    Bought a Generator

    Rick, I don't know if you meant that literally, but the small engine techs at the turf equipment shop here recommend to run the engine until the stabilized fuel has displaced all unstabilized fuel in the carb, then top off the tank with more stabilized fuel. They also strongly recommend...

    Charger/converter-what is it?

    If this is any indication of reliability: The one in our 93FLL still works. It only operates when "test" is pressed, and the lights are LEDs, so it should last . . .

    compound winter/government experience

    Battery test reports Two tests, identical results: 5 volts, 0 cranking amps, "replace battery" That was obvious to robobd and Rich as the probable cause. It should have been obvious to me, too, but no, when it lifted in increments "as though it had been exhausting a weak battery" I instead...

    compound winter/government experience

    Rich, I had to move a stack of 1.25"x20 ft lumber to get my truck back there, but your suggestion to jump the battery worked. Seems the top was not up all the way as I thought, for it rose a fraction before topping out with the usual pump squeal. Now, I'm off to have the battery checked - its...

    compound winter/government experience

    Rich, you asked: "Why it stops on the way up.....?? Does the motor stop running or does the lift stall like it is in the full up position." To clarify: the last time it did lift at all it only lifted incrementally, a few inches at a time before pooping out, and each time it pooped out it just...

    compound winter/government experience

    :confused: Rich - I do not know the best way to check the battery and converter. All I know is the battery surface voltage measures 12.6v; the manual override on the solenoid seems to be stuck; the solenoid clicks when the lift switch is pushed; the safety bar release cable seems stuck; and...

    30 amp power cord conversion

    Nope, but... Haven't tried that mod, but I have compromised tendons in both hands at the moment so I'll sure concur with the desire! What's more, around here the cord get's filthy (we're living in our 93 21FLL onsite during house construction). The best way I've found to stuff the cord in...

    compound winter/government experience

    Thought I'd share this experience for anyone planning to be similarly situated. We own a 1993 21-ft FunLite. We hoped to start an est. 6-mo. house remodel on July 1, but the City delayed our permit until Oct and transformed our modest remodeling hopes to a full-on tear-down and rebuild. Our...

    Fixing mildewed 93 Funlite wheel housing 'insulation'

    Nope, nothing there but an intact wheel housing. I think your other theory about why the owner put the cardboard there in the first place is very probable - to serve as a simple non-conductive insulator between the HWH and the otherwise bare metal of the wheel housing, because that would make...

    Fixing mildewed 93 Funlite wheel housing 'insulation'

    Good point! Notice the tape job on the covering - that doesn't strike me as Hi-Lo's normal MO, either. If I could raise the previous owner from the grave, I'd ask (we inherited it). If everyone else has bare metal, I wonder if they have any problems with it. This trailer spent winters on...

    Fixing mildewed 93 Funlite wheel housing 'insulation'

    Even before I removed our leaking water heater, we could smell mildew. After removing it, I found the leak had wet the surface on which the heater had rested, on either side of the heater. This surface, seen in the attached interior view, is made of corrugated fiberboard (normal shipping box...
