    8.3 cummins fuel stopper, sparky, thingy

    I have been tring to find a favorable way, to get a cummins fuel cutoff solenoid to work every time.

    Paint thick as molasses

    Was satisfied with raddle cans, but high build ones are not in stock no more. So dug around to find this lvlp gun, as about the only decent option as something to shoot thick paint. I got a pint of high build paint to try at a mix of 5:1, so the 1.7mm tip might do for that. I also found this...

    kubota d1105 looses prime running

    I am dealing with a kubota d1105 that is losing prime running and exhausted all paths I can think of past replacing the IP.

    I am at about 9k mile, so was thinking its time for a air filter. Looking up part number I find the 6.9 and 7.3 have a slight different filter, the 6.9 has foam and the 7.3 dose not. The wix part numbers are 46200 and 46255, is there a benifit to having the foam over not or is it a draw back?

    ground vs rust

    Im going to run my ground through the frame but unsure of what is best to keep it good. I do know need to clean off for ground points but what schmoo would be best to keep rust at bay on the bare spot of the frame for this task? Do I want to drill and tap the frame or would a through bolt suffice?
