    lpg gauges led on dash

    As I understand it, its a pressure transduser for the LED's and a recalibrated pressure guage for the mechanical tank dial. Hence the unreliability. Petrol guages read the level of the tank from a ballcock on a pottentiomenter, but with gas sure its done on pressure, hence the vaguary, as they...

    lpg gauges led on dash

    I think they're all like that, TBH. Bloke that finds a 'cure' to the guess guage will cause a stampede! I think that it's as much as anything a sensitivity 'thing'; The led guages seem are a lot more sensitive than a mechanical guage, so they dont have the self damping in the system to...

    What would be a 1st mod to a Suzuki SJ?

    Seriouse answer, the little SJ is actually quite a capable little off-roader. Its main problem is the tw@s that tend to drive them! And the idea that they need extreme mods to be cool & useful...... The 'Ultimate' SJ apparently being a leaf sprung Range Rover! Anyway..... So dont...

    Towin Eye

    Stropping the axle is a procedure in the REME recovery manual, and a technique that used to be vaunted, and a few years ago, you could actually buy an axle bridle 'kit', basically winch-cable, permenantly attached to the axle at the swivil flanges, and looped up to the chassis and held on cable...

    Strop: under axle at the off-side; over the top of the diff housing, back under other side of the axle, loops brought back together to form a bridle. Strop is kept low, away from the valence, and lines of force are beneficial as they dont have to be transmitted through the suspension links.

    What wheels !

    More likely going from an imperial sized cross-ply to a metric sized radial... or the tread patern, or the wheels, or the bludy tyre pressure...... there's quite a few vaiables in there, and on a 90, you have a completely different steering arrangement with different linkage ratio's; you dont...

    As Paul's comment, but you keep sating 'stinger' I presume you have a very short plastic arial? They are notoriousely 'compromised' for range & reception; difficult to 'trim' for SWR too.... have you got the instructions that came with the kit, and have you checked out the 'FAQ / Help sections...

    Did you buy it new, or off e-bay or something? Very easy to blow the transmitter transistors in a CB set if the arial isn't connected, the arial or cabling is damaged, or its REALLY badly set up. Lot of 2nd hand rigs that have been 'popped' and are beyond ecconomic repair get punted out 2nd...

    The phenomina of turbulance increasing performance in an engine was first recorded by the Norton motorcycle factory, around the mid 1920's, when they released the first Norton 'International' road going 'replica' of the Manx TT winning race bike. They polished the ports on the road going...

    What wheels !

    OK, what have you got to fit them to and why do you think that tyres more than TWICE the width the factory fitted are a good idea? The wheels they are fitted to should probably have a wider offset and give about an extra inch of track width, and to that you can add a set of 30mm spacers for...

    Clutch or gear box.......?

    Sounds like a bit of both. For now, try changing the clutch fluid & bleeding. It will be the syncro cones going thin inside the box, giving the notch out of 1st and difficult engagement of 2nd, but it will be exacserbated if the clutch is a bit thin and you're not t aking all the load off them...

    What wheels !

    750's are about the biggest tyre diameter wise you can comfortably fit on a series without other mods. Factory fitted 900's to the 1-ton, but to do so they fitted a lower ratio x-fer box to get the gearing back to something sensible, and put extended spring hangers on the chassis and shackles...
