No, you do not have to drain the fuel tanks. If you replace the fuel pump, however, you will need to simply clamp off the rubber fuel feed line to the pump.

Firstly, thank you for the mound of information you have provided. I am looking to purchase a mini truck and with your indepth analysis of the different units including traction, ease of service, parts availability and ergonomics, I have narrowed my choice to the Subaru Sambar and the Honda Acty in the 2WD model. In the 4WD model the Subaru Sambar is tops followed by the Suzuki Carry. These choises are inluenced by the amaount of snow we get here and the inclines we have on the property.

Your advice worked flawlessly. My wire feed motor wouldn't turn. I figured the motor or the gearbox likely went bad. I was about to give up on my old Lincoln 3200 welder I bought from Home Depot 15 years ago. This is the first and only problem I've ever had with this welder. I even started surfing the web looking for a replacement part. One crazy website had it listed for $250. That was certainly out of the question. So I checked KZbin and found your video and followed your advice. Remove the gearbox, open it up, clean up the gears put in some fresh new grease. I didn’t think it could be something this simple, but it was. It started working again like new. Thank you. Awsome! 😎👍

I drive a piaggio porter long base pickup. It’s an Italian built version of the hijet. It has a 2.1m bed and a 1.3l engine. I’ve had it up to 85mph on the motorway. Terrifying. I’ve had 3/4 of a tonne of wood chip on the back and it handled it with no trouble, although it wouldn’t do more than 30 mph on hills.

Totally disagree. I am not 6'4", so I don't care how much room such persons need. The simple fact is that the Honda is the best built, the best looking, and importantly the best equipped of the Kei trucks. Most of the other vehicles you will see are clapped out work trucks. Far more Hondas were used for carrying passengers, and had more options, and less mistreated. More of them have A/C. The parts support both through Honda, and the aftermarket is superior. Honda still services it's Kei trucks through the parts network. There are more Hondas out there. The mid engine, and Honda's full time AWD make it unstopable here in the Northeast. And, sorry to repeat, but the construction, engineering and materials of a Honda are better than it's competitors. Aftermarket? Unless you have a Honda, there is no aftermarket. While the Honda is not fast, none of them are. The half a Goldwing 3 cylinder will make power at high rpm, and frankly, you learn to work with it. A fullu upholstered interior and real A/C make it an easy choice. And BTW, the Honda van will easily take a six foot plus driver. The Honda is the other choice, and superchargers are out there- in vans, but I'll be darned if Subies aren't the ugliest of all the Kei vehicles- just like their road cars. Hey, everyone has an opinion, and I'm just pointing out that depending on your circumstances and priorities, the competition can come out quite differently. I've been driving an Acty Street G van with 5 speed, AWD and A/C for 5 years now, and I just love it. Bulletproof, at least once you get the carburetor sorted out. Hold out for fuel injection and power steering. With upgraded wheels and passenger car radials, the street behavior of the Honda is outstanding. Oh, and you didn't mention that when you share a cab with the engine, the smell and heat are your constant companion.

It says on WickedPedia that Sambars with automatic transmission built after October 1995 do no longer have the ECVT, but a regular 3-speed automatic instead. So for those that are lucky to not have the restriction of a JDM import being 25 years or older (just another benefit of being in Canada), or can find one that is built after they stopped using the ECVT in 1995....

When I hit the horn on my 1975 the horn relay pings but horn doesn't work.I replaced relay but same thing.any ideas?
@CollectorCarGuru3 ай бұрын
It's most likely your horn units themselves. (If the relay clicks, it's doing its job.) There should be two horns (low tone and high tone) mounted in the nose of the car. The power wire from the relay goes to the driver's side horn and then goes to the passenger-side horn. Connecting one lead of a test light to the power wire, the other to the frame and then pushing the horn button should illuminate the test light. Alternatively, you can run a wire from the positive side of the battery to the terminal on the horn -- ground should be via the body of the horn through the mounting bolt. Chances are the horns have both failed, but it's also possible 1)rust and grime are preventing a good ground 2)the wire to the horns broke 3) your car had its horns removed during a previous front-end collision. GM horns also sometimes start working again after being soaked with WD40 and hit with a hammer. (Some horns also have a knurled knob to change pressure on the horn speaker, so using a pair of pliers move it back and forth to a different position...but don't expect it to continue working long if it does come back to life.) A pair of horns can be purchased for about $15 on Amazon, so that's the route most people take.
@edwardtasi29053 ай бұрын
@CollectorCarGuru there is no power going to the drivers side horn? Bad ground perhaps or broken wire?
@CollectorCarGuru3 ай бұрын
@@edwardtasi2905 Should be easy to test. Clip one side of the circuit tester to the horn power wire and touch the other side to a known good ground (clean metal on the frame or engine...or even run a test lead wire to the negative side of the battery), then push the horn button. If it lights, it's bad ground. If it doesn't, the wire has no continuity. You'll need a second person to push the horn to see in real time or just prop your phone and video while you push it and play video back.) If the ground is good and the horn unit is good, then just look at a wiring diagram to trace the power wire from the relay to the horn so it can be replaced. By the way, there are many threads on this issue on CorvetteForum.com
@CollectorCarGuru3 ай бұрын
@@edwardtasi2905 Here is a good explanation: There should be a horn relay (or at least the connector for it) in a three-wire breakout to the left and almost above the fuse box--yes it's a pain to see The three wires leading to the horn relay are: Orange--power from the CTSY circuit. Black--ground coming from the steering column and contained in the "harmonica" connector whose other end is the turn signal switch. Dark Green--this is power to the horn. The Dark Green wire is energized (+12V) by the horn relay when the horn button is pressed. The horns are grounded to the chassis so there's only one wire feeding them. From the relay, the Dark Green wire routes back behind the fuse box to the big connector that goes through the firewall. After that it follows a large bundle of wiring heading forward and sort of tucked up under the left (driver) fender. It will break out in the front left of the car ahead of the radiator. The single wire simply chains via the connector on the first horn to the second horn. Testing the circuit is easy. Make certain you have +12V (constant) at the orange wire leading to the relay. Make certain that you get ground at the black wire leading to the relay when you press the horn button. If good so far, make sure you have +12V at the dark green wire with the relay installed and horn button pressed. If the relay is CLICKING, but you're not getting 12V at the relay where the green wire is attached, the relay is still actually bad or the harness it's plugged into has bad contact.

Ironically I bought this defender in this video it was a spontaneous purchase and I didn’t even know what I was buying. And then I was doing my research and I noticed that all the stickers on the defender are the stickers that are on the defender I purchased. Now I’m trying to figure out how to sell it because I purchased it for my 16 year-old daughter who doesn’t want it, but I know it’s special, any advice would be great
