Yea but if I got that one I'd be too tempted to try fixing it and then have to try to convince wife I really needed three mixers!

No, but maybe the rockers need adjusting to relieve excessive compression pressure putting too much load on the key switch!

Boy are you in luck.
I have a friend of a friend of a friend that has a Commodore 64 with the 50 10" floppy discs and he has the special bluetooth cable that plugs into the cigarette lighter. I believe it is the 800HP marine brake saver, but it might be the 2000HP version. Depends on the intercooler.
Now, I think he wants about a grand for it, so if you were to send me a money order for $10,000, I will cash the money order in, send him $10 and send the other $8000 back to you.

Instead of hot fudge topping a good dose of canned gravy and I'm in there!

Well Just notice that in about 24 hours this thread has hit 66 posts so it might be heading towards a record!

I can't believe that with so many "experts" on HEF they have all failed to diagnose that the problem is obviously a cracked superheater tube......

My experience is that the cracks propagate from pinholes due to cavitation in the superheater coolant system. Most people don’t know to check this out. You need a cool superheater.

The tubes are prone to burning out...

Okay then.
I have changed the battery oil.
I was a little worried about the several thousand tons of lead needed for protection from the plutonium in the battery so I wove a large Faraday screen around the Ebike.
I have the new Telsa carburetor coming, trying to find a new jar of left hand drive Lucas smoke on Alibaba ( I want original Lucas)
I have filed the key down
I think I have the pork to salsa ratio just about perfect
The cornbread is in the oven
Douglas Adams is a Rock Star
I painted it British Racing Green
Sat on it upside down
AND IT STILL WILL NOT START
And now you tell me about superheater tubes...
I'm going to change the oil again....

Dont change it, just add Lucas additive with viscosity thickeners and friction modifiers. That will ensure the pork:salsa ratio doesn't get out of proportion.

Go get yourself a can of compression and spray it down those superheater tubes, but be careful to not spray too much in there, there’s a chance you could blow out the muffler bearing....

I would connect ET and check the superheater software. You may have to do a reflash with the current version.

I find that reflashing only works when you augment the BFH in pulse mode to help it flash.
