ahh fun but all you had to do on those Stanadyne pumps to save the metering valves was add a bit of hydraulic oil to the fuel to add lubricity to replace the removed sulfur that the know all governmental knobs decided to remove and all was well worked well with all rotary pumps as well

I was worried I was gonna see a repeat of tctractors again. Looks like all is well here !

Well you can't take away my source of "experience " Google is all I have brother.

Guess I should have added a metal boat to ground stray electric currents.

Of all the things I've lost in my life, I miss my mind the most ...........

I agree. . . "..I miss my mind the most. . " as I age.
What I also miss is the quickness -OF MY MIND- when analyzing problems. But 'I believe' that has occurred because I have so much more 'retained knowledge' it takes longer to process and sort out the irrelevant. . . . . . . at least that's MY story.
Your quote reminds me of the old tried and true method we used for resolving complicated problems with computers.
Start off with K-iss I-t S-imple S-upid. Usually that didn't work. . . but you never know.
If that didn't get it fixed, run all diagnostics, use all available test equipment to narrow down the problem area, analyze the results in detail and draw a circle around the area in the schematics where the problem obviously was.
If that didn't work to correct the problem, draw a bigger circle.
(I know it's an oldie)
I have seen so many problems that did not' make sense' that I never tell someone (OK . . . maybe sometimes) they don't know what they are talking about with the 'problem' or the 'resolution'. But always listen to both as they may come in handy.

Does anyone else think that a reduction in "quickness" regarding a problem analysis after being presented with a list of symptoms could possibly be related to the increasing complexity of the latest generation of machines on the market...?

In answer to your question Nige yes yes I think everyone is taking a copy out of the Liebherr manual let us make things work complicated and more intricate than they need to be for simple operation
Actually, I was referring to 'MY mind' and 'it's' apparent loss of 'quickness' as I have aged. . . but I take no offense.
However you bring up a very good point. "..the increasing complexity of the latest generation of machines on the market." presents a problem in that the 'cost' of getting a problem 'fixed' is becoming astronomical.
IMHO - Most of the 'cost' is primarily due the 'complexity', added to by the 'lack of in-depth knowledge' of the individuals servicing the equipment. End result is repairs 'rely' on what the 'codes' tell service providers who 'throw parts' at the problem. It's quick but also 'costly'.
As computer engineers we had a saying for such 'complexity' and the service provided. (The knowledge and training provided individuals for solving problems)
One banana monkey (read the ERROR CODE and replace what it said), two banana monkey (read ERROR CODE and compare it to other codes and replace what has not been replaced before, or three banana monkey (the engineers who 'should' know everything)

Oh crap, learned something new today... disconnect the battery when welding on the machine. I guess I got away with it so far, will not chance it anymore.
Thanks

You're disrupting the class you need a time out
You get the gist of it.
The monkeys are hungry and want to eat their banana's so they are focused on them. If they get THREE bananas they can't hold them all so they have to 'think' about what to do.

[Threadjack] We do a yearly trip after Christmas. We rent a sailboat out of St. Pete, FL for 10 days. We sail to the Dry Tortugas and do some scuba diving, snorkeling, eating, drinking, etc.... Sometimes we go to Key West for a day before going home. We are leaving this year on Dec. 27th on a Jenneau 469 (46' monohull).[/Threadjack]You're disrupting the class you need a time out
