correct, but on the return line you normally have a barbed fitting threaded into the gear box and use hose clamps and hose to reach the back of the barbed fitting on the pump resevoir.Quote:

You might need a barb fitting to screw into the low pressure side to connect it to the reservoir, but I'm not sure. One way to tell for sure what side is high and low pressure is to just get the hose, the bends in the metal end are usually prety indicative.
pretty sure the thread is different too. bigger for the supply side. and yes, they are metric on the o-ring style.Quote:

pm'd you.
Fixed overheating problem. It was the thermostat like I had thought. Replaced it, adjusted carb and fixed the idling problem. It's running awesome, you barely even know it's running but it has a good exhaust tone considering it's a $16 muffler. Also fixed the nastyness coming from a bolt being an 1/8 of an inch too long on the extra crankshaft pulley, a couple washers to space it out and it was perfect, no more noise.
While at the parts store I had the pump on the counter and was ready to guy it, but they didn't have any v-belt pulley's available at any stores, nor a cap for the reservoir. So I didn't buy it. I'm just going to pull the pump I have now off take it to J&B and have them make me 2 sets of lines so I'll have a spare.
I also did a little body work....Took the sawzaw and cut out some sheetmetal for my new taillights. I got them all wired up and now I even have blinkers. :laughing:
Sorry didn't get to finish my post, I did take it for a drive and no problems....yet. I drove over to my neighbor who I bought it from and she flipped the **** out. She didn't even recognize it at first and thought it was cool.
I'm eatin' some lunch then I'll go take some pics of it in action. :gigem:
redline and drop the clutch.
best way to find your weak spots without actually wheeling
:D
I had my grandpa riding with me up the road when I hammered the throttle and the tires broke loose in 1st gear...he told me before we left to take it easy. I wish I had a picture of the look on his face..... :laughing:
pills? Whaddaya need those for old timer? Looks like we got a little oil pressure problem. She's running reeeeel hot!
Here's some from today flexing on another load of dirt and in the ditch. I apoligize for my four legged friends constantly trying to be in the pics. I think they just like following me around.

pics not working!
Now? Oh and this ***** is street legal baby, I got the blinkers, flashers, taillights, and high beam switch all working. Now it's time for inspection. :flipoff2:
BTW- Did I mention that I blew another u-joint? I'm getting really good at replacing them.... Turns out since the pinion yoke is a strap type with no type of hold for the u-joint like ones that use u-bolts, the u-joint kept sliding out when I was at full droop causing the caps to bust off. So I shaved the yokes down some more and tacked the caps in. All better now. I'm amazed at how quiet it is. You don't even know it's running. I have to give props to Crieghton for his bang up job on filling in the 2" exhaust pipe to 2.25" muff in/out.
Driving down the road was the funniest thing ever since neighbors had only remembered the old stock Jeep. They were like, "so that's what all that noise in the shop has been late at night..." :D It rides pretty nice but I seriously need my damn seat covers.
I was going to drill through the yoke until I placed a nut up to the back and saw that it wouldn't fit. I'll end up just getting another yoke to save time. Let me load a pic of the fender at full flex so you can get a better look.
