Thank you! And no for me it was not. But I have small hands.

Awesome! I’m glad it worked out for you!

Very happy to help! Let me know if you have questions along the way.

Yeah and or clogged fuel lines, bad gas mileage, poor performance… it all depends on what you have time for 🤷‍♀️ in my case this was easier.

That’s really good to know. I just toggled the heat switch while I was doing it. Just to be sure.

Very welcome! Glad it helped!

I know lol. That’s why I just cleaned mine. 😂 good luck with your project! Send updates! You can get a good deal on a used tank at treasure coast miata if you need one. Those guys are great

@@MessyBunGarage Treasure Coast doesn't have a tank, neither does Redline. I'm in Orlando so I could have driven over to pick it up. Found a good used one on eBay for $400, it'll be here sometime between Friday & Tuesday. That will give me plenty of time to get the old one out. I also needed the fuel pump assembly because mine is FUBAR and this came with one. Yes, I've gotten plenty of stuff from Treasure coast, always good to deal with.

@@peteporpora1630 dang they didn’t have one? They had like 4 or 5 when I made this vid. They are like 30 min from me. So I see them a lot. Glad you found one!

Yes it completely resolved it

@@MessyBunGarage that's awesome. Thanks for the response. My truck doesn't overheat , but it runs hotter than normal and I noticed I don't get heat, so I'll start here 👍

@@user-yf6ty5ot8y yeah great starting place. It’s easy. And you’ll be surprised what comes out of there lol.

@@user-yf6ty5ot8y did you figure out what is causing your no heat issues?

@@joshhayler9342 yes! It was totally clogged. I can't say I use the heater often in AZ, but after back flushing and burping the system really well, it was better. I took it up north on several steep grades and the dash needle never moved. I monitor my temps with the Android Torque Pro app and it does warm up on the steep climbs but was never alarming or out of the ordinary. Around town, it stays at 194 to 195. 👍

Thanks very much!

It’s hard for me to compare them. Because I didn’t ever drive it with a good brake booster. I’d say it was a bit stiff. But actually felt like it was there, which is what I wanted lol

Just the way we like it lol

Indeed. Florida.

What kind of paint did you use? Thinking of just buying new arms to save from the hassle from painting

Hello! And thanks for commenting. Yes it’s very likely that you need a new fuel filter. I would also check the fuel pump after you do the filter. Start easy and then go to the more difficult. Pull the filter first. Let me know how it goes! Cheers!

@@MessyBunGarage hello! It started today. I hade a charger to batteri the na mx5 is need a good batteri i read so now its running. I put in a new pump in friday så thats new. So i Will see now how it runs. Thanks u. Nice u repli too me..Håkan ..

@@MessyBunGarage but im going to change petrolfilter this summer soon. See u

@@hakanbergman8265 glad to hear it’s running! Enjoy driving your mx-5!

I rebuilt my lifters and it purrs now. I have a video coming out soon on how to do it. But it’s very easy

kzbin.infoEg5Kw1ZZqu4?feature=share the link to the video post lifter rebuild.

Glad to hear you liked the video! On occasion we all have blonde moments 😂 I own it, that way no one can use it against me. Cheers!

Thanks for the comment. Happy to help! Let me know how the project goes!

Haha yep, or you can just disconnect both. Which is what I usually do.

Mine was really corroded like my whole tank was. I have another video showing what my tank looked like. It was gnarly. Totally not necessary for everyone.

I just got mine off eBay motors

Thank you 🙏

I don’t actually. I just siphoned mine out. I know a lot of other people just use the fuel pump to push it out through the engine bay. If I had to guess, I’d say they don’t have the plug. Hope this helps!

@@MessyBunGarage Yes thanks. I guess I'll also siphon, because I don't want to push that old gas and sediments through the new pump after I replace my current broken one.

@@sef2202 I did it for the same reason. Let me know how it turns out!

@@MessyBunGarage will do, thanks

Hey Jill from where did you get the fuel sending unit and how much did it cost? The replacement pumps sold by autozone and other stores are not exact matches, I bought 2 but they are not fitting correctly even though these stores advertised them as exact fits. Thanks for your reply.

Haha when you’re bored at work you’re bored at work

My pleasure. Hope it helped!

I could actually reach my whole arm into the tank. Can’t speak to every one’s ability to reach it all. But I did remove the fuel sending unit on the top of the parcel shelf.

Cheers! Thanks it’s a hf special but I like it! Yeah it’s the ole boop haha

@@MessyBunGarage I just found that ratchet on their website, thanks for telling me where you got it.

@@terebrate for sure! Enjoy it! They make a 1/4” too!

Just happened to have one at my local o’reillys. They will give you a new one and then a credit for the core of the old one you bring back in. Like a battery.

Haha yep sure did. Good catch!

Thank you! It actually wasn’t making any noise. Just periodically the pedal would go firm. And you’d have to absolutely smash the pedal to stop. Hope this helps!

Cheers! Yeah it’s often overlooked. But makes such a difference!

@@MessyBunGarage thanks I plan rebuilding my NA shifter soon

@@grandtheftauto1233 oh yeah it’s gonna change your world. 🙏

Thank you 🙏. Thanks for watching! I hope it helped!

ya love to see it
