin stereo and put his lower CCA(500CCA) same case size battery in MS Dent. Now she cranks over like she should. I discovered the battery swap after replacing all the other compnents in the system.

Afternoon, all!

I'm trying to take it easy. My arm feels like it's break in half and fall off at my elbow. I threw a crank sensor on for a customer this morning and I just got Lee's rear brakes done. I'm gonna see how I feel a little later and see if I can get the front fuel tank in today.

Well, I gave it a shot. I got the old tank down. I siphoned all the gas out of it. Then I got the new tank out to swap everything over. .......whoops.

I didn't realize they were still flying those over there in the sandbox. I think the last one I remember seeing airborne was 10 years ago...and it was an Air Nation Guard bird. My dad was a Huei crew chief during the Vietnam era for the Army. I know he was in Germany for a while, but don't think he got that all expenses paid vacation to the tourist trap of Asia.

I know the U.S. sold a bunch of UH 1H Iroquois to the Iraqis a while back. I used to see them every once in a while over the FOB. It confused me until someone explained it to me.
