I think you’re on the right track. You can pull the thermostat and boil it in water to see if it’s operating at temperature. If so the cap can be tested with a tester available at a decent parts store. Past that, maybe a faulty gauge/sending unit. Check actual temp with a infrared thermometer if...

That is interesting. I don’t recall my piston being 2 pieces. IIRC there was a note in the parts catalog for a split in the serial numbers. I imagine I have one of the lower serial numbers and you have the upper, and there were model year changes with the machines. Yours is much easier, getting...

It wasnt the worst job I have done. Messy, but doable. I don’t know if the 48 is like the 35 the way they route the hoses down through the swing joint or not, but that’s one of the tougher aspects is getting the cylinder end back in place with all the hoses fighting for room in there as well.

Yea, most on the FEL are original. I’m amazed they have lasted this long. The rubber outer coating has been cracked for years. If water gets in it rusts the braid, then after a while you get what I had today. I threw a old longer one I had on to finish what I was doing. But full replacement on...

This one let off under some pressure. Sounded like a firecracker, kinda caught me off guard!

I have to do the same..

I never got around to messing with it this weekend, daughter brought home stomach flu from school early in the week, it finally made its way to me. 😩 havent been on the toilet this much since my last colonoscopy🤷🏻‍♂️

Correct. If I weld it I would unhook the hoses and drain the oil.

Mine is leaking from that tube that is brazed onto the 90, but the side closer to the cylinder.

I’m basically using the Raleigh L35 method just with a couple home made parts to save a few bucks, his was so flawless there is no need to reinvent the wheel 😉

Yea maybe I’ll mess with it tomorrow. Will report back findings whenever I do.

Here’s the part breakdown on messics
