Good deal Thomas! Hope you get it fixed up!

 

Well as per my other thread I got the new fpr in and I thought all was well. Apparently not. I'm still leaking it looks like at the bottom of the regulator where that snap ring goes. Any chance I screwed somthing up reassembling it? Also is that hose that goes through there is the lip on that suppose to be inside the housing? If it is then that's pry my problem as it's outside right now. I tried pushing it back in but the motor was way too hot. If that tube isn't the problem looks like this might be a paid experience and I'll have to get another kit. Truck is gonna sit till I get this sorted out. Don't like the thought of my hard earned money dropping on the ground.

 

Bump bump.

 

Im no help to ya man. I didnt mess with the bowl at ALL when it was taken out. Took it out. Put it in. lol

 

Did you use yyour screen holder?
O ring jim pretty sure goes on the piece the snapring holds in then assemble.lube the line where it goes up in the reg from the bottom.

 

Upon further inspection it's looking like it's actually leaking around where that snap ring is. And not where the line goes in. Looks like it's coming back out.

 

Well crap.sorry bud.ull get it.

 

Yeah I should have gotten a new snap ring, the one that I put on was questionable. Hopefully the orings are still good. This is a good learning experience. Plus it gives me an excuse to drive the Lincoln. So smooth and quiet. Lol

We will get it. I'll keep you all posted.

 

FOUND IT!!!

The oring in the bottom was torn when I took it back apart. I feel so stupid!

I guess I like spending money...Going to have to order a new kit.

Its ok, I said this aleady, this is a good experience. Its also why you OIL new ORINGS.

Anyone reading this, don't make my mistake!! Just glad it was nothing more.

Another question while I'm at it, if anyone saw my other thread where I have pictures of the old regulator, does anyone think that it could be fixed? If so what method would you use?

END RANT. Thanks for listening. Hope everyones Monday is going great.

Actually I'm having an awesome day today, seriously, all this aside. I'm just thankful I have somthing else to drive while all this is going on.

Thank you all again for all the help. You guys are great!

 

Na..its junk.just save the guts..

 

Yeah I'll pry just do that. It's too bad since there isn't anything else wrong with it. If they Wernt so darn expensive new it would be different. Oh well.

New kit is ordered. Should be here in a couple days. Till then driving the hot rod Lincoln. Actually it's one of the most gutless cars I've driven. But it rides and drives so nice!

Glad ya got it bud!

 

haha thats my jam right there Alex! Love that song.

 

Got the second set of orings. Oiled them all up put them in and we are up and running! Drove the truck tonight and she ran out good like always. Going to keep am eye out make sure there are no more leaks. I actually felt that brass part seat this time, I didn't before cause I didn't use any oil. Lesson learned. Should be good to go for a while. Thanks again everyone for all the help and encouragement along the way!
