Dear Dell,
I always look forward to your comments. They are filled with intelligence, experience, wit, humor, and patience (a rare assortment of ingredients). I hope people on this board appreciate the sharing of your knowledge. So many people want to keep their knowledge a secret or at best perhaps pass it on to a son. I wish you would write down your tips, hints, and mechanical experiences. I think it would be very publishable. Have you ever been licked or nearly licked by an 8N problem? Inquiring minds want to know. Keep up the good work!

Tom..... ..thanks for the kind words (blush)..... .Dell

Have I ever had a "bee-fuzzelment", yeah. Number of times.

Last one I remember concerned chasing down a no start weak sparkies problem with my professional grade digital voltmeter. Since my digital meter is auto-polarity, I don't pay attention to meter leads. I was reading about 5.5-volts at the distributor feedthru; little LOW but not alarming. Read the battery post volts; 6.2-volts; pretty normal. Walked around the tractor and I read the ignition switch volts = 6.8-volts. ....WTF???....

Somehow the meter leads got switched in my hands as I walked around the tractor and now I was reading MORE VOLTS than the battery is rated for. Checked at the battery posts, yep, now 6.8-volts; whereas previous battery post volts was 6.2-volts. When I re-crossed or un-crossed my leads, I now got 6.2-volts. ...WTF!!!...

Turns out, the 9-volt transistor battery inside my digital meter was only outputtin' about 7-volts. (I checked later) I needed a NEW METER BATTERY!!! It was only 8-yrs old, cheap batterys! Yes, my meter has a "low-BATT" annunciator that my weak-eyes miss-noticed in brite sunlite.

Ultimately, my no-start problem was BAD feed-thru insulator. New NYLON feedthru at local hardware store $50c, cheap..... ..Dell, the fallible

Dell, the above post about ye weak sparkies was not meant in any offensive way, only as amusement,please don't take offense to it. I enjoy and understand ye posts even though ye are like the rest of us, not alwaays right wif ye diagnosis, but quite often hit the nail on the head. Keep on keeping on!!!

Im a newbe to the board and Dell has done me good, I also have searched the archives and used a lot of tips etc that he has shared, saved me one heck of a lot of time and not having to make mistakes for myself. I can also say there are a lot of other people that have done the same on this board, thanks to you all.

I'm so sorry you have to look at Dells posts with the warped view you have. It is easy to read something in a post thats not there. Remove the sarcastic attitude you have and reread it. You'll have a better UNDERSTANDing. Bold letters don't nessecarily mean your yelling, but emphasizing a point. HTH

Use of upper case is considered in writing circles as shouting at the reader. The "UNDERSTAND!" reference is recieved as a put down by most people. It may not be meant that way, but that is how it is usually percieved. I am more used to Dell's writing style than I used to be, but most new readers would find that offensive, as I did. This is not an attack on Dell, just his writing style.

You are so correct Don, a lot of the sarcasm is in the reader not in the writer's intent. I agree 100%.
