You can run blocks (2x2's or 45's) on all the inside corners and screw the box together from the inside, should be good with enough glue. this was my other idea.

I pre drilled ALL holes and assembled the box outside the car first. I took special care to make each corner overlaped a way I could still get to the screws. ie not up from the bottom, etc. I used a right angle drill with torques/star headed screws so I didn't have to hold pressure on the drill head.

So true! I've never been to either, how do they compare to Lake Powell?

No its not the local parts store. It should be a place that rebuilds starters and alternators. As suggested above, call around. Try Iraggi, Excessive Amperage, Ohio Generators. IIRC there was even a company I thought was out of goergia.

There is no bowl on this mower. 9 times out of 10 if the carb has a primer bulb it is a direct feed carb with no storage device like a fuel bowl, otherwise it wouldn't need a primer bulb as fuel is already in the carburetor . And to the OP, sounds like the diaphragm is screwed. Just get a kit for it and be done with it. The mower doesn't matter, what matters is the carburetor. The Scotts with the 5.6 hp briggs may have 2 or 3 different carbs. Some may be CA emissions, and some federal, etc. well results from tonight carb is off and still off... went to work on it and there is a fuel bowl, the float was stuck shut, because of the old gas that was left in the bowl when the mower was put up. Carb Number: 214661 T (B&S) found a 214700 diagram that is pretty damn close to this one. http://www.ereplacem...7347_17375.html Looking at page D, part number 106 Which is a rubber bushing of some sort, called a seat-inlet from the diagram. This part was stuck and dry rotted, i proceeded to pull out the little pieces of rubber that were left. So tomorrow I plan to run to the autoparts store and see what they got. You could try calling a small engine repair shop and see if they have the right kit/parts.

My pack is supposed to weigh around 35 pounds total I think that may exceed it. If it's any consolation we will be driving to the place in a ford excursion (7.3L diesel of course) with a sweet custom roof rack. You will want an internal frame back pack and sleeping bag for starters. Do you need to bring your own personal tent or cooking gear? My pack weights about 6 lbs empty and my tent weights 7lb. my personal stove weights about a pound, and my mummy bag weight about a pound and a half. With food and supplys I have started out with 65lbs total before for a week journey.

The Post Office just called and said my Aura is there, to bad its probably the wrong size.

Good info Jacob.

A good SQ guy can make almost anything sound good, SO it sounds like the a$$holes you where talking to had no clue and just think that the most expensive epuipment will sound best. Pay no attention to people like this, thier opinions don't mean shiiiiiit.

Depends on a few things really. Does the priming bubble seem slow to recover? That is, does it stay collapsed? On the carburetor, does it have 2 fuel lines coming into it? What brand? On the carburetor, does it have a bowl or are the lines a direct feed into the side of a small square shaped carb? A few things come to mind. If it does not have a bowl, I see a lot of the pump diaphragms go bad, and a carburetor rebuild is on the menu. These carbs are really simple, just a few parts really. Just get a sharp razor blade, a can of carb cleaner, and the carb kit from your local NAPA. Keep the gaskets you take off the carb in order, as you will see several gaskets in the kit that you won't use, and each has some very slight differences. Really the only thing that I see go bad on these (unless you leave it sit and the gas goes sweet) is that diaphragm, and replacing it should be all you have to do. The diaphragm will be under a plate that has a round bulge on it. But I like to clean all the passages with the carb cleaner real good. Second, if it has 2 fuel lines I see those stupid lines break inside the tank all the time. While the single line that feeds the bulb may be good and it will prime, the one that feeds the pump diaghram will be busted and you will see a lot of air bubbles in it, or it will be void of fuel altogether. Third, if the bulb has a hard time recovering you either have a collapsed of clogged fuel line, or a clogged carburetor port that is creating a vacuum on the line prohibiting fuel feed. I use Nationwide for all my homeowners, automotive, and landlord insurance. Generally you get discounts if you choose to carry multiple policies with the same company. It is worth asking your agent about. The lawnmower is a: Scotts 6.5HP(briggs and Straton) I/C Intek Edge OHV Mod:22966X8A first thing that happened the prime bubble started running fuel out the little relief hole when i first filled it up. So i raised the front of the lawnmower up for awhile. Then i came back to mess with it and the bulb no longer leaked. So i proceeded to start the mower. Thus it rain for about ~3 seconds on primed fuel. I was going to tear into it tonight but i work a lil over 12 hours today and it was dark outside already and i ran to wally world to get some carb cleaner and other essentials. The carb does have a bowl underneath it. i believe it only has one fuel line. The plan is to tear into it tomorrow and see whats going on. 9 times out of 10 it just the shit that settles in the bowl starts to clog the pick-up. Second would be that old gas turned to varnish and is gumming everything up. Always start with the simple stuff first. I have all my vehicles and homeowners insurance through Farmers. The more things I insure, the better the deal.

I thought the exacct same thing. It's just some guy has an ostrich skin wrapped box and I guess he can't spell wrapped and put Ostrich raped box. LMMFAO!! FAIL!!!

The box came out lookin' killer!!! Looks hella solid, I like the flush mount!! BTW Sweet NOVA!!!

"Dear Sir, Your order 100719110540 left Monday July 19th via expedited parcel post. However, we may have sent you the wrong unit as we only had one 10” and one 12” before we sent your order and we now have one 10” and no 12” driver. Therefore when you receive your order, can you let us what model you actually received so we can take the appropriate action. Thank you for your cooperation, Regards, " So I ordered another Aura 10" driver, and then I got this email a few days later. Lovely, concidering that shit is coming from Canada and takes for fucking ever to get here. Not to mention how hard its going to be to give them the 12" back, I know I am just going to want to keep it.

I Love my SSA.

About time there was some progress on this. Keep the pitcures comin'.

I vote its probably just shit in the float bowl, So just start by cleaning that bish and go from there.

ME likey the blue!!!!

Seeing the car outside the garage sure makes it all worth the work. looks like your on the homeward stretch with the paint anyways.

Or you could just buy longer battery cables, since it sounds like you atleast know how to hook them up. This way would look the cleanest, and have the least amount of chance for problems down the road.

If you need rims too thats a deal. Are those the rock star rims?

Ya it really jumped!! THat looks too fun. I love dirt roads.

I just got off work...
