I wish, he only had the one key.

Could someone please recommend a sprocket combination?

Since the front and rear sprockets are worn out and I need a new chain, what tooth counts would be a good match up for speeds under 50 and mountain driving?
Thanks!

I haven't been on here in quite some time ...

Yes - good luck again with the move. Back to a closer location for a visit on my NC trips.... at least closer than the midwest.

I would still consider that tank very useful. After cleaning I would clean any areas that may have pinholes down to bare metal, find the largest soldering iron you have and solder the holes closed. Once all known pinholes are sealed make sure the inside is as clean as possible and perfectly dry and ...

Oh, and this is an interesting article for anyone rebuilding the original:

In case you never considered the condition of the lever's mating surfaces to the gasket material he reminds everyone of this....

That's so strange - it must be petcock week because I was just reading this as well:

Woo-hoo! Erie, PA! Girard, PA here... Welcome to the group!

And I had to read that message about 9 times before I put the words in the right order - I kept reading 'I had an Elite for 80 years'...

I believe I used the 1.75" UNI pod and that worked quite well.

If you are really interested in the exact replacement I think some have them at most likely outrageous prices. I have seen them around.

Has anyone toyed with this? With all the batteries that I use and the required replacement every few years I started doing more than browsing over the holidays and studied a few of the methods touted by those in the wind and solar energy arena in an attempt to keep their batteries going. Of course ...

The stock chain is 428-108 Links, available in multiple places...

Quite a few options for the key - if you are lucky enough to have an affordable locksmith in the area that can make you a key relatively cheap, this could be the way to go. No such luck in my area as the price to make a key seems to indicate that they are made from solid gold. I went with http ...

Well, finally getting back to this. Received the Caswell product a bit ago, but finally made the time to do it. Previously I had soaked the interior with a phosphoric acid solution and then let it dry. For good measures I rinsed well with acetone this morning and let it dry with a mini fan directed ...

Congrats on the new job - but there goes the hobby time. You'll be back to no time with the rest of us. And so much for painting 8 months out of the year!

Finished the phosphoric acid soak and ordered the Caswell product today. I'm going to see how it works. Will let everyone know - might even tint it bright red or yellow to get a cool effect inside the tank!

I have in the past used soldering and brazing as options on small pinholes and such. Both have worked for many years - but this depends on the condition of the rest of the tank.

As for sealers, I was never fond of the Kreem product after reading so many stories, and as such will never try it. I was ...
