[Vwdiesel] Starting a cccccold Rabbit ---( Mike Smith Bondo Golfy ).

[H . Hagar.]

fuel consumption during idle?CCCcccold here !   Smith, Michael 


I Hagar say thank you Mike for this one  ---starting a 100 dollar   85 Golfy   when the
mercury say   minus 20 C  is a real challenge.       I am in PAIN   24   7     BUT    when
I drive Bunny Bondo    or I consentrate on   problems like this (others)  ---I do not
seem to feel the pain.

First  , you are trying to make a NYLON purse out of a pigs ASS. ----   so you will need
this place  ----a LOT. .    --------   First thing to do ?  ---look in the garage and see if you have 
any old sleeping bags or Blankets.    Then go to a  homeless person on the street and
hand it to her .A few cans of soup and a Cider inside would do little harm.

Why ?   ----very important to get your mind in the right mindset-.   And if you think a Cold
Golfy is a problem ----try being a street person.     You have NO PROBLEMS.   just
a few challenges.

I was lucky to have a very smart Teacher in 1948  in Copenhagen Denmark. He lived in
an apartment close to the amputation hospital    ----they do all the work for Greenland
---the whole country. He told the class that every time he had problems at home  --
and it looked bad.----He would take the hand of Martha --and say lets take a walk.
After walking around the block of that hospital ?   HE said shit  by the time we get home ? we got no problems.

I promise to hang in there with you  ---because I know some of cold starter  types here and 
James Hansen and  ----so on and so on   ---- I am a Harry Potter type  and  ----when
people ask me  "How did you know how to do THAT?"   ----I say     MAGIC. . Ask any
Idiot Savant    ---- they do not know .   (  I do know that a lot of nifty tricks come from here ).

Val Christian just come up with a nifty Idea --- I am going to test it this weekend.    And for you
Mike it may just do it.   A battery in the trunk   two   wires   to the plugs   ---That will heat
the swirl chambers while you work.    At 12 Volts the peak watt is 180 W per plug  , at 6 Volts
say 45 Watts  per plug    or a bit less.. Measure the current to know for sure.  For an 8 hour
workday ?    a battery will do that .     Go the the car at lunch  and  energize  ----4 hours  at
15amps ?   it should work.   (--REMEMBER I have not done it so far.)     BUT it is
too good an I dea not to test.

You work at the Hospital  ?     great  (brain surgeon ?)   ----- Go to ward # 6  --and ask the
head NURSE   if she has any Diesel mechanics there.   ----then to the Maternety  ----then
to the  OLD geezer place.   remember where there ia a WILL   there is a WAY.

For the flyboys ?    remember  "Keebird"  ----frozen in time ?   -------- I literely cried when I
saw that film.    The Saga took place in Denmark.     

I look at the Old Volks home as a warehouse of knowledge------and we can get it all for
FREE:   .    I am still looking for that BOSCH   VE pump person.   ---last week I  visited
Mr.Bob. Walters ----there he lies with tubes up his nose  -----but his brain ?    sharp as a
knife. Electrical type   ---with experience  ---that is hard to beat. (Lenora and I went there
to get his money)   ( for the  "Kitty Care Fund" ).

Mike  not much you can do about compression    right now.       BUT you can do someting real easy about
Cetane number   ---injection point ----and cranking speed and heat.

So you must carry a thermometer ------and a cell phone .     How far from home to work ?

If you got BAD fuel   less than   40  cetane ?   ----park   Golfy. ....   So first thing is to get the number
up at least for starting.    Get it up to 100 to 200 Cetane.       ------you may quote me it
works.   --------A liter or two of    Hexyl Nitrate       ----------a liter of Ether will get you well in to springtime.

Falcon pipette is what I use.     Mine are #4    I think they are 5cc.   ----   Banjo must be easy to 
remove and put back fast    .So keep the outside of pump Hospital (operating room)   CLEAN.
First thing I do ?    I make sure pump is full to the brim  -----but a 5 cc of ether    added will do wonders.
Keep the Ether frozen.   as cold as possible.

DO NOT USE STARTING FLUID IN SPRAY BOMBS..

Pull your battery terminals and sandpaper to a shine cover in Vaseline and reinstall.
Brand new my ass    That lead has to be SHINY.   ----SHINY ? got it ?.
Oh and by the way that Ammeter is not identical to the one I got from  cTc .   Not important
for doing plugs.     ----you should pull 45 amps  --on test. (3 plugs).

KD    tools may still be selling a Ammeter     1000 Amp   jobby    real cheap.    It works like a
charm on Battery to starter cables.

Hagar.

PS:   I just changed #  4 plug on Bunny Bondo  ---NO sign of lubrication ---
Put lots of  Ever -Sleeze  on your plugs and injectors  ---Then next time it will be a piece
of Apple pie to remove  ---Use marine grade .
